|
What is the Sacrolumbar Curve? What are the possible movements?
|
- sacrum- fused, shock absorber, accepts forces from upper and lower body
movements: flexion, extension, hyperextension, no rotation or lateral flexion |
|
|
What is the Lumbar Curve? What are the possible movements?
|
5 vertebrae, female more strong and flexible than male
movements: flexion, extension, hyperextension, lateral flexion, NO rotation |
|
|
What is the Thoracic Curve? What are the possible movements?
|
12 vertebrae
movements: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation, NO hyperextension |
|
|
What is the cervical curve? What are the possible movements?
|
7 vertebrae
movements: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, hyperextension, rotation (all movements) |
|
|
What is Forward Head?
|
head thrust anteriorly
|
|
|
What is Cervical Lordosis?
|
increased anterior cervical curve, mastoid process falls behind line
|
|
|
What is Kyphosis?
|
increased thoracic curve
hunched, rounded choulders (when bending over, curve will still be prominent) |
|
|
What is lumbar lordosis?
|
increased lumbar curve, greater trochanter will fall behind the line
|
|
|
What is Flat Back?
|
decresed lumbar and thoracic curve, spinal curves will sppear uncharacteristically flat
|
|
|
What is Scoliosis?
|
-deviation of spine in frontal and transverse planes
-rotation, lateral flexion of vertebrae, usually toward concavity |
|
|
What are the differences in severity of scoliosis?
|
functional- soft structures
structural- bony change in spine |
|
|
What are the two types of scoliosis?
|
thoracic/lumbar- thoracic most common
"s" curve- 2 curves (most commonly one in thoracic |
|
|
How do you identify scoliosis?
|
"bend over" test
-check for "razer back" (rib cage sticks up higher -mark spinous processes |
|
|
What are the SEVEN theoretical risk factors for Scoliosis?
|
1) poor nutrition
2) delayed onset of puberty and associated growth spurt 3) general ligamentous laxity 4) flattened spinal curves 5) high intensity training during the growth spurt 6) asymmetrical training during the growth spurt 7) prolonged growth spurt |
