4. Naming SD

Question 1

Type 1

Answer 1

TONGO (type one; neutral; grouped; opposite)

In a neutral position (not flexed or extended), SB and R are oppsite and occurs in a group of vertebra

Question 2

Type 2

Answer 2

TTØSS (type 2, not neutral (flexed or extended), single vertebra, same side)

In flexion or extension, SB and R will occur in the same direction for in ONE vertebra.

Question 3

T1-3 N SRRL

and what is this telling us?

Answer 3

Pt has no change with flexion or extension

They prefer SB to the R (restricted to SB L)

They prefer Rotate to the L (restricted to Rotation to the R)

Question 4

Restricted to SB to the L: how do we name dx?

Answer 4

SB right = prefer to be SB R

T1-3 N SRRL

Question 5

Restricted to Rotation to the R = how do we name dx?

Answer 5

They prefer R to the L (restricted to R R)

T1-3 N SBRL

Question 6

If “symmetry is restored in flexion”, what is the SD?

Answer 6

Flexion

T8 F SRRR

Question 7

T8 F SRRR

Pt is restricted to ____ SB and ____ R in flexion/extension

Answer 7

Pt is restricted to left SB and left R in flexion

Question 8

If the R-TP translates easier to the left, that segment is sidebending to the ____ more freely (aka “sidebent ____”)

Answer 8

SB to the R more freely = SB R

Question 9

Right TP that does not like to rotate.

How would you describe this?

Answer 9

• RR = Rotated to the R
  
  1. Lives in R rotation
  2. R-PTP has a hard-end feel (does not like to rotate L)
  3. Restricted to rotation to the L

Question 10

If the R-TP springs easier, that segment is rotating ____ more freely (aka “______”)

Answer 10

Rotating L more freely

Rotated L

Question 11

Name SD: Freedom of right rotation & left sidebending

Answer 11

RRSL

Question 12

Name SD: Restricted to left rotation & right sidebending

Answer 12

RRSL

Question 13

Name the SD:

L PTP that Improves with extension

Answer 13

E RLSL
