An athlete used poor form doing dead lifts and this results in low back pain. He comes to see you for an eval. He complains of 4 out of 10 low back pain on the right side. You do a neuro screen for dermatome, myotomes, DTRS and Babinski are these are all clear. For your differential diagnosis you think he may have either: 1. right erector spinae strain 2. right latissimus strain 3. right lumbar facet synovitis from L1-L5. Write out objective exam findings that you believe would be present for each one of these if it was indeed the problem. Be specific in your descriptions. (7 points. These means each item above needs at least 2 findings…….)
