Chiropractic practices Flashcards
when we talk about torque what do you think of
gonstead
where do we have axial plane facets and TPs
horizontal
upper cervicals
where do we have coronal plane facets and TPs
lower cervicals, thoracics
where do facets of the spine become sagittal
T12
what is facet tropism
1 sagittal facet + 1 coronal facet
diversified line of drive (LOD)
Posterior to anterior - PA
Lateral to medial - LM
Inferior to superior - IS
except for C1 which is SI
gonstead line of drive (LOD)
Posterior to anterior Lateral to medial Medial to lateral Inferior to superior Superior to inferior Clockwise Counterclockwise
when does gonstead use medial to lateral line of drive
mammillary process in lumbar spine only***
gonstead line of drive is always __
what about if we are talking about IS and SI LOD
perpendicular to the curve of the spine
above C3 - IS *C3- PA below C3- SI *T6 - PA blow T6 - IS *L3 - PA below L3 - SI
what are static listings
fixation, malposition, subluxation
where body or SP is stuck
you can cross them off when you see them - body is malpositioned to the right - body is to the right
what are motion listings
diminished
decreased
restrictred
where body or SP can not go
describe disc wedge or lateral bending listings
right superior TP/body and left inferior TP/body
always stand on side of convexity
need TORQUE LOD to fix
TORQUE all about lateral bending and disc wedging
describe rotation listings
DO NOT TORQUE ROTATION LISTINGS
PR - spinous right
BL - body left
all of gonstead listings start with what
P
except atlas then its A
what is the listing formula
- level base
- lateral flexion
STOP - stand on open wedge side - rotation - motion/static
- circle what they asked
Line of drive also can be said as
line of correction
open wedge is also up or down on side posture
up
T6 has decreased right rotation and anterior right TP
PR and BL
decreased right rotation and fixed to the left
PR and BL
decreased right sp rotation and malpositioned body to the right

contracted mulifidi on the left
PL and BR
increased left body rotation and decreased right body rotation

hypo mobility to the left and sp has decreased rotation to the right
PL and BR
static malposition of SP right and right TP is limited from AP
PR and BL
concavity on the left
which type of scoliosis is this
right scoliosis
contracted intertransverssari on the left and patient is lying with right side up
left lateral flexion
open wedge on right
taut inter transverse ligament on the left
right lateral flexion
open wedge on left
lax annular fibers on the left
left lateral flexion
open wedge right
superior right TP and body lean left
left lateral flexion
open wedge right
decreased right lateral bending and sublimated laterally bending to the left
left lateral flexion
open wedge right
stacking on the left
right lateral flexion
open wedge left
counter clockwise torque and left stabilization hand
right lateral flexion
open wedge left
right towering
right lateral flexion
open wedge left
right segmental scoliosis and apical vertebrae on the right
left lateral flexion
open body right
stacking occurs on which side of scoliosis or lateral flexion
convexity
towering occurs on which side of the scoliosis and lateral flexion
concavity
what is the segmental contact for a sp right and scoliosis/left lateral flexion
diversified and gonstead
diversified
cervicals - sp
thoracic - double tp***
lumbar - sp
gonstead
cervicals - sp
thoracic - sp
lumbar - sp
what is the segmental contact for a sp left and scoliosis/right lateral flexion
diversified
cervicals - body
thoracic - body/double TP*****
lumbar - body
gonstead
cervicals - body
thoracic - body
lumbar - body
what is the segmental contact for a sp right
diversified
cervicals - body
thoracic - body
lumbar - body
gonstead
cervicals - sp
thoracic - sp
lumbar - sp
tissue pull is always in what direction
LOD or LOC
what is another term we could use for body in cervicals, thoracic, and lumbars
cervicals - lamina/pedicle
thoracic - TP
lumbar - mammillary
what are general rules of gonstead
contact the superior (open) side of the segmental wedge
except L5 - special listing
thrust through the plane line of the disc
clockwise and counterclockwise torque to close the open wedge
gonstead side posture and single hand instructions
side posture - doctor forearm must be in line with thrust
single hand - episternal notch must be in line with thrust
gonstead key terms and question clues
cervical chair knee chest decreased extension torque P first in listing single hand
basic gonstead cervical set up
occiput
- patient - seated
- PS listing - contact theanr on mastoid or ear - thrust PA and SI in scooping motion
- AS listing - contact surface of 3rd digit contact glabella - thrust AP and SI in scooping motion
atlas
- patient - seated
- contact - tip of thumb on lateral atlas
- stabilize - base of occiput
- thrust - PA or AP and lateral to medial
C2-7
- patient - seated
- contact - tip of index on lateral spinous or lamina
- stabilize - cupped hand on segment below
- thrust - PA through the plane line of the disc
basic gonstead thoracic set up
thoracic
- patient - prone
- doctor - on side of segmental contact - fencer stance for simple listings and straight away for 4 part listings
- contact - pisiform on lateral SP or TP
- stabilize - contact patient wrist
- thrust - PA through the plane of the disc
basic gonstead lumbar set up
always have involved side (side of segmental contact) up except for spinous pull moves
lumbar
- patient - side posture or knee-chest table
- push moves - contact pisiform on lateral spinous or mammillary - stabilize shoulder - thigh to thigh - thrust PA through the plane of the disc, lateral to medial, plus any torque
- pull moves - contact pad of 2/3rd digit on lateral spinous or mammillary - stabilize shoulder to knee - thigh to thigh - thrust PA through the plane line of the disc
- LOD - spinous = lateral to medial for push and pull moves - mammillary = medial to lateral for push pull techniques
basic gonstead L5 special listing set up
if L5 disc wedge (convexity) is on the right,
and scoliosis convexity is opposite of lumbar disc convexity,
then the doctor must contact L5 sp or mammillary ON THE SIDE OF THE SCOLIOSIS
basic gonstead sacrum set up
involved side UP
patient - side posture
contact - pisiform contact medial to PSIS (PR and PL) - pisiform contact on the first sacral tubercle (base posterior)
stabilize - shoulder, thigh to thigh
thrust - PA through the SI joint plane
basic gonstead anterior coccyx set up
patient - prone
contact - covered thumb tissue pull from base
thrust - superior ward (IS and PA)
diversified occiput set up
flexion malposition = extension restriction= AI/PS
- to adjust extend head
- prone: hypothenar or thenar
extension malposition = flexion restriction = PI/AS
- to adjust flex head
- prone: thenar
diversified atlas and cervicals set up
prone cervical - LF subluxation - stand on side of contact - lateral flexion over contact and rotate head opposite of contact, slight flexion - PUSH
supine cervical - rotation subluxation - stand on side of contact - lateral flexion over contact and rotate head opposite of contact, slight flexion - PUSH
seated rotary - rotation subluxation - stand on opposite side of contact - lateral flexion over the contact and rotate head opposite of contact, slight flexion - PULL
master cervical - hyperlordosis - distraction to avoid adjusting into the curve (distraction reduces curve)
diversified says to stabilize the level __
gonstead says to stabilize the level __
stabilize level above
stabilize level below
gonstead cervical chair will put the patient into __
extension
cervical quiz
seated cervical
cervical chair
prone cervical
supine cervical
which is gonstead
seated cervical - PULL - stabilize above - doctor stands on OPPOSITE side of contact - LOD PA LM IS
cervical chair - PUSH - stabilize BELOW - doctor stands on SAME side of contact - LOD PALM IS SI CW CCW
prone cervical - PUSH - stabilize above - doctor stands on SAME side of contact - LOD PA LM IS
supine cervical - PUSH - stabilize above - doctor stands on SAME side of contact - LOD PA LM IS
