Q

Explain the basis (not componenets) of primary respiratory mechanism (PRM)

A

Primary: cranial motion is the “funtamental process of life”

Respiratory: cranial motion has flow motion like breath “of life”

Mechanism: pattern of tissue and fluid movement with a distinct purpose

Q

What are the five components of PRM?

A
  1. Inherent mobility (passive) of brain and SC
  2. Fluctuation of cerebral spinal fluid
  3. Mobility of intracranial and intraspinal membranes
  4. Articulatory mobility of cranial bones
  5. Involuntary (passive) mobility of sacrum b/t ilia

Q

What is the driving push in CSF and how many times is CSF cycled through?

A

Cranial Rhythmic Impulse is the driving force that moves CSF through 10-14 cycles/minute

Q

What are the motion chracracteristics of the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse? R-RADS

A

Rate: 10-14 BPM

Rhythm: regular, but can have variation
Amplitude: SD may diminish

Q

What is the intracranial and intraspinal membranes and what do they come together to create?

A

Intracranial membranes are the falx cerebri and the tentorium cerebelli that make the “Sutherland Fulcrum”

Q

Describe the Reciprocal Tension Membrane?

A

The meninges and spinal cord make a link from cranium that correlates with movement in the sacrum
-the “core link”

Q

What do the tentorium and falx come together to create?

A

the reciprical tension membrane, which allows for constant tension and acts like a spring to store energy

Q

Why is the straight sinus, or sutherland fulcrum, said to be a suspended automatic shifting fulcrum?

A

Suspended: pivot point of fulcrum remains within RTM created by falx and tentorium

Automatic: passive motion

Shifting: straight sinus moves up and down

Q

What is the name of the synchondrosis between the sphenoid bone and clivus of the occipital lobe?

A
Sphenobasilar Synchondrosis (SBS)
-relatively rigid hyaline cartilagenous junction like the ones at the sternomanubrial joints

Inferior

31
Q

Which way does occipital squama move move during extension of the SBS?

A

Superior and anterior

32
Q

Which way does the greater wing of the sphenoid move during flexion of the SBS?

A

Anterior and inferior

33
Q

Where does the dural attachment from the foramen magnum attach to the sacrum?

A

Disc of S2

34
Q

Which axis involves motion of the sacrum with repiration?

A

Superior Transverse

35
Q

What axis involves motion of the sacrum that changes with posture?

A

Middle Transverse

36
Q

What axis of the sacrum involves movement of the ilia on the sacrum

A

Inferior Transverse

-S3

37
Q

Nutation correlates with what SBS motion

A

SBS Extension

  • base moves anterior
  • Apex moves posterior
38
Q

Counternutation correlates with with what SBS motion?

A

SBS flexion

  • Base moves posterior
  • Apex moves anterior
39
Q

What is the current view as to what is causing the fluctuations of the CSF?

A

Glial cells may contribute and the brain could be capable to inherent motion on its own.
