PRC PRC Muscle Imbalance & Pattern Recognition 2

Question 1

Which test is used in PRI to assess Left AIC pattern resolution?

Accepted Answer

90/90 hip lift test

Answer

The 90/90 hip lift test evaluates the patient's ability to achieve a neutral pelvic position with left hamstring activation, serving as a key marker of Left AIC pattern resolution.

Question 2

Inhibition of which muscle is a primary goal when addressing the Right BC pattern in PRI treatment?

Accepted Answer

Right pectoralis minor

Answer

Inhibiting the right pectoralis minor reduces the forward shoulder pull that drives the Right BC pattern, allowing restoration of right thoracic rotation.

Question 3

In PRI pattern recognition, bilateral patterns such as PEC are generally considered:

Accepted Answer

More complex and harder to resolve than unilateral patterns

Answer

Bilateral PRI patterns like PEC are generally more complex, involving both sides of the body and requiring more comprehensive treatment to restore normal alternating function.

Question 4

The Right AF ER (Acetabular Femoral External Rotation) finding in PRI indicates:

Accepted Answer

The right femur is positioned in relative external rotation within the acetabulum

Answer

Right AF ER describes the right femur being positioned in relative external rotation within the acetabulum, a common finding in the typical Left AIC asymmetrical pattern.

Question 5

Which finding on a forward bending test would suggest a Right-on-Right sacral torsion in PRI assessment?

Accepted Answer

Left lumbar convexity with right sacral base elevation

Answer

A Right-on-Right sacral torsion presents with a left lumbar convexity and right sacral base elevation on forward bending, reflecting the sacrum rotating on the right oblique axis.
