A. OA F RL SR
PE reveals significant TART findings in the lumbar spine, especially on the right at the lumbosacral junction; hypertonicity of the right QL; positive right standing flexion test; ASIS, PSIS, medial malleolus all superior on the right. Which of the following is the final step in a Still’s technique for this pt?
A. HVLA R leg inferior tug B. Low vel, medium amplitude right leg inferior tug C. IR of right hip D. ER of right hip E. Knee flexion F. Knee extension
B. Low vel, medium amplitude right leg inferior tug
PE reveals L2 TP prominent on the right and becomes more symmetric with extension. Which of the following best describes the ending position for a seated Still’s technique?
A. E RR SR B. E RL SL C. F RR SR D. F RL SL E. N RR SL F. N RL SR

A. L2 E RR SR
[L2 has the crus of both hemidiaphragms attached and therefore is intimately related to proper diaphragm function]
Exam reveals T7-9 FRRSR; right ribs 7-9 prefer exhalation. Which of the following describes best hand placement and starting position for FPR tx after initial neutralization of spine?
A. Palpate rib 7, accentuate exhalation B. Palpate rib 7, accentuate inhalation C. Palpate rib 8 accentuate exhalation D. Palpate rib 8 accentuate inhalation E. Palpate rib 9 accentuate exhalation F. Palpate rib 9 accentuate inhalation
A. Palpate rib 7 accentuate exhalation
A 27 y/o G4P3 F presents to her OB for her 36-week appt. the pt complains of LBP for several months and has become progressively worse. The pain worsens with activity and is alleviated by rest. The pain is generally localized to her low back, but at times radiates down the back of her thighs to just above her knees b/l. Her sleep has progressively deteriorated d/t pain becoming worse at night, especially w/ turning. Which of the following is the most likely etiology?
A. Mechanical postural stress B. Herniated L4 disc C. Vascular compromise d/t compression D. Osteoarthritis of lumbar spine E. Sacroiliitis
A. Mechanical postural stress
