MS3 Test 1
1.Structure that if inflamed, causes radicular pain (only structure that
does so): Nerve root
2.Structure that can produce back and glute pain: Anterior Dura mater
3.Structure that can produce glute and leg pain: Posterior Dura mater
4.structure that can produce central LBP: Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
5.Structure that can produce unilateral LBP depending on side: Annulus
fibro- sis
6.Structure that can produce focal sharp LBP when involved in
compression fractures: Vertebral end plate
7.Hurts mainly at PSIS when its a source of pain. Pain is unilateral and
rarely goes below knee or into lower back: Sacroiliac Joint
8.Structure that cannot be the source of pain but can still cause pain
(infre- quent): Lumbar fascia/muscle
9.Structure that cannot be the source of pain but can still cause pain
(infre- quent): Facet synovium and capsule
10.Less likely to return to work if score....on FABQ: greater than a 34 on
work section
11.Likely to benefit from thrust manipulation if score...FABQ: less than 19
on work section
12.Cognitive/behavioral approach to intervention if score....FABQ: greater
than a 13 on activity section
13.Less likely to benefit from stabilization if score...FABQ: less than a 9
on activity section
14.Less likely to benefit from mechanical traction if score....FABQ: less
than a 21 on work section
15.What level does the cauda equina start at?: L1-L2
16.Medication: Skelaxin. What does it do?: Muscle relaxer
17.Medication: Meloxican. What does it do?: Good for low back pain
18.What does a step off signify?: Spondylolisthesis. However could be
bilateral pars fracture in younger population or degenerative
spondylolisthesis in older pop- ulation
19.Normal lordosis measurement: 32 degrees (young adults)
20.Total TLS flexion normative value: 100-107 degrees
21.Isolated lumbar flexion normative value
and how to find this value. What value indicates instability?: 42-47
degrees. Do T12-L1 flexion value (Total TLS flexion) - S2 measurement
Greater than 53 degrees indicates instability
22.Total TLS extension normative value: 27-28 degrees
23.Thoracolumbar lateral flexion normative value: 30 degrees

25.AROM extension tape measure normative value: 2-3cm
26.Condition that affects mainly adolescent males. Kyphosis greater than
45 degrees that doesnt correct prone lying. Anterior wedging of greater than
5 degrees of 3 adjacent vertebrae , vertebral endplate irregularities and
Schmorl nodes. Etiology is osteochondrosis of the secondary ossification
centers.: - Scheuermann Disease
27.Condition with following lab values: +Rheumatoid factor, +ANA +Anti-
CCP-
: Rheumatoid Arthritis
28.Condition with following lab values: +Rheumatoid factor, +ANA, +CRP,
+ESR: Lupus
29.Condition with following lab values: +HLAB27, +CRP, +ESR, +Uric Acid: -

34.Thoracic outlet syndrome involves compression of neurovascular ele-
ments due to the inadequate amount of space between the: 1)... 2).... 3)....
What are some symptoms?: 1) anterior and middle scalene 2) first rib
and clavicle
3) pec minor/coracoid
symptoms: radiculopathy (C8 and T1), paresthesias, weakness, impaired
circula- tion, impaired ROM, reported coolness of arm and hand, edema,
dull/aching pain
35.condition with key clinical findings of muscle weakness, myalgia,
elevated creatine kinase and myoglobinurea. May lead to renal damage if
untreated. May be precipitated by overtraining: Rhabdomyolysis
36.Inflammatory disorder causing diffuse myalgias and stiffness. Shoulder
and pelvis affected most often. Managed with corticosteroids. Most
prevalent in women >50 years: Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR)
37.Good Prognosis Factors for LBP patients include:: Acute presentation,
ab- sence of neurological signs, gainful employment, lower pain rating,
