The c-spine functions as type _ mechanics
II
What are the differentiating tests?
sustained movements
combined movements
compression
distraction
This movement may produce referred symptoms
a. combined movements
b. sustained movements
c. distraction
d. compression
sustained movements
What are the combined movements for differentiating tests?
upper quadrant
lower quadrant
Combined movement testing can be done if
all physiological movement testing is clear
This differentiating test is done with the patient seated, pt goes into ext of upper c-spine and maintains then adds rotation toward painful side then SB
upper quadrant
This differentiating test is with the patient seated, have them tilt their head back into full extension, SB to painful side, then rotate
lower quadrant
This test is done by compressing the top of the head down for 30 seconds
compression
This test is done by distracting the head via the mastoid process and holding it for 30 seconds
distraction
What neurological testing needs to be done for clearance?
dermatomes
myotomes
reflexes
