Exam 2 Flashcards

1
Q

Unilateral cervical syndrome

A

Legs balance on head rotation to one side only

Look for trigger points on side opposite head turn (side of body rotation)

If no trigger point = atlas posterior

Q

Atlas

A

Only posterior atlas listings are found with thompson style compressive leg check so it’s a good idea to check atlas with palpation adn motion even if the cervical syndrome comes out negative

Q

If right cervical rotation with the legs flexed creates balanced legs

26
Q

If left cervical rotation, with the legs flexed, creates balanced legs

27
Q

X-derifield cervical syndrome

A

Balanced legs, flex them and now short leg

Cervical rotation balances

XDCS

28
Q

X-derifield negative derifield

A

Balanced legs

Flex them and have short leg

Cervical rotation leg stays short = XD-D

29
Q

Automatic innate reaction to SI joint dysfunction

30
Q

Lousy SI on the side of the tender nodules

31
Q

Adjust first rib

A

To mobilize the cervicals without touching them

32
Q

Overcompensated cervical syndrome

A

Unbalanced legs

Cervical rotation causes them to balance

Multiple tender nodules in a stair stepping form on opposite side with trapezius spasm on same side

33
Q

Suspected with chronic C2 subluxation

34
Q

Decreasing spinous laterality down to C7

Very tight trapezius muscle opposite side of axis spinous laterality

Often seen in torticollis

Often found when SI joint is in severe need of correction

35
Q

Left overcompensated cervical syndrome (right trap spasm, spinouses left side) adjustment

A

Right 1st rib

36
Q

OCCS adjustment

SCP

CP

LOC

Number of thrusts

A

SCP = 1st rib head
CP = zygomatic arch
LOC = L-M, I-S, S-I
Number of thrusts = 1

37
Q

OCCS adjusmten

A

Laterally flex head

Effective for torticollis

38
Q

Bilateral cervical syndrome

A

Legs balanced

Upon cervical rotation to both sides, legs unbalance

39
Q

BCS

A

Variable indicator of counter-rotation of upper cervical segments (occiput/C1 or C1/C2)

40
Q

BCS adjustment

A

Palpate C2 spinous pain

SCP = inferior nuchal line
CP = bilateral thenars
LOC = AP, IS scoop with flip to ceiling
1 thrust
Tuck chin in 
Effective for removal of C1-occiput fixations
41
Q

This finding may indicate anteriority and/or inferiority of sacrum if the correct trigger points are found

A

Negative Derifield

42
Q

Negative D legs

A

Legs unbalanced, into flexion, short leg balances or stays short

43
Q

This finding may indicate posteriority of ilium

A

Positive Derifield

44
Q

Positive D

A

Legs unbalanced, flex legs and short leg becomes long

45
Q

-D

46
Q

-D AI sacrum trigger points

A

Ipsilateral achilles tendon
Medial tibial condyle (medial hamstrings)
Inferior medial ischial tuberosity
Medial and inferior to PSIS
Ipsilateral pubic tubercle
Contralateral T2-6 costo-transverse junction and mid-clavicular 1st or 2nd intercostal space pain anteriorly

3 trigger points needed with 2 below the waist

47
Q

If AI trigger points are not found, check for

A 
Ipsilaterior posterior rocked ischium
Contralateral PI ilium
IN or EX
Sacral apex left or right
L5 or L4
48
Q

Negative D as AI sacrum

A

Part 1
SCP = Ischial tuberosity
LOC - IS, slight ML
Reduces inferior sacrum

Part 2
SCP - medial to PSIS
CP - above knee
Lines up ilium with anterior sacrum

49
Q

Negative D AI sacrum description

A

Knife edge below buttock - push it up - same side table

Opposite side table - lift leg straight, push out on medial PSIS opposite side of you

50
Q

The side of the anterior sacrum

A

Is the -D side

51
Q

Negative Derifield Part 2 alternate moves

A

SCP just medial to PSIS
CP = top of knee
LOC = medial to lateral
3-5 thrusts

52
Q

Negative derifield supine (preferred)

A

Part 1
SCP - ischial tuberostiy
CP - ASIS
LOC - IS, ML

Part 2
SCP - inguinal ligament
CP - top of opposite knee
LOC - fingers lateral, AP
3-5 thrusts
Torque out
53
Q

LBP after first tennis game in spring
Left -D without trigger points

54
Q

A 
\+D
-D
CS 
XD
BCS
55
Q

L short stays short = -D
Right head rotation balance
Left head rotation stays short

A

RCS - palpate L - no tender nodules = atlas stuck - LP atlas

56
Q

CS categories

A

Atlas
OCCS
DL
Post Lock

57
Q

+D confirmed with

A

Leg lag (resistance on flexion)

PI ilium

58
Q

Commonly see XD in

A

Kids and athletes

59
Q

+D

A

Short leg, CS cleared, still short - put in flexion = crosses

Leg lag on same side

PI ilium

60
Q

Posterior rocked ischium

A

Tight gastroc

61
Q

-D first fixes =

Second fixes

A

Inferiority

Anteriority

62
Q

Lifting leg on AI sacrum

A

Puts ilium in same plane as sacrum
