Q

Case management facet syndrome

A

Facet joint motion will end the pain presentation (3-5 visits)

Q

Subluxation correction of spondylolisthesis

Inflammatory (appendicitis)
Related to leg length inequality
Related to contracture about the hip

A

Functional scoliosis

30
Q

Sitting coupled motion

A

Everythign couple rotates away from side of bend

31
Q

Standing or sitting up straight coupled motion

A

Lumbars couple rotate to teh same side of bend

32
Q

Pelvic unleveling

A

A right short leg should produce a right scoliosis

33
Q

For every 5 mm of AS or PI measured on x-ray, it will change the leg length by

A

2 mm

Calculation is called an actual deficiency or AD

34
Q

Heel lift rules

A

The subluxation is unstable
The AD is more than 6 mm
Lumbar convexity is to the short leg side
Lumbar body rotation is to the short leg side
Patient is fully formed and under the age of 45

35
Q

Scoliosis what table

A

Knee chest

36
Q

Rod

A

Rod is because of progressive scoliosis

Did adjust on hi lo with pelvis piece locked in area of rod

Grade 2 spondylo adjusted on hi lo with abodminal piece locked only when symptomatic

37

A
Pregnancy
Elderly (rigid)
Osteoporosis
Patient is larger, especially if larger than doctor
Children
Straightened lumbar spine
Flat back/thoracic lordosis

Very flexible patient
Knee/hip problems
Spondylolysthesis
Knife clasp
Scoliosis
Emotionally unable to handle the table
Hyperkyphosis of thoracic and hi lo

42
Q

What bone would be adjusted if a patient had an L5 spondylo and what listing

A

44
Q

Contraindications for adjusting spondylo

A

45
Q

Facet syndrome shows all except

A

Paresthesia into lower extremities

46
Q

Facet syndrome occurs because of

A

Degenerated disc shifts weight bearing into facet

47
Q

Goal of gonstead adjustment of a symptomatic spondylolysthesis is

A

Level the endpaltes and get motion in facet joints

48
