Possible Serious Spine Pathology: Red Flags
- Traumatic
- Neoplastic
- Infectious
- Inflammatory
-
Spinal tumors can be ruled out if the patient is:
- > 50 years old
- No general health changes (i.e. unexplained weight loss)
- No h/o CA
- Responding to conservative intervention
-
Postural Syndrome
- Normal tissues abnormally strained for a period of time
- SR requires a time element, usually at least several minutes in the abnormal position
-
Dysfunction Syndrome
- Tissues are tight
- SR occurs only at end range of the tight tissue
-
Derangement Syndrome
- The normal alignment of the articular surface is disrupted
- SR occur at multiple points throughout the range
- Centralization & peripheralization of symptoms only occur in a derangement
-
Non-Organic Signs
- Distraction: significant decrease in pain behavior when patient is unaware they are being observed
- Regional disturbances: weakness/sensory loss that does not conform to neuroanatomical explanation
- Simulation: sham provocation tests cause pain despite not stressing tissues
- Tenderness: in a non-anatomic pattern
- Over-reaction: to provoked pain
