Curvatures Of The Column Flashcards
What is the name given to the integration of visual and motor pathways associated with holding the head erect?
The righting reflex.
What developmental events are indicated in the formation of the adult cervical curve?
Centers for vision and equilibrium will appear in the brain, musculature attaching the skull, cervical region, and the upper thorax together develops the head held upright, the intervertebral disc height becomes greater anterior than posterior.
What is the location for the cervical kyphosis?
Between occiput and C1.
What infant activities are associated with the developement if the lumbar curve?
Crawling and walking.
What is the relationship between curve direction and handed ness?
A right handed person has a high probability for a right thoracic, left lumbar curve combination.
What clinical examples of abnormal curvatures along the vertebral column were stressed in class?
Military neck, humpback or hunchback, and swayback.
What are the curve classifications for military neck?
A kyphosis or hypolordotic curve.
What are the curve classifications for humpback?
Kyphosis or hyperkyphotic.
What are the curve classifications for swayback?
A lordosis or hyperlordotic.
What are the classifications of scoliosis according to the scoliosis research society?
Magnitude, location, direction, etiology, and structural/non-structural
Identify the curve direction, location, gender bias and incidence of infantile idiopathic scoliosis?
Left thoracic, males, less than 1 percent incidence.
Identify the curve direction, location, gender bias, and incidence of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis?
Right thoracic, females over 6 years old, 12-21 percent incidence.
Identify the curve direction, location, gender bias, and incidence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?
Right thoracic or right thoracic and left lumbar, females, 80 percent.
What is the relationship between curve deviation, incidence, and curve worsening?
The greater the deviation, the lower the incidence, and the more likely to worsen.
