COMAT Flashcards
Seated flexion test: positive on the right
Sacral sulcus: deep on the right
Inferolateral angle: posterior on the left
Sacral base: springs freely
Left on Left Torsion
Left = b/c Ps on the left
Left = positive seated flexion on right
Torsion= Ps on the same side
To tx Left on Left ANTERIOR Torsion sacral dysfunction with an indirect technique in the prone position, gentle anterior force should be applied toward the
right sacral base
L3 vs L4 dermatones
L3 doesnt go below the knee
L4 = Medial leg & foot
J sign = pain worsens when using the stairs + improves w/ rest
positive patella grind test = Clarke test
Patellofemoral syndrome
x-ray =
- ↓ patellofemoral joint space
- lateral patellar tracking on sunrise view
IR of the talus & foot inversion
posterior fibular head dysfunction
T10–T11 - SANS
Upper GI = pancreas/duodenum, jejunum
Right colon
Adrenals
Gonads
Kidneys
upper ureter
superior mesenteric ganglion
stellate ganglion
level of C7 in front of the neck of the 1st rib - SANS
Head/neck + heart
celiac ganglion
T5–T9 - SANS
stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas/duodenum
Electromyography = nerve conduction study
confirm the dx of carpal tunnel syndrome
Post-isometric relaxation
a direct form of muscle energy (active)
FPR
Facilitated positional release = indirect and passive technique
Indirect OMT Techniques
MFR
Counterstrain – passive
Facilitated Positional Release (FPR) – passive
Balanced Ligamentous Tension (BLT)/Ligamentous Articular Strain (LAS) – passive
Direct OMT Techniques
MFR
Muscle Energy - active
HVLA – passive
Soft tissue – passive
- excessive pronation of the foot = pain in the ball and arch
- internal hip rotation
- functional shortening of the leg
- elongated 2nd toe
Morton foot (also known as Morton’s toe)
posterior radial head tx position
forearm extended and supinated
Dx = ease (pronation moves radial head posteriorly)
inversion, or supination, ankle sprain the cuboid is typically internally rotated (dropped)
Tx
Hiss Whip
tenderpoint halfway between the ILA of the sacrum and the greater trochanter of the femur
piriformis → Sciatica
Piriformis counterstain
Prone
F-Abdut-ER
Peeing dog
Spencer technique
muscle energy = direct tech
extension, flexion, circumduction w/ compression, circumduction w/ traction, abduction, internal rotation, pump
Tx: adhesive capsulitis
To calculate the necessary heel lift height, one must measure
sacral base unleveling difference
Heilig formula
parallelogram head
child is not feeding well and often spits up food after eating
Lateral strain w/ condylar compression
CN 9,10, 11, 12
L5 somatic dysfunction knowing the examination finding of the sacrum
L5 always
rotate in opposite directions
SB is ipsilateral sacral oblique axis
Type 1 Fryette’s
Dalrymple pump
Pedal pump
Miller pump
Thoracic pump
Common peroneal nerve
Deep fibular
Superficial fibular
Common peroneal = slits off into fibular nerves
Sole deep peroneal nerve injury = complete loss of dorsiflexion (i.e. a foot drop)
Sole superficial peroneal nerve injury = affect foot eversion and sensation of the lateral leg and dorsal foot
Tissue texture change at T12 on the left
Tenderpoint slightly medial to the left ASIS
L1–L5 neutral, sidebent left, rotated right
Psoas issues
Thomas test
FABER
hip + sacroiliac (SI) joint
anterior portion of the hip pain
FADIR
tension on the femoroacetabular joint
stresses the labrum
T12
Left colon
Pelvis
lower half of ureter
bladder
genitalia
Inferior mesenteric ganglion
Masseter TMJ TP
inferior aspect of the zygoma on the side of the TP
Medial Pterygoid TMJ TP
away from the TP ( posterior surface of the ascending ramus of the mandible about 2 cm above the angle of the mandible)
Torsion ME positions
lay on axis & rotate opposite
Anterior: R on R or L on L = face down
Posterior: L on R or R on L = face up
Rotation on axis
Forward sacral torsions are patient’s torso facing the table
Backward sacral torsions are patient’s back on the table
