I;m ******* tired of not knowing how to dx f/e! What is an alternative way to do this?
Put your finers between the spinous processes and see which way moves better.
What do they mean when they say that the dysfunction gets easier with flexion? What is the dx?
the side that was easier to translate is even easier. That means it is in flexion.
What are the main actions for the OA?
Flexion and extension- responsible for 50% of the f/e of the whole neck
What are the main actions for the AA?
rotation- responsible for 50% of the rotation of the whole neck
Does the OA joint sidebend or rotate first?
sidebend
in f/e of typical cervical vertebrae, is sidebend or rotate first?
rotation
what about in neutral?
sidebending first then rotation
where is sidebending and rotation in opposite directions?
In the OA joint. everywhere else it is the same.
What determines if sidebending or rotation happens first?
The shape of the facets. In f/e, there is increased friction between the facets which make rotation happen first.
is it easier to translate the neck in OA in flexion or extension?
extension (do it on yourself)
How do you pick the side of dysfunction?
Whichever side you can move to with ease.
If you can easily translate to the right (the cervical spine mves to the right), what does this mean for sidebending?
This means that you can easily sidebend left and this is the dysfunction.
What is the first method of dianosing OA?
Sidebend/ranslate each vertebrae and see which side has ease. The put them in flexion and see if this dysfuction becomes more or less prnounced.
What is the dysfuction if it becomes less prominent with flexion?
Flexion is the position of ease/dysfuction
What is the second method of dianosing OA?
See if the chin is in or out to check f/e
The palpate the transverse process of the atlas to see if it is toward the mandible or the mastoid to see which way it is rotated OR you stick your fingers undernead the OA and if there is more space under one then the occiput is rotated in that direction.
What is the first method of diagnosing typical cervicals?
You feel the articular pillars and rotate to see which direction is easier and then you try again in f/e.
What is the second method of diagnosing typical cervicals?
You sideband/translate the head to see which way is easier and then you try again in f/e.
If you flex someone's head and the dysfunction is exaggerated, then are they flexed or extended?
Flexed. That is the side where it is easier to move the dysfunction.
Preparing to do HVLA or muscle energy, which side do you put your MCP on as a fulcrum?
The side you push that feels easier.
How would you do HVLA on someone who can't relax?
Either distract them or do it during the refractory period of muscle energy.
How do you HVLA on a typical cervical?
Bend them to the side of dysfunction (finger it is easier to translate with) and rotate them in the opposite direction to the barrier. Quickly rotate them a bit further in that direction.
How do you do HVLA on a OA joint?
Take them to the corner with the most resistance and put your MCP on the side of the occiput that is more medial. Then do a thrust by bending the pt's head towards the middle.
If someone's dysfunction is in flexion, what position should you treat them in?
extension
If a patient is able to rotate their AA more to the right, what is the dx?
AA rotated right (AA is dx with rotation only)
What does a direct treatment do?
Takes a patient into their direction of restriction
What does an indirect treatment do?
Takes a patient into the position of ease.
If in the 4 corners diagnosis, the pt likes to be flexed in the right corner, what is the diagnosis?
flexed, sidebent left, rotated right (when you are translating to the right, the OA is being sidebent to the left)
When treating with cervical energy, do you have to use all planes of motion? Why or why not?
No you only have to bring them to their resistance and just move in one plane of motion because the planes are coupled and the other one will follow.
How would you treat a tenderpoint on the anterior C1 with counterstrain?
neutral: rotate to the opposite side
How would you treat a tenderpoint on the anterior C2-6 with counterstrain?
flexion: SARA
How would you treat a tenderpoint on the anterior C7 with counterstrain? Where would you even find this?
You would find AC7 on the lateral insertion of the SCM on the posterior clavicle.

Flexion: STRAW
How would you treat a tenderpoint on the posterior medial C1 with counterstrain? Where is this located?
This is on the inion.

Flexion (jaw to neck): SARA
How would you treat a tenderpoint on the posterior medial C2-C7 with counterstrain? Where is this located?
Located on either side of the spinous processes.

Extension: SARA
Which posterior medial cervicals need special treatment? What is this?
C4-C7 need to be treated for the vertebrae above them because the processes overlap at this point.
How would you treat a tenderpoint on any posterior lateral cervical with counterstrain? Where is this located?
Extension: SARA

It is between the inion and the mastoid for C1 and on the articular pillars for the rest.
Which are the only counterstrain techniques performed in flexion?
All of the anterior ones (except C1) and the C1 for posterior medial.
Which are the only counterstrain techniques with STRAW instead of SARA?
Anterior C7
Which are the only counterstrain techniques with rotation only?
Anterior C1
How do you diagnose AA rotation?
Flex the cervical spine to physiologically lock out C2-C7. Then rotate
Why are sidebending and rotation always paired?
because the articular pilars slant down this way
What make the arcuate forament in some people?
