CPRS for Mobilization/Manips, Stabilization, Traction for Lumbar Spine

MOB/MANIP CPR:
So, I'm Kristi and I actually meet the variables for mobilization/manipulation so I thought, why not make up a mnemonic about myself? "Kristi has sticky, hypomobile facets". And, I do. It's true. See pic for more info and a mini thumb cameo appearance. Don't judge, mcjudgersons.

K: knee, no sxs distal
H: hip, one hip IR >35 degrees
S: sxs, less than 16 days
H: hypomobile
F: FABQ <19


If you are more math inclined you can also think of the first 3 variables like an equation:

• Acute sxs < 16 days
• Turn the 6 upside down and you've got a 9 and now you can remember a FABQ score <19
• 16+19=35. As in at least one hip has 35 degrees of IR

STABILIZATION/IMMOBILIZATION CPR:

I think SPAA for this. When you go to the spa and you choose one of those ridiculously claustrophobic treatments where they wrap you up like a burrito, you are essentially immobilized. I'll refer you to the picture to see what SPAA stands for. Please note the age should be LESS than 40. I made a mistake in the picture.

S: SLR > 91 degrees
P: (+) Prone Instability Test (PIT)
A: Age < 40
A: aberrant motion

TRACTION:

Still a work in progress, but for now, I've got nothing, nada, zilch. I'm thinking about some sort of roller coaster idea or track star scenario.  I'll update this one when it's ready.

CHIIMP GILL

CHIIMP GILL

C: Chief complaint
H: History (medical personal, family, past surgeries, etc)
I: Imaging
I: Integumentary
M: Meds
P: Pain (locate/palpate it, easing and aggravating factors, intensity 0-10 scale)

G: Goals (what does the client want to achieve)
I: Initial assessment
L: Level of prior function
L: Lifestyle (social, recreational habits, general health i.e. smoker, etc)

You're welcome!

Select the BEST answer. The purpose of this blog is to:

1) help me study for the boards

2) help me remember asinine amounts of information

3) help others study for the boards

4) help others learn asinine amounts of information

A. (1 and 3)

B. ( 2 and 4)

C. (only 4)

D. (all of the above)

Hopefully you picked D, because that IS the best answer.  This blog was created as a warehouse of sorts to store all my homemade mnemonics (PG13 and lower).  Some are originals and some are borrowed. All are health/medical professions related and they all may not make sense to you (I have a special brain).  If you are a TWU DPT student, consider yourself a leprechaun. You just found a pot of gold! At some point, I'll organize them by course, but for now, I just need to get them all written down! I encourage others to share their own once I can figure out how to do that.
