Front 1

What is the Diagnostic criteria for a somatic dysfunction?

Back 1

T.A.R.T.- Tissue Texture Change, Asymmetry, Restriction and Tenderness

Front 2

Define Physiologic, Anatomic and Restrictive Barriers

Back 2

Physiologic - patients active movement

Anatomic - patients passive movement

Restrictive - patients movement before the physiologic barrier

Front 3

In Fryettes type 2 is sidebending first or rotation?

Back 3

Rotation. i.e. T7FRxSx

In type 1 Sidebending is named first i.e. T 7-10 N Sx Rx

*Remember in type 1 sidebending and rotation occur in opposite directions, where as in type 2 they occur in the same direction

Front 4

Let's say you examine a patient and you feel more posterior motion on the transverse process under your right thumb and it gets worse in Flexion. how would you name it using Fryettes principles?

Back 4

T7 E Rr Sr

Remember we name things for Somatic Dysfunction or position of ease. Therefore it gets better in Extension and you feel fullness under the right it is named in that direction.

Front 5

What are the 3 planes of motion?

Back 5

Sagittal motion - (Ant/Post) Flexion and Extension
Coronal Motion - (Frontal) Sidebending
Transverse motion (Horizontal) Rotation

Front 6

What is ment by the acronym BUM, BUL and NM

Back 6

BUM refers to cervical region for backward, upward and lateral
BUL refers to thoracic region for backward, upward and lateral
BM is for Lumbar region fro Backward and medial

This for the the SUPERIOR FACET!

Front 7

What is the proper sequence of treatment?

Back 7

Treat centrally first then move out peripherally.

**exceptions** You can do cranial first to relax or work on peripheral in very acute SD

Front 8

What is Facilitated Positional Release?

Back 8

body part is placed into position that is neutral in all three planes, then a "activating force" is applied, then move body further away from barrier and held for 3-4 seconds

Front 9

Do you use muscle energy for Post Op or ICU patients?

Back 9

No!
