1
Q

Posterior-Anterior (PA) Central Vertebral Pressure:

A

Bilaterally distributed symptoms.

2
Q

Posterior-Anterior (PA) Unilateral Vertebral Pressure:

A

Unilaterally distributed symptoms particularly if middle or upper lumbar in origin.

3
Q

Transverse Vertebral Pressure:

A

Unilaterally distributed symptoms. More useful for upper lumbar spine than lower.

4
Q

Rotation:

A

Often the first technique used. Unilaterally distributed symptoms (rotate pelvis forwards on the side of pain).

5
Q

Longitudinal Movement.
One Leg:
Two Leg:

A
  • Unilaterally distributed symptoms of lower lumbar origin.

- Bilaterally distributed symptoms of lower lumbar origin.

6
Q

Flexion:

A

Bilaterally distributed symptoms of a chronic nature in the presence of flexion restriction.

7
Q

Traction:

A

Helps increase the space within Intervertebral bodies and release stress on the discs.

8
Q

Intermittent Variable Traction:

A

Gross radiological degenerative changes.

9
Q

Straight Leg Raise (SLR):

A

Unilateral limitation of SLR without extreme pain.

For symptoms of chronic or stable Nature arising from the nerve root.

10
Q

Lumbar Technique Applied if Unilateral Symptoms:

A

Rotation = Posterior Anterior Central Vertebral Pressure.

11
Q

Lumbar Technique Applied if Bilateral Symptoms:

A
  • Posterior-Anterior Central Vertebral Pressure.

- Rotation.

12
Q

Lumbar Technique Applied if Unilateral Symptoms and Upper Lumbar Region:

A
  • Transverse Vertebral Pressure.

- Traction.

13
Q

Lumbar Technique Applied if Unilateral Symptoms and Lower Lumbar Region:

A
  • Traction.

- Longitudinal Movement.

14
Q

Lumbar Technique Applied if Bilateral Symptoms and Upper Lumbar Region:

A
  • Transverse Vertebral Pressure.

- Traction.

15
Q

Lumbar Technique Applied if Bilateral Symptoms and Lower Lumbar Region:

A
  • Traction.

- Longitudinal Movement.

16
Q

What does PPIVM stand for?

A

Passive Physiological Intervertebral Movements

17
Q

When are PPIVMS used?

A
  • In an Assessment Capacity rather than as a Treatment therapy.
18
Q

What Information is Gained from PPIVMs

A
  • Determine Spinal Movement to Aid Manual Therapy.
  • Note ROM, Muscle Spasm or provocation of pain.
  • Identify Hyper Mobility, Location, Nature, Severity and Irritability.
19
Q

What does NAGS stand for within the Mulligan Concept.

A

Natural Apophyseal Glides.

20
Q

What does SNAGS stand for within the Mulligan Concept.

A

Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides.

21
Q

What does MWMS stand for within the Mulligan Concept.

A

Mobilisation With Movements.

22
Q

What does PAIVM stand for?

A

Passive Accessory Intervertebral Movement.

23
Q

What does MWM stand for?

A

Mobilisation With Movement.
