16
Q

Does motion happen about the same direction of axises in vertical strain?

A

Yes, both will tip backward or forward

17
Q

If your index fingers tip forward away from you, and pinky fingers tip back toward you, what type of strain?

A

Superior Strain
-named for base of sphenoid

Like pt is looking down

18
Q

If your index fingers tip backward toward you, and pinky fingers tip forward away from you, what type of strain?

A

Inferior Strain
-named for base of sphenoid

Like pt is looking up

19
Q

What type of axis(es) does a torsion strain have?

A

One sagittal axis, in an anterior-posterior plane

20
Q

Does motion in the sphenoid and occiput happen in the same direction during torsion strain?

A

No, different directions

One side will be higher, one side will be lower

21
Q

If your left pinky and index finger are higher than your right pinky and index finger, which torsion is it?

A

Left torsion

-named for the side that has the higher greater wing of sphenoid

22
Q

If your left pinky and index finger are lower than your right pinky and index finger, which torsion is it?

A

Right torsion

-named for the side that has the higher greater wing of sphenoid

23
Q

What type of axis(es) does a sidebending rotation strain have?

A

Three

One sagittal, and two vertical axises (superior-inferior)

24
Q

Does motion happen about the same direction of axises in sidebending rotation strain?

A

Motion IS in the same direction for sagittal plane
-greater wing and occiput come together or get farther apart

Motion IS NOT in the same direction for the vertical

25
Q

If your pinky and index finger on your right hand are spread farther apart compared to your left, which sidebending rotation torsion do you have?

A

Right

Named for the side that feels fuller

26
Q

Which type of torsion is due to significant trauma, depression, or anxiety, and has a sagittal axis that can mimic other strain patterns?

A

Compression Strain

Think about this when none of the others fit

27
Q

In SBS flexion, what is the direction of the sacrum called?

A

Counternutition

SBS connected to sacrum at posterior S2
-SBS it pulls upward, sacrum moves posterior

28
Q

In SBS extension, what is the direction of the sacrum called?

A

Nutition==towards the nuts

SBS connected to sacrum at posterior S2
-when SBS relaxes, allows sacrum to tip forward towards the nuts

29
Q

What axis does nutition and counternutition move the sacrum about?

A

Superior Transverse Axis

30
Q

Describe the type of trauma that would create a lateral strain?

A

Hit from the side, either anterior to or posterior to SBS

31
Q

So if you were hit from the right side anterior to SBS, which lateral strain would you have?

A

Left Lateral

-would move base of sphenoid to left

32
Q

So if you were hit from the right side posterior to SBS, which lateral strain would you have?

A

Right lateral

-would move occiput to the left in relation to the sphenoid base=Sphenoid base to the right

33
Q

Describe the type of trauma that would create a vertical strain?

A

Hit from the top or bottom, either in from of or behind the SBS

34
Q

So if you were hit from the top anterior to SBS, which vertical strain would you have?

A

Inferior Strain

-vice versa if you were hit posterior to SBS on top=SUP

35
Q

So if you were hit from the bottom anterior to SBS, which vertical strain would you have?

A

Superior Strain

-vice versa if you were hit posterior to SBS on bottom=INF

36
Q

What type of blow would cause a torsion strain?

A

A glancing blow, either in front of or posterior to the SBS

-strikes it from the side and at a diagonal angle

37
Q

Where is the blow to the head that would cause a sidebending rotation strain?

A

Directly at the SBS

38
Q

If you were hit directly on the right SBS, which sidebending rotational strain would you have?

A

Left Sidebending rotation strain

-Right side will come together, left side will feel “more full”
