Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Cervical flexion deformity(chin on chest deformity) is a complication of severe ankylosing spondylitis. This fixed posture of the cervical spine can cause significant difficulties with hygiene, nutrition, and forward gaze. Patients experience inability to open their mouth wide enough to maintain adequate nutrition, hygiene problems such as skin ulcers on the chin or chest, and problems with forward gaze leading to difficulties with ambulation. Psychosocial aspects of this deformity are also considerable. Surgical intervention includes posterior C[ cervical] 7–T[ thoracic] 1 extension osteotomy/fusion with sterile midprocedure halo placement. This procedure involves significant manipulation of the cervical spine, with possible catastrophic consequences.  2, fiche 7, Anglais, - cervical%20flexion%20deformity

A test done during [a] physical examination to determine whether a patient with low back pain has an underlying herniated disk, often located at L5 (fifth lumbar spinal nerve).  11, fiche 8, Anglais, - straight%2Dleg%20raise%20test

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 CONT

When performing the straight leg raise test the patient is positioned supine in the absence of pillows. The clinician lifts the patient's symptomatic leg by the posterior ankle while keeping the knee in a fully extended position. The clinician continues to lift the patient's leg by flexing at the hip until pain is illicited or end range is reached. Neurologic pain which is reproduced in the leg and low back between 30-70 degrees of hip flexion is a positive result of lumbar disc herniation at the L4-S1 nerve roots. In order to make this test more specific, the ankle can be dorsiflexed and the cervical spine flexed. This increases the stretching of the nerve root and dura.  2, fiche 8, Anglais, - straight%2Dleg%20raise%20test
