Cervical Spine and TMJ Flashcards
Objectives
9: Differentiate among ROM, AAROM, AROM and FROM
11: Perform PROM on the trunk, UEs and Cspine
12: Measure functional, active, and passive ROM with a goniometer and accurately record
13: Discuss manual muscle testing principles
14: Recognize a variety of muscle strength scales used in PT
15: Demonstrate accurate technique for performing manual muscle tests
16: Interpret results from a manual muscle test
fyi
shaped like a horseshoe and it articulates with the temporal bone.
The mandible or mandibular bone
located between the body and the ramus, it is the joining point of these two landmarks
Angle
- the horizontal portion of the mandible,
- the superior surface holds on to the lower teeth.
Body
it is the posterior projection on the ramus and directly articulates with the temporal bone
Condyle
also called the condylar process
located on the interior side (inside) of the mandible near the midline and is the attachment of the geniohyoid muscle
Mental spine
just inferior to the condylar process.
Neck
located between the condyle and coronoid process on the ramus
Notch
the vertical portion of the mandible from the angle to the condyle
Ramus
located on the side of the skull posterior to the zygomatic bone and is inferior to the parietal bone, posterior to the greater wing of the sphenoid bone and anterior to the occipital bone
- Has both convex and concave joint articulations
The middle is concave and the anterior and posterior tubercles are convex
Temporal bone
- makes up the anterior portion of the articulating temporal bone
- it connects with the zygomtic process to make the bridge.
Articular tubercle
lies anteriolyr to the external auditory meatus and articulates with the condyle of the mandible
Articular fossa
aka, the mandibular fossa
a slender projection positioned downward and forward from the temporal bone on the inferior, slightly interior surface
Styloid process
bony prominence posterior and inferior to the ear
Mastoid process
the external opening to the ear, posterior to the TMJ
External auditory meatus
Makes up the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch
Zygomatic process
- this attaches on the neck of the mandible condyle and disk, and then runs speriorly to the articular tubercle of the temporal bone
- limits downward, posterior and lateral motions of the mandible
Lateral ligament or temporomandibular ligament
The ligament that attaches to the spine of the sphenoid bone and runs to the middle of the ramus on the internal surface of the mandible. I suspends the mandible and limits excessive anterior motion.
Sphenomandibular ligament
This ligament limits excessive anterior motion of the mandible.
Stylomandibular ligament
almost parallel to the digastric muscle. (k we don’t know what muscle that is but it runs parallel to it )
It attaches to the styloid process of the temporal bone and goes to the hyoid bone. helps hold the hyoid bone in place.
Stylohyoid ligament
envelops the TMJ
Joint capsule
similar to articular disks every where in the body. It is connected circumferentially to the capsule and tendon of the lateral pterygoid.
Articular disk
This joint will be tested as convex on concave when the lower jaw is moving.
What are the 5 motions ?
- Elevation of the mandible
- Depression of the mandible
- Deviation of the mandible
- Protrusion of the mandible
- Retrusion of the mandible
YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING MUSCLES AND THEIR OIAN’S
- Temporalis
- Masseter
- Medial/Lateral Pterygoids
dorsal -Curvatures of the spine
Please note, this is NOT arthrokinematic movement of the spine
- Cervical – Concave
- Thoracic – Convex
- Lumbar – Concave
- Sacral – Convex
