Spinal Structures Lesson 4 Quiz

Posture is the only contributing factor in the causality of pain.

As people age, degeneration in the tissues in lumbar spine generally decline, whether they are symptomatic or asymptomatic.

Which of the following statements are true with regards to the general state of the population?

What occurs when spinal discs bulge:

What ‘often’ occurs in the adaptation phase, following an injury?

What would be examples of optimal rehabilitation techniques used to rehabilitate a lumbar disc?

What percentage of the studies (discussed in the video) that focused on ‘disc bulges specifically’, suggested that there is a direct correlation with a flat lumbar spine and disc bulges?

Representational Diversity is:

What are the main weakness of the scientific literature/consensus, which suggests there is no correlation between posture and lower back pain?

The majority of studies into motor control and pain, suggest what?

Which of the following do NOT play a role in the long-term recovery from lower back pain?

Which of the following DO play a role in the long-term recovery from lower back pain?

Non-specific low back pain means that there is no way of establishing what the cause (or causes) of the pain are?

There is a bi-directional relationship between mechanical and non-mechanical ‘non-specific low back pain?’

D.I.M. stands for ______ __ __.

Which of the following statements are true?

When a joint is stretched, it stimulates which mechanoreceptors?

When a joint is stretched to larger degree, it stimulates which mechanoreceptors?

Type 2 mechanoreceptors stimulate which type of muscle fibers?

When fast twitch muscle fibers are stimulated to stabilize a loose joint:

Which of the following statements are true?

When the Multifidus muscle atrophies, we tend to see the muscle is replaced by ___.

The Multifidus muscle naturally recovers after injury without any specific intervention

The number of muscle spindle cells is greater in a muscle closer to the joint.

Which of the following statements are correct?

When a predominantly tonic muscle is inhibited by pain, it will lead to a great loss of proprioception and motor control.

Ultimately, the way to reduce central sensitization, is to _______ _______.

Things such as poor nutritional choices, alteration of the gut microbiome and gut inflammation can lead to:

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) helps us to _____. Therefore, clients and patients need to be careful what they focus on when they are in pain.

The higher an individual’s _____________ load, the higher the central sensitization is likely to be.

Which factors below might require correction to reduce allostatic load and therefore central sensitization as part of a holistic approach:

What percentage of our everyday behaviours are subconscious?

Pain could be a mechanism where the subconscious mind makes the conscious mind aware that there are imbalances that need addressing.

Research suggests that those who look outside themselves for a solution to their pain are more likely to have a poor prognosis.

Pain that arises from pain or a lesion caused by pain or disease of the somatosensory nervous system is a definition of:

When pain persists after the injured tissues have healed is known as:

Nociplastic, chronic or persistent pain is likely to be due to:

A way to keep things simple to move forwards to help reduce physiological load and central sensitization is to use:
