A physical therapist is evaluating a patient with low back pain. The therapist would like to use a classification system to guide the examination and intervention components. The therapist decides to utilize an examination approach that involves direction-specific, repeated lumbar spine movements, and sustained posture evaluation. Which of the following classification systems in the therapist MOST likely utilizing in this examination?

A physical therapist is working with a patient with low back pain, insidious onset. The patient demonstrates mild limitations in lumbar flexion and extension ROM, as well as mild hypomobility of the lumbar spine with P-A accessory motion testing. The lower extremity MMTs are all 5/5. During the examination, the physical therapist is unable to elicit/provoke the patient’s symptoms. Special testing is (-). Which of the following is the BEST choice for patient management?
A patient presents to PT for evaluation of low back pain. D…
A patient presents to PT for evaluation of low back pain. During the examination, the therapist notes that lumbar extension relieves the patient’s symptoms. Which of the following is the MOST probable cause of the low back pain?

A physical therapist is evaluating patient that reports acute low back pain of sudden onset with progressive weakness of both legs. SLR is positive on one side at 30 degrees and the slump test is positive on the opposite side. Which of the following is the BEST choice for your next step in the patient examination?
