CERVICAL Flashcards
Describe your assessment outcomes if longus colli was tight and causing FRS dysfunction?
you would find FRS c2-c7, acrom would show extension and rotation restriction
Longus capitis is tight on the left which dysfunction might this create
FRSlt
which land marks are palpated while assessing C1?
TPs
Splenius capitis is hypertonic on the left. which dysfunction may be present
ERS lt
RCP minor and OCS are tight on the left. Which assessment outcome would be found?
right side bending restriction of CO from flexed position.
C1 is assessed with the lower cervical in which position?
Flexed
Which cervical dysfunction would present if the left Obliquus capitis infer muscle was tight?
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.
C5 is extended and you feel restriction in the left side bending. which dysfunction is present?
FRS rt
ERS and FRS are which type of dysfunction?
Non-Neutral/type 2
The multifidus originating on the right TP of C7 is tight. which dysfuntion may this cause?
FRSlt of C7 and ERSrt of C3-C6
C2-C7 are classified as the lower cervical because….
we assess all of these segments in the same way
Why is rotation used as a patient effort during the isometric intrinsic treatment for FRS conditions?
The MOI insert above the segment involved and rotation occures top down
lower cervical is flexed. you palpate restriction when pushing on the right articular pillar of C6. which dysfunction is present?
ERSlt
Name the dysfunction caused be tightness of the obliquus capitis superior, rectus capitis posterior major and rectus capitis posterior minor. Describe the assessment out come that would indicate this
ERSlt the patient would have a right rotation restriction and FRSlt
LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER
The assessment outcomes associated to tightness f the longus Colli is
FRS of the Lower cervical
When assessing CO, what position is the lower cervical in?
Neutral
you prescribe a passive stretch for your clients tight right multifidi. what position are they holding during this exercise?
right rotation
Which conditions are assessed at CO?
ERS/FRS
The left multifidi inserting on the SP of C2 are hypertonic. which dysfunctions might these cause?
ERS lt of C2 and FRSrt of C3-C6
The right SCM is tight. what position might the clients head be in during postural assessment?
Flexed and left rotated
VBI test is positive. what is the correct protocol for the therapist to follow?
Maintain the clients neck and head in neutral for the duration of the assessment and treatment
adheasion in the left OCI and RCP major could cause……
Right rotation restriction of C1, FRSrt of C2, extension restriction of the left facet joint between c2 and C3
C1 rotation restriction to the left. what are the MOI
Right OCI and RCP major
CO is flexed and you note a restriction in the right side bending. which dysfunction is presenting?
ERSlt
Type 1 neutral dysfunctions present with….
sidebending and rotation to the opposite sides
Which screening test may be positive if the middle scalene is adaptively shortened? what other tests would you perform to verify this?
TOS, Travels, Acrom.
Restricted side bend, ERS or FRS
MORE DETAIL
A congenital condition involving contracture of the SCM muscle is known as
Torticollis
Which screening test may be positive due to hypertonicity of the Right ant. scalene? how would you verify that the muscle is hypertonic?
TOS test might be positive, (WHICH ONE) patient would have restricted side bending, ERSrt c2-27
