Terrific educational resource! As someone who is passionate about deepening ny understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy, I appreciate this high quality video.
I have taken a couple of C&Ps this year. The first time the doctor told me to bend or lift my arms until i felt pain. Three months later when I had to do everything all over again because my military situation changed the doctor told me to bend and lift as much as i can even through the pain. It hurt a lot but being in the military you just suck up the pain. I would think that one was correct and the other was not but I don't know which. Any thoughts? This was not covered in the video.
Basing on ocular inspection, if the R leg is longer in supine and becomes "shorter" in long sitting, how can we tell that the R leg really became shorter (as in a R anterior innominate) and not just the L leg becoming longer (as in a L posterior innominate)? Or is the fact that it's hard to tell one of the reasons why this test has low reliability? Thanks!
I agree! And thanks for chiming in... it wasn't until after recording the video that I realized the contrast was lower than anticipated. Future recordings will utilize a higher contrast ink.
Very useful video. Is there a difference in normal range of motion value between goniometre and tape measure technique? I tried to search this online but cannot find the answer. Lots of pages indicate normal value for lumbar flexion as 60 to 90 degree..while others indicate 120 degree (which it is hard to achieve unless the person is super flexible? Or is this a different measurement unit ?) Thank you
Great video, confused on one thing from this video, to another video you have. In the other video you say the upper discs do not have a nucleus, in this one you’re saying they do?
Great mobility indeed! Hopefully you've partnered with a provider who can help you restore mobility and function as the body remains highly adaptable even after surgical care. Wishing you health and wellness!
Yeah, my back goes out every time some a hole does this evaluation. 33 years of some jerk pushing too far and I have to live with it while they play golf.
Thanks for chiming in and for watching. Since the PAIVM falls into a manual therapy category Joel Bialosky's perspective paper is a great one to review. You can find more at the attached link detailing the purpose and proposed model(s) at play: www.jospt.org/doi/full/10.2519/jospt.2018.7476
Kim - you're in luck. I have made more. Lots more... you can find additional videos through the following playlist. Thanks for taking the time to chime in and check out these resources. ru-vid.com/group/PLI44WoINxcz18aX9xkDR85_u-2WcG9Fn0
This video was so very helpful to me, a Veteran with a 25 year old shoulder surgery and a C5/6 fusion about 12 years old. Thank you, thank you very much. I appreciate this sincerely. God bless you.
Thanks for taking the time to share your journey as well as some feedback. I'm glad you found this to be a resource. Wishing you continued health and wellness!
Hello Casey - the reference is as follows: Stolz M, von Piekartz H, Hall T, Schindler A, Ballenberger N. Evidence and recommendations for the use of segmental motion testing for patients with LBP-A systematic review. Musculoskeletal Science and Practice. 2020;45:102076. Thanks for taking the time to check out this video and chime in.
Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment. If you head to www.trexopt.com and click on the "contact us" link (providing your contact info) we'll be better positioned to help. Running is our bread and butter!
Vinay - thanks for the feedback. Not sure why you are only able to access 480p...it may be a connection issue as this video is available in 480, 720, and 1080. Appreciate the feedback, though I would encourage you to try this on a different connection (i.e. Wi-Fi vs. LAN, etc.)
Thanks for chiming in - difficult to say based on only 1 test. There's a phrase that is commonly applied to orthopedic assessment: "One test is no test." Without having additional context (history, physical examination, etc.) it would be difficult to note "why" this was occurring. Depending upon your location, I may have a colleague or reference for you if you'd like to connect with a licensed healthcare professional for further evaluation.
Is it normal to hear a pop sound after the elbow valgus and/or varus stress test? Athlete has been prescribed to shut down for 2 months with a sprained UCL and have recently started to do PT, no other previous tests have experienced with such pop sound.
Hmm, a good question. Without a thorough examination it is hard to give specific "yes" vs. "no" feedback. A 'pop' may be experienced for a variety of reasons (e.g. osteochondritis dissecans, loose bodies, ligament laxity, etc.) Thankfully, the UCL is fairly superficial which allows access to palpation. If you can differentiate between the anterior and posterior bands, further palpation with overpressure may help clarify if the pop is superficial (i.e. UCL related) or more internal (i.e. joint related). Hope this helps!
Hello Carley - yes, when palpating for the 12th rib you can use the costal angle (most lateral portion) to line up your mobile arm. Thanks for watching and chiming in!
Glad you found this helpful, Stephanie - feel free to share these videos and resources with anyone else who may benefit. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback as well! 🙏
Hey Remington - yes, as noted both in the comment/notes associated with the video, as well as is noted at 1:22 in the video, a (+) positive test is when the addition of knee flexion does not result in additional hip flexion. (the added video note above and my comment at the end of the video were intentional corrections due to my inadvertent statement at 0:39)
David - glad you found this helpful. Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment. Additionally, feel free to share these resources with anyone else you may benefit. All the best!
As a kinesiology student I am so glad to have found this page! This will be a big help when it comes to helping train the athletes at the college! I feel so comfortable taking measurements now with the extra help!
You're very welcome - most anatomical regions should have an anatomy overview video. Additionally, there are more test and measures videos that you may find useful as you progress into the clinical courses (neuro, MSK, etc.)
