head resting in the open position prior to pt lying down.

what has to be ensured before using cervical traction?

pt needs a call bell and panic control

Back 16

supine, neck flexion of 20-30*.

Back 17

what is the pt positioning for cervical traction?

pull placed on occiput , not the chin.

what are the safety measures to use when using traction?

Front 20

vertebral artery tests, alar ligament test, sharp purser test

Back 20

what tests are applied before using cervical traction?

Front 21

used to check vertebral artery blood flow to see if there is any blood reduction that may result in a transient ascetic attack (stroke)

Back 21

what is the vertebral artery test?

Front 22

ext, sidebending, and rotation of the neck

Back 22

what is the classic vertebral artery test?

Front 23

ext or bilateral occlusion

Back 23

what is the full backward bending vertebral artery test?

Front 24

rotation of the neck in short sitting

Back 24

what is the acted australian protocol vertebral artery test?

Front 25

while palpating the SP of C2 the head is passively moved side to side. if this ligament is intact , movement of the SP of axis should be detected with palpating fingers

Back 25

what is the alar ligament test?

Front 26

the therapist uses two fingers to make contact with TP of C2 on each side of the SP. the oher hand contacts the pts forehead or cradles the entire head for stability . the test is performed by having the pt perform active FB. the therapist then pushes C2 anteriorly. A disruption of the cruciate ligament will produce a clunk sound, or a perceived back glide of axis on atlas.

Back 26

what is the sharp -purcer test for cervical traction?

Back 27

what are the different types of E-stim?

Back 28

what is TENS?

Front 29

reaches deeper tissues because of the higher frequency and shorter pulse with. quadripolar

Back 29

what is IFC?

Front 30

delivery of the current is regulated through the machine and is bi polar

Back 30

what is premod?

Front 31

muscle strengthening for healthy individuals
