|
what are the functions of the cranial membranes?
* |
1. structural integrity during development
2. division of hemispheres and cerebellum 3. shock absorption/stress transmission (limits cranial mobility) 4. transmission and reabsorption of CSF 5. drainage from venous sinuses |
|
|
How would you treat membrane strain in the falx cerebri (decrease in ant/post amplitude)
* |
frontal lift
parietal lift SBS compression-decompression balanced memb. tension |
|
|
How would you treat restrictions in the myodural bridge (venous sinuses)?
* |
suboccipital inhibition
cervical stretching counterstrain MFR ME articulatory HVLA |
|
|
What makes up the 3 sickles?
|
falx cerebri
falx cerebelli tentorium cerebelli |
|
|
What are the 5 components of the primary respiratory mechanism?
|
1. motility of brain and spinal cord
2. fluctuation of CSF 3. mobility of intracranial and intraspinal membranes 4. mobility of cranial bones 5. involuntary mobility of sacrum |
|
|
Describe membrane motion during cranial FLEXION
|
falx cerebri shortens from FRONT-->BACK; lowers
tentorium cerebelli moves ANT; flattens |
|
|
Describe membrane motion during cranial EXTENSION
|
falx cerebri shortens from BACK-->FRONT; rises
tentorium cerebelli moves POST; expands |
|
|
in the reciprocal tension membrane system, where does motion occur?
|
around the straight sinus (Sutherland's fulcrum)
|
|
|
How would you treat restriction in CSF?
|
compression of 4th ventricle
|
|
|
What is happening at the "still point"?
|
CRI is stopped by gentle compressive/restrictive pressure; period of rest followed by more motion w/ more symmetry
|
