Cranial lab, frontal lift, 1/15

Question 1

AP diameter decreases in what

Answer 1

cranial flexion

Question 2

frontal bone assesment position

Answer 2

one hand on frontal bone other supporting head

feel for flexion and extension

Question 3

parietal bone assessment set up

Answer 3

index middle ring and little fingers over inferolateral aspects of parietal bones

Question 4

what bones do you avoid when assessing parietal bones

Answer 4

temporal

Question 5

During flexion how do parietal bones move

Answer 5

laterally

sagittal suture moves inferiorly

Question 6

majoirty venous drainage of head goes where

Answer 6

internal jugular vein which goes thorugh jugular foramen

Question 7

jugular foramen is between what bones

Answer 7

temporal and occiptal bones along occipitomastoid suture

Question 8

compression of occipitomastoid suture can do what

Answer 8

reduce venous drainage and affect CN 9 10 11

Question 9

how to check occipitomastoid suture

Answer 9

hook distal middle fingers around mastoi processes of termporal bones and apply superior directed traction to each temporal bone one at a time
resistance will be restricted side

Question 10

Tx for internally rotated frontal bones

Answer 10

frontal lift

Question 11

hand placement for frontal lift

Answer 11

hypothenar eminences on lateral angles of frontal bone an interlace fingers above metopic suture
elbows on table
during cranial extension- medially directed force with both hands and maintain during flexion with added anterior lift
hold till tension equal then release forces and then hands

Question 12

Tx internally rotate parietal bones

Answer 12

parietal lift

Question 13

hand placement parietal lift

Answer 13

2nd -5th digits b/l over inferolateral aspects parietal bones
cross thumbs over sagittal suture lightly
gentle medial force with fingers and maintain so when in flexion lift parietal bones superior and hold until tension equal
release forces and hands slowly

Question 14

Tx for compressed occipitomastoid suture

Answer 14

V spread

Question 15

hand placement V spread for L OM suture compression

Answer 15

L index and middle finger on either side OM suture
R thumb, index, middle fingers over R frontal bone
spread L index and middle finger apart to gap OM suture
R hand introduce fluid wave toward L hand by increasing wrist flexion, send back and forth
done when feel softening at OM suture
