Kemps Test: + with a referral into the buttocks - answer Lumbar Facet syndrome
Kemps test: + with localized low back pain - answer Lumbar joint dysfunction
Which range of motions are painful for facet syndrome/joint dysfunction? Which provide
relief? - answerPx= extension
Relief= Flexion
POM for lumbar facet syndrome/joint dysfunction - answer Conservative chiropractic
treatment
Difference b/w a lumbar sprain/strain - answer Sprain = ligaments
Strain = muscles
Most common MOI for lumbar sprain/strain - answerFalling injury/ overuse injury

= breaking down of annular fibres (prior to disc bulge)
Disc herniation = protruding nucleus pulposus creating a localized inflammatory reponse
on the nerve root
S/S localized LBP, numbness/tingling/lack of sensation in the thigh/leg/foot, lack of

,Degenerative spondy - answerOccurs due to a degenerative elongation of the pars,
which may result in compression on the nerve (causing a condition called lateral
stenosis)
Dysplastic spondy - answerCongenital defect of facet
Traumatic spondy - answerSingle traumatic event that caused a break and subsequent
slippage
Pathologic spondy - answerCaused by secondary disease
Types of Spondy (5) - answerIsthmic
Degenerative
Dysplastic
Traumatic
Pathologic
Secondary condition that can occur as a result of degenerative spondy - answerLateral
stenosis
Physical presentation of spondy - answerIncreased lumbar lordosis w/ weakness is
anterior core muscles and tight hamstrings (lower cross)
Neuro findings of spondy - answerPresent in the case of degenerative spondy
Decreased sensory, weakened motor, and decreased DTRs (lower motor neuron
lesion)
POM for spondylolisthesis - answerConservative chirpopractic treatment with a focus on
core strengthening
When would you refer for bracing for a spondy? - answerIn the event that the patient is
a child and there are early signs of pars stress fx seen on xray w/ no slippage. Refer for
bracing until healed
S/S: occurs as a result of posterior osteophytes or central disc herniation. B/L
neurological symptoms (MSRs). SHOPPING CART SIGN experiencing relief on flexion
- answerCentral stenosis
S/S: occurs as a result of degenerative spondy or severe facet degeneration narrowing
the IVF of one side. Unilateral neuro symptoms. Experiences relief from lateral bending
AWAY from side - answerLateral stenosis
Most common type of spinal stenosis - answerLateral
, POM for spinal stenosis - answerConservative chiropractic treatment with neurological
consult as surgical management might be beneficial if they do not respond to
conservative treatment
S/S: deep gluteal px at the top centre of the gluteal region occuring typically after a fall
of the buttocks. Severe px with prolonged sitting and going from a seated to standing

Physical Exam Results for a coccyx subluxation/fixation - answerCoccyx typically
towards one side over the other.
tuning fork negative
Xray may show rotation of the coccyx (= subluxation not fixation)
POM for coccyx subluxation/fixation - answerconservative chiropractic treatment.
Internal coccygeal adjustments might be warranted if they do not respond to external
adjustments
S/S: Pain caused by too little blood flow to the legs which occurs as a symptom of
peripheral artery disease. The arteries that supply the limbs of the lower limb are
narrowed due to them being atherosclerotic. Most often, this pain occurs after walking
for a certain time (depending on the severity of the condition), but is relieved by rest -
answerVascular claudication
Physical exam: pulse measurement (diminished), ankle brachial index (<0.90), exercise
testing (pain after small amount of exercising), doppler ultrasound (diminished) -
answerVascular claudication
POM for vascular claudicaiton - answergoals are to reduce pain and manage risk
factors that contribute to vascular claudication. For example, although exercise is
