Q

how do we fully glide the R condyle posterior –> AA

A

flexion (move them posteriorly)

right rotation (right occipital condyle slides right)

SB to the left (type 1 mechanics)

19
Q

flexion –> head movement

A

posterior capsule gets stretched and checks this motion

tight posterior capsule will stops condyle

rotation would be opposite the dysfxnal site

20
Q

extension –> head movement

A

anterior capsule stretches and checks this motion

tight anterior capsule stops condyle

rotation would be towards the dysfxnal site

21
Q

AA joint is…

A

biconvex

22
Q

C2 on C3-7 on T1

A

actually down to T3

interbody joints

facet joints oblique coronal plane

only type 2 mechanics

23
Q

interbody joints –> C2 on C3-7 on T1

A

intervertebral disc

pairs unconvertable of von lushka

24
Q

only type 2 mechanics –> C2 on C3-7 on T1

A

rotation and SB always coupled to same side

25
Q

degenerative process includes

A

dysfxn

hypermobile

stabilization

26
Q

dysfxn age

A

age 15-45

27
Q

is dysfxn reversible

A

yes

28
Q

dysfxn is a

A

minor pathology

29
Q

dysfxn includes

A

disc

annular tears

facets

cervical discs

30
Q

disc –> dysfxn

A

abnormal fxn

posterior WBing

31
Q

facets –> dysfxn

A

synovitis

joint effusion

eventually stretches capsule

32
Q

cervical discs may be.. –> dysfxn

A

less symptomatic than lumbar

nucleus pulpous has more collagen and fibrous tissue/horizontal fissuring

33
Q

nucleus pulpous has more collagen and fibrous tissue/horizontal fissuring –> dysfxn

A

uncovertebral and facet orientation

34
Q

uncovertebral and facet orientation –> dysfxn

A

tectorial membrane

posterior longitudinal ligament

35
Q

tectorial membrane –> dysfxn

A

thicker/stronger in the C/S and narrower in the L/S

leaving posterolateral disc vulnerable

36
Q

what does cervical have –> dysfxn

A

more degenerative changes

less herniated discs

37
Q

hypermobile age

A

35-70

38
Q

stabilization age

A

> 60

39
Q

what does stabilization include

A

bone formation

stenosis

40
Q

bone formation –> stabilization

A

subperiosteal

along ligaments and capsule

traction spurs and osteophytes

41
Q

what happens if you have hypermobility of a joint

A

not uncommon to have hypomobility above and below

42
Q

in lumbar spine…

A

damage/stretching occurs b/c of lack of attenuation

BW forces coming down and comping up –> compress the disc

43
Q

causes of degeneration

A

normal tissue biomechanics

abnormal tissue biomechanics

posture

fxn

facet health

NM

44
Q

normal biomechanics –> degeneration

A

abnormal forces

45
Q

abnormal tissue mechanics –> degeneration

A

abnormal and normal forces

46
Q

posture –> degeneration

A

prolonged positioning

47
Q

fxn –> degeneration

A

excessive motion

mal adaptive motion

48
Q

facet health –> degeneration

A

hyper and hypomobile

49
Q

NM –> degeneration

A

motor fxn
