 Regional Interdependence[edit | edit source]

  • Regional interdependence is the concept that a musculoskeletal treatment targeting a specific area of the body could have effects in another, seemingly unrelated, part of the body[1].
  • Examples of Regional Interdependence:

          -  Elbow

          -  Shoulder

Examination[edit | edit source]

Screen patient for red flags[2]

Condition Red Flags
Back-related tumor
  • Constant pain not affected by position or activity; worse with weight bearing, worse at night
  • Age over 50
  • History of cancer
  • Failure of conservative intervention (failure to improve within 30 days)
  • Unexplained weight loss
Cauda equina syndrome
  • Urine retention
  • Fecal incontinence
  • Saddle anesthesia
  • Sensory or motor deficits in the feet (L4, L5, S1 areas)
Back-related infection
  • Recent infection (eg, urinary tract or skin), intravenous drug user/abuser
  • Concurrent immunosuppressive disorder
  • Deep constant pain, increases with weight bearing
  • Fever, malaise, and swelling
  • Spine rigidity; accessory mobility may be limited
  • Fever: tuberculosis osteomyelitis
  • Fever: pyogenic osteomyelitis
  • Fever: spinal epidural abscess
Spinal compression fracture
  • History of major trauma, such as vehicular accident, fall from a height, or direct blow to the spine
  • Age over 50
  • Age over 75
  • Prolonged use of corticosteroids
  • Point tenderness over site of fracture
  • Increased pain with weight bearing
Abdominal aneurysm
  • Back, abdominal, or groin pain
  • Presence of peripheral vascular disease or coronary artery disease and associated risk factors (age over 50, smoker, hypertension, diabetes mellitus)
  • Smoking history
  • Family history
  • Age over 70
  • Non-Caucasian
  • Female
  • Symptoms not related to movement stresses associated with somatic low back pain
  • Abdominal girth <100 cm
  • Presence of a bruit in the central epigastric area upon auscultation
  • Palpation of abnormal aortic pulse
  • Aortic pulse 4 cm or greater
  • Aortic pulse 5 cm or greater

Physical Impairment Measures[2]

  • Evaluate Thoraco-Lumbar Active and Passive ROM

          -  Quadrant Test

  • Segmental Mobility
  • Pain Provocation with Segmental Mobility Testing
  • Judgments of Centralization during Movement Testing

          - Look for a centralization of pain with repeated motion in a specific direction.

  • Prone Instability Test
  • Judgments of the presence of aberrant movement
  • Straight Leg Raise
  • Slump Test
  • Trunk Muscle Power and Endurance
  • Passive Hip Internal Rotation, External Rotation, Flexion, and Extension
  • Mental Impairment Measures

          -  Depression

          -  Yellow Flags

          -  Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire

Also consider Hip Examination

  • Active and Passive ROM
  • Joint Mobility
  • Strength

          - Hip Mobilizations

  

Therapeutic Exercise

  •  Strengthening

          - Hip Abduction with slight extension and internal rotation
