Cranial Paired Bones Flashcards
Paired bones
Parietal
Frontal
Temporal
Parietal Bone motion during flexion
external rotation during cranial F
Parietal Bone axis/panes
AP axis in coronal plane
Parietal Bone clinical associations or symptoms of disease
HA, alteration of seizure threshold, localized pain
Parietal Lift Technique:
Is IR or ER more common?
IR is more common
Parietal Lift Technique Position of patient. Position of physician. Points of contact. Movement
Position of patient - supine
Position of physician - at head
Points of contact - MODIFIED VAULT HOLD. Thumbs INTERLOCKED AT SAGITTAL SUTURE, fingers contact inferior aspects of parietal bones.
Movement - Pull thumbs against each other, increasing pressure at fingretips to move bones toward IR. Disengages inf sutures from temporal bones. DISENGAGE PARIETALS by gaping and DISTRACTING CEPHALAD.
When are you done with parietal lift technique?
when CRI quality/quantity changes
Frontal Bone motion during cranial F?
Cranial E?
Flexion - ER (low slowing forehead - toboggan slide)
Extension - IR (high bulging/prominent forehead - ski jump)
Rotation related to inferior edge of bone.
Frontal Bone axis/planes
Dual AP axis in CORONAL plane
Frontal Bone clinical association/symptoms of disease
HA, visual or smell disturbances (anosmia)
Frontal Lift Objective
Allow frontal bone to perform its normal physiological motion and to free the inferior aspects of the coronal suture.
Parietal Life Technique Objective
Restore proper physiologic motion to parietal bones when restricted in either IR or ER
Frontal Lift position of patient.
supine
Frontal Lift position of physician.
at patient’s head
Frontal Lift points of contact
Fingers interlaced on forehead with hypothenar eminences on lateral angle of frontal bone. Heels of hand at coronal suture.
Frontal Lift Movement
During Extension/IR:
interlaced fingers exert pressure on each other, resulting in medial pressure against hypothenar eminences, raising frontal anteriorly into ER - hold for release of tension.
Temporal Bone motion.
What is it named for?
Motion - ER during Cranial F (sup border moves anterolatera”forward and out”l/slightly superior)
Named for the superior border of petrous portion.
