Q

atypical joints

A

OA and AA

Q

typical joints

A

C2 on C3
to
C7 on T1

Q

motion at OA

A

flexion-extension - MAJOR

rotation- sidebending - MINOR

Q

rotation and sidebending in OA

A

opposite**

bc of anterior convergence of condyles

motions where somatic dysfunction are found

Q

occipital condyles

A

anterior and inferior convergence of occipital condyles

hand cups

Q

motion at AA

A

C1 on C2

major - rotation

minor - flex, extend, sidebend

Q

AA joint rotation

A

50% of all C-spine rotation

Q

to get ride of rest of rotation

A

flex C-spine up to C1

-locks out uncinate proceses

Q

joints of luschka

A

uncinate processes

-small lips on superior surfaces of vertebral bodies

Q

typical C-spine joints

A

rotation and sidebending- SAME SIDE

somatic dysfunction- all three planes

Q

open facet

A

irritate tissues and can produce speed bumps

Q

inducing flexion

A

slightly superior

Q

inducing extension

A

slightly inferior

Q

suboccipital muscles

A

occiput to C1 and C2

Q

trapezius

A

extension of OA joint

Q

SCM

A

lateral flexion of OA joint

Q

scalene muscles

A

attach C3-7 to ribs 1 and 2

Q

paraspinal muscles

A

attach occiput and C-spine to thorax

Q

levator scapulae

A

transverse processes C1-4

-insert superior angle of scapula

Q

to protect neurovascular

A

stay posterior to SCM
