Q

Which cervical dysfunction would present if the left Obliquus capitis infer muscle was tight?

A

this would presents right rotation restriction of C1. Isometric intrinsic treatment used would be to rotate the patient to the right while patient is looking left to contract the muscle.

Q

Why is rotation used as a patient effort during the isometric intrinsic treatment for FRS conditions?

A

The MOI insert above the segment involved and rotation occures top down

32
Q

SCM intrinsic

A

rotate to the same side, occular reflex to the opposite

33
Q

levator scap intrinsic

A

Depress the scapula, flex and side bend away. patient effort is to sidebend back

34
Q

Post. scalene intrinsic

A

flex lower cervical spine and side bend away. patient effort is to look back over same shoulder

57
Q

Cevical spin only assesses for _____ and _____Conditions

A

ERS, FRS

58
Q

ERS Assessment position:
Passive ROM assessment.

A

-Flex 30-45 degrees, do not tuck chin
-Palpate pressing on the articular pillars
-push right to left = side bending and rotating segment to the right; If restricted its an ERSlt (Lt facet won’t open)
-push left to right = side bending and rotation to the left; if restricted its an ERSrt (right facet won’t open)

59
Q

FRS assessment position:
Passive assessment

A
60

multifidi up to C2
MID scalene C2-C7
Post scalene origin C5-C7

Q

Mid scalene action

A

side bend same side C2-c7

Q

post scalene action

A

Extention/side bending to the same side
C5-C7

63
Q

FRS assessment:
Passive assessment

A

-extend each segment individually
-palpate articular pillars
- press to the right to try to side bend to the right and close the right facet; If you don’t get much motion or get more motion from the left = side bending restriction to the right or and FRSlt (right facet will not close)
- press the left side to try to side bend to the left and close the left facet; if you don’t get much motion or get more motion from the right = side bending restriction to the left or an FRSrt (left facet will not close)
- LOOKING FOR A FACET THAT WONT CLOSE
- the side your pushing on is the side you want to close
