Q

The temporal bones move with what other cranial bone? Why is this important?

A

Occiput

-Mandible swings on temporal bones, thus may be treated

Q

The facial bones move with what other bones?

A

SBS

20
Q

True or false: torsions cross midline

A

False–never cross midline

21
Q

What are the two axes that are used with sidebending-rotations?

A
  • 2 vertical axes

- AP axis

22
Q

What produces sidebending rotations?

A

Lateral force directed exactly at the level of the SBS

23
Q

True or false: with sidebending-rotations occur, the two motions occur at the same time

A

True

24
Q

How do you name sidebending rotations?

A

For the side of the convexity (the side the proverbial egg falls out of)

25
Q

What are the axes involved with vertical strains?

A

2 transverse

26
Q

What is the direction for vertical strain patterns?

A

Same

27
Q

How are vertical strain patterns named?

A

Direction of the base of the SBS

28
Q

What happens to the 2nd and 5th fingers with a superior vertical strain?

A

2nd = move inferiorly

5th = move superiorly

29
Q

What happens to the temporal bones with a superior vertical strain?

A

Temporals move into internal rotation–follow the occiput

30
Q

What happens to the temporal bones with an inferior vertical strain?

A

Temporals move into external rotation–follow the occiput

31
Q

What are the axes involved with lateral strains?

A

2 vertical

32
Q

What is the movement for lateral strains?

A

Same

33
Q

How are lateral strains named?

A

Base of the sphenoid moves left or right

34
Q

What causes SBS compressions?

A

Traumatic blows to the nose, directly in line with the SBS

35
Q

What is the axis that SBS compressions happen in?

A

AP

36
Q

What is the movement of SBS compressions?

A

Little movement is felt–prevents flexion/extension

37
Q

What will happen to the fingers with a SBS compression?

A

Approximation of the index and pinky

38
Q

What is the indication for a parietal lift?

A

HA at the vertex

39
Q

How can you think of internal and external rotation of the parietal bones?

A

Think of a vector pointing inferiorly at the inferior edge of the suture

40
Q

What is the basic principle that is used with the frontal lift? What happens to the frontal bones?

A

Internally rotates the frontals to disengage them from their related bones

Permit them to externally rotate and widen

41
Q

What are the two roles of the CV-IV compression?

A

Stimulate the body’s therapeutic potency to heal

stimulates prostaglandins to assist in myometrial contractility–PAST their due dates

42
Q

True or false: you never do any cranial technique with head trauma patients

A

True

43
Q

What is the purpose of the v spread?

A

Release any stuck sutures

44
Q

Why would you use the VSD?

A

Sinusitis, rhinitis, migraines

45
Q

What is the purpose of temporal rocking?

A

Temporarily reduce or increase the CRI in anxious patients
