Inversion - L4 Hallux extension - L5 Plantar flexion - S1-2 |
|
|
Name the nerve root, muscle/s and peripheral nerve/s for Hip Flexion? |
Nerve root - (L1) L2-3 Muscles - Illiopsoas, Sartorius Peripheral Nerves - Femoral |
|
|
17. Evaluate the Femoral Nerve (L2-L4)/ M, D, R & NTT |
M- hip flexion M - knee extension D - Ant thigh & Medial Leg R - Patella reflex NNT - Femoral nerve stretch test???? (check this) |

|
24. Using correct technique evaluate the L4 and S1 muscle stretch reflexes? |
L4 - Patella reflex (sitting) S1 - Achilles reflex (sitting or kneeling) |
|
|
25. Perform an examination if you consider a Disc Lesion Compressing the L4 Nerve root is a possible problem? |
1) Reverse Lasegue (Femoral Nerve stretch)Test may be positive, 2) Sciatic Nerve Tension Test (SLR, Deyerleand May’s, Slump), 3) L4 - Patellar Reflex, may be decreased
- Sensation on the medial leg may bedecreased, - Weakness of inversion may be present, - Observe for atrophy, - Valsalva and Slump Tests may be positive.
|
|
|
26. Perform an examination if you consider a Disc Lesion Compressing the L5 Nerve Root is possible?
|
1) Straight leg raise, sitting straight legraise, and Deyerle and May's Sciatic Tension Tests may be positive. 2) Sensation on the lateral leg and dorsum of the foot may be decreased.
- Weakness of hallux extension may bepresent, - Observe for atrophy - Valsalva and Slump Tests may be positive.
|
|
|
27. Perform an examination if you consider a DiscLesion Compressing S1 Nerve Root is possible?
|
1) Straight leg raise, sitting straight legraise, and Deyerle and May's Sciatic Tension Tests may be positive. 2) Achilles’ Reflex, may be decreased, - Sensation on the sole of the foot and posterior calf may be decreased, - Weakness of plantar flexion may be present, Observe for atrophy - Valsalva and Slump Tests may be positive.
