Question 1

Medial Pterygoid CS

Answer 1

Question 2

Superior Vertical Strain

Answer 2

Name: Superior Sphenoid Base (sphenoid is flexed)

Axes: Two transverse (left to right)

Palpatory findings: O+S rotate together (rotate anteriorly); 1st moves inferiorly, pinky moves superiorly (head feels like it rolls away from you)

Question 3

Suboccipital Triangle

Answer 3

Question 4

Left SB Strain

Answer 4

Name: side that is fuller/convexity developed in cranium (flexed side)

Axes: one sagittal (A-P), two vertical (sup/inf)

motion same direction about sagittal, opposite about vertical

Palpatory Findings: side of lower sphenoid wing + O is flexed, and high side is extended; left hand spreads open, right hand pinches together

S + O rotate to side of SB (meaning the inferior side matches the SB

–> left side of O + S is lower/you have a left rotation)

Question 5

Masseter CS

Answer 5

Question 6

Inferior Vertical Strain

Answer 6

Name: Inferior Sphenoid Base (sphenoid is extended)

Axes: Two transverse (left to right)

Palpatory findings: O+S rotate together (rotate posteriorly); 1st moves superiorly, pinky moves inferiorly (head feels like it rolls toward from you)

Question 7

PC1 Occiput, PC2 Occiput

Answer 7

Question 8

Cervical HVLA: Rotation Emphasis

Answer 8

remember to start with a preparatory technique!

Question 9

Left Lateral Strain

Answer 9

Name: Base of Sphenoid to Left

Axis: two vertical (one through O, one through S)

Palpatory findings: O + S rotate together; 1st and pinky fingers move opposite, and direction of pinky finger goes left, and sides of strain (left) moves slightly anterior

Question 10

Right SB Strain

Answer 10

Name: side that is fuller/convexity developed in cranium (flexed side)

Axes: one sagittal (A-P), two vertical (sup/inf)

Palpatory Findings: side of lower sphenoid wing + O is flexed, and high side is extended; right hand spreads open, left hand pinches together

S + O rotate to side of SB (meaning the inferior side matches the SB

–> right side of O + S is lower/you have a right rotation)

Temporals + Parietals are externally rotated on fuller side, mandible shifts towards fuller side, frontal bone + orbit are more anterior on fuller side

Question 11

Muscle Testing/Motion of TMJ

Answer 11

Question 12

Becker Contact

Answer 12

Question 13

Frontal Occipital Contact

Answer 13

Question 14

Cervical HVLA: SB Emphasis

Answer 14

remember to start with a preparatory technique!

Question 15

Vault Contact

Answer 15

Question 16

Suboccipital Triangle Proprioception

Answer 16

Question 17

Temporomanidbular Joint (TMJ) CS

Answer 17

Question 18

Left Torsion

Answer 18

Name: Left Sphenoid Wing is higher

Axes: One Sagittal (A-P)

Palpatory Findings: O + S move opposite directions; right hand moves inferiorly, left hand moves superiorly

temporal + parietal bones are externally rotated on side of torsion, mandible shifts to side of torsion, orbits are smaller on side of torsion

*the thumb that points towards you is the side of the torsion*

Question 19

PC2

Answer 19

Question 20

Direction of Thrust: Cervical HVLA

Answer 20

Question 21

Steps of CS

Answer 21

Question 22

Right Torsion

Answer 22

Name: Right Sphenoid Wing is higher

Axes: One Sagittal (A-P)

Palpatory Findings: O + S move opposite directions; right hand moves superiorly, left hand moves inferiorly

temporal + parietal bones are externally rotated on side of torsion, mandible shifts to side of torsion, orbits are smaller on side of torsion

*the thumb that points towards you is the side of the torsion*

Question 23

Right Lateral Strain

Answer 23

Name: Base of Sphenoid to Right

Axis: two vertical (one through O, one through S)

Palpatory findings: O + S rotate together; 1st and pinky fingers move opposite, and direction of pinky finger goes right, and sides of strain (right) moves slightly anterior

Question 24

SBS Compression

Answer 24

Axes: Sagittal Axis (A-P)

Palpatory Findings: diminished motion

Question 25

PC1 Inion

Answer 25
