Video Program III
SPINE & PARASPINAL MUSCULOSKELETAL
 SCREENING EXAM
(Running time approximately 60 minutes)

DESCRIPTION

This full hour long instructional video program demonstrates how to perform a screening examination of the Spine & Paraspinal System (PNS) to rule out presumptive lesions of the axial skeleton and associated tissues.
 
This interactive teaching video covers how to:
  1. Perform the visual inspection exam
  2. Palpate the Cervical and Lumbar spine and related paraspinal tissues
  3. Perform Range of Motion of the Cervical and Lumbar spine (active, passive, resistive maneuvers)
  4. DDx sprain v. strain
  5. Perform the orthopedic exam including orthopedic testing (provocative maneuvers)
  6. DDx facet syndrome, discopathy, radiculopathy, Myofascial Pain Syndrome
  7. Perform peripheral vascular exam
  8. Evaluate for Non-organic physical signs (Waddell’s Signs)
  9. Charting & Documentation
This video program features clear, step-by-step demonstrations, in the clinical setting, of examination procedures specifically designed to develop the required clinical skills necessary to evaluate patients with presumptive spine and paraspinal lesions confidently. This video program will be a valuable aid in assisting clinicians who are looking for a clear and concise vehicle to review and upgrade their musculoskeletal exam procedures.
 
Health care students, regardless of their field of study, have found this video to be an indispensable tool when studying for board examinations.
