what is the hand placement for the parietal lift handhold?
|
index fingers-> anteroinferior angles
middle fingers --> above the base of the temporal zygomatic processes ring fingers--> on the parietomastoid angles thumbs are crossed above the sagittal suture touching the opposite parietal bone |
|
|
what must you insure for the parietal lift handhold?
|
all the fingers are touching the parietal bones exclusively
|
|
|
what is the goal of the parietal lift?
|
To lift the parietal bones and release the sutural restrictions along the temporals and improve venous drainage
|
|
|
what two dysfunctions is the parietal lift useful for?
|
insomnia and HTN
|
|
|
what is the 1st phase of the parietal lift? what do you do?
|
disengegment:
w/ slight medial compression, fingers move medially to free the parietal from the greater wing of the sphenoid and the temporal squama. |
|
|
in the 1st phase of the parietal lift, what internal rotation is exaggerated?
|
parietal bones
|
|
|
what is the 2nd phase of the parietal lift? what do you do?
|
external rotation
lift the parietals "out of the bind" into external rotation and find membranous balance (internal and external rotation) to enhance venous drainage. |
|
|
where are the thumbs located in the parietal lift?
|
just posterior to bregma
|
|
|
when do you stop doing phase 2 of the parietal lift?
|
until a release is perceived
|
|
|
what is the 3rd phase of the parietal lift? what do you do?
|
re-engagement
once the release is perceived gently replace the parietals. Position and motion is then reassessed. |
|
|
what is the handhold position for the frontal lift 1?
|
ring fingers are placed on the lateral angles of the frontal bone with the index middle fingers resting on the frontal bone.
|
|
|
what is the first step of the frontal lift 1?
|
compress medially w/ a gental even force to disengage the frontals from the sphenoid and parietals.
|
|
|
what is step 2 of the frontal lift 1?
|
using all contact fingers gently lift the frontals as a whole anteriorly (towards the ceiling). Find balance (in superior /inferior)
|
|
|
what does the frontal lift release?
|
falx cerebri
|
|
|
when do you replace the frontal bone in the frontal lift 1?
|
after a release is obtained
