what test is this?
PT seated extend, Rotate, sidebend head to one side. If pain is elicited down ipsilateral arm = positive. |
Spurling test
|
|
What is this test?
PT supine Extend and rotate pt. head Positive test if PT is dizzy, nausea, lightheadedness present |
Undenburg test
|
|
what are the 3 spinal ranges of motion?
|
Mesomorphic - midrange
Ectomorphic - (long linear) hi range Endomorphic - (brevilinear) lo range |
|
explain regional motion testing
|
tests patient's ability to move through cardinal axes of motion and reflects ability to move with pain, strain, sprain, degenerative joint disease, muscle tension, inflammation
|
|
explain the static spinal testing
|
testing gives clues of motion patterns to expect on intersegmental motion testing
|
|
how many degrees is normal forward and backward bending of c-spine?
|
45 to 90 degrees
|
|
how many degrees is normal side bending in c-spine?
|
45-90 degrees
|
|
what joint are you palpating during motion testing of the c-spine? why?
|
C7-T1
palpate and monitor to ensure the movement is localized to the C-spine |
|
what is normal cervical spine rotation in degrees?
|
70-90 degrees
|
|
what is a saggital plane somatic dysfunction (SD)?
|
FB or BB dysfunction
|
|
what is a multiplane dysfunction for OA?
|
Rotation
Sideslippage (sidebending) FB or BB |
|
Where are the condyles on an OA saggital plane SD?
|
FB SD (Flexion SD)
condyles moved posterior in relation to C1 pt looks like chin is tucked BB SD (extension SD) condyles are anterior w/ respect to C1 pt looks like chin is sticking out |
|
in the OA joint, if the PT is F Rr, what is the Sidebending (SB) component?
|
Sidebent Left
(SL) |
|
what compensates for OA asymmetries?
|
activation of sub-occipital mm.
|
|
in the static palpation you find the PT has a Tenderpoint (TP) closer to the mastoid on the L, and a deep occipital shelf on the R. What does this mean for vertebrae? what should the other findings be?
|
TP close to mandible - R
Shallow occipital shelf - L SlRr |
|
PT has TP closer to mastoid on R and deep occipital shelf on L. What does this mean for her vertebrae? other findings?
|
SrRl
TP closest to Mandible - L Shallow occipital shelf - R |
|
when palpating for SD of the AA, what do you notice about the transverse process of the atlas?
|
Transverse process of atlas is more posterior on side of Rotation (closer to mastoid process)
|
|
What are the typical Cervical vertebrae? what is the notation for SD?
|
C2-7
F/E SxRx |
