COMLEX OMM Flashcards
Primary motions of the following regions of the C-spine
OA
AA
C2-7
OA: flexion/extension
AA: rotation
C2-7: side-bending
Short-leg syndrome treatment
Lift to the level of the sacral base. Start by 1/8” and increase by 1/16” each 2 weeks.
In elderly, start with 1/16”. With trauma, replace full length.
