(Magee 2014) Which special test is most helpful in determining if lumbar mechanical traction is an appropriate intervention? - ✓✓✓Crossed straight leg raise test Reason: Fritz et al discussed a subgroup of patients who were most likely to benefit from mechanical lumbar traction. In this subgroup were patients who had a positive crossed straight leg raise test, so utilizing this test is suitable in determining if traction is appropriate. (Fritz 2007) Which clinical findings support lumbar mechanical traction is an appropriate intervention? - ✓✓✓peripheralization in both directions (ls flexion and extension) and neurological findings mechanical lumbar traction: what parameters are most appropriate? - ✓✓✓40-60% of body weight for a maximum of 12 minutes Reason: These were the exact parameters prescribed by Fritz et al in their study on the traction subgroup of the treatment based classification.

(Logerstedt 2 2010) ruling in a posterior cruciate ligament tear - ✓✓✓Reason: The posterior drawer test has a specificity of 99% as discussed by Logerstedt et al in the clinical practice guidelines for ligament sprains from the orthopaedic section of the APTA.

(Powell 2008) What intervention is often deferred in patients who are highly irritable? - ✓✓✓euromuscular re-education exercises Reason: Neuromuscular re-education is often only incorporated in those who exhibit moderate and low irritability, as those who are highly irritable may have significant difficulty with the types of interventions used for neuromuscular re-education. It is better to wait until a patient is less irritable before integrating this into the plan of care (Kelley 2013). pain as 5/10 on average throughout the day...what level of irritability does this patient fall into? - ✓✓✓Moderate irritability Reason: This patient's pain of 5/10 falls into the average level of moderate pain (4-6/10) as discussed by Kelley et al, so this patient would be moderately irritable.
