STEP deformity
EPAULETTE sign (military bars)
AC separate causes the clavicle to come up and for a step
separation of shoulders ->AC
separation/dislocation -> location of bones

Rotated to\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Answer 13

Lateral flexion to LEFT

Rotated to RIGHT

Question 14

Answer 14

palpation C1 Tps are closer to mandible than mastoid

Question 15

Chin UP

Answer 15

AS occiput

Question 16

from where

Answer 17

triceps or anconeus

Question 18

correct segmental contact point

ASR atlas

Answer 18

right TP

Posterior arch ONLY with rotation

Question 19

cervical Xray

open wedge on R
SCP =?

Answer 19

PLI

right LPJ C5

Question 20

combinations of movement - dangerous in cervicals

Answer 20

hyperextension and rotation

Question 21

FX not contraindicated for adj in lower cervicals

Answer 21

clay shovelers (C7 spinous) - only stable fx!

Question 22

doc stand right of seated pat
contacts L LPJ C2 - right index
stabilizes with L hand on right side of head
LOD = ?

L-R, I-S

rotatory move at C2

Question 23

LOD for C1

Answer 23

S-I

Question 24

palpation of 1st rib - supraclavicular space

during

Answer 24

flexion and rotation to ipsilateral side

Question 25

cervical motion - MC hypermobility and insitbility

Answer 25

C5-C6

Apex of cervical curve = MC site of DJD

Question 26

palpation

space between 2nd sacral tubercle and LEFT PSIS is GREATER than the space b/w 2nd sacral tubercle and the PSIS on RIGHT

Answer 26

EX left
Internally rotated foot - left
Wider obturator foramen - left

Question 27

rotation of L spine - limited by

Answer 27

sagittal orientation of facet

allows for flexion not rotation

Question 28

rationale for avoiding

rotation of lower C spine

Answer 28

rotation is limited in lower C spine
carotid a. bifurcates at C6
vertebral a goes posterior at C1 ONLY

Question 29

which contact for:

sitting rotatory break C- spine

middle finger

standing to side
