Exam #3 Flashcards
Somatic dysfunction can occur anywhere in the body at
Sympathetics levels
Paraysmpathetic levels
Soma (not autonomic related)
Viscerosomatic reflexes occur at
Sympathetics levels
Parasympathetics levels
Facilitated segments ONLY occur at
Sympathetics
…. with respiratory assist is CONTRAINDICATED in a patient with Asthmatic Flare Up or COPD exacerbation
Thoracic Pump
Diaphragm neurological
neurological: phrenic nerve (C3, C4, C5)
Where the thoracoabdominal diaphragm attaches
lower ribs, thoraco-lumbar junction, T10-L3 are examples
splenic rupture pain referral
shoulder
Young males should not get recurrent urinary tract infections: must do
imaging studies of the uro-genital anatomy
Great for treating otitis media, fluid in the ear, Eustachian tube somatic dysfunction
Galbreath Technique
high-pitched ringing in the ear
Internal rotation of the temporal bone
perception of a low-pitched roar
External rotation of the temporal bone
A parallelogram-shaped head in an infant is associated with
lateral strain cranial pattern
what can cause a positive psoas test
renal lithiasis
appendicitis
inflamed lymph nodes, this may make the muscle they are touching to become hypertonic such as sternocleidomastoid causing
torticollis
If someone has a nocturnal cough at night it could be bc
asthma (pulmonary issue) or reflux (GI issue)
…would think more pulmonary issue and maybe albuterol might be answer choice
T2
…would think this is more GI and maybe omeprazole might be answer choice
T8
could be either pulmonary or GI and you would need more information to get correct answer
T5
Treating a facilitated segment would help avoid excessive neurologic impulse through the
viscerosomatic reflex arc
Later stages of chronic facilitation is associated with loss of
inhibitory neurons
RVU means
relative value unit
Lumbar spine will side-bend towards the …. and rotate towards the…
side-bend towards the long leg side and rotate towards the short leg side
Most commonly used form of contraction in muscle energy is
isometric contraction
Take a history prior to
physical examination
Isometric contraction used in muscle energy tenses the … causing a reflex inhibition of the muscle allowing an increase in muscle length
Golgi Tendon organs
A heel lift for a leg length difference may help prevent
osteoarthritis
Orientation of Superior Facets
cervical: BUM
thoracic: BUL
lumbar: BM
Orientation of Inferior Facet
cervical: AIL
thoracic: AIM
lumbar: AL
flexion and extension are on a … plane
sagital
OA is
AA is
C2-C7 are
Type I like
rotation only
Type II like
Rule’s of three
T1-3: spinous processes project posteriorly therefore the tip of the spinous process is in the same plane as the transverse process of that vertebra
T4-6: spinous processes project slightly downward, therefore the tip of the spinous process lies in a plane halfway between that vertebra’s transverse processes and the transverse processes of the vertebra below it
T7-9: spinous processes project moderately downward, therefore the tip of the spinous process is in a plane with the transverse process below it
T10 follows rules of T7-9
T11 follows rules of T4-6
T12 follows rules of T1-3
Indirect Technique
Dysfunction is taken into position of injury
Uses inherent forces
Uses a compressive, tractional, or torsional component
Direct Technique
Uses external forces
Postisometric Relaxation
Patient is Instructed to GENTLY Push AWAY From the Barrier
Reciprocal Inhibition
Patient is Instructed to GENTLY Push TOWARD the Barrier
pancreatitis and vomiting or myocardial infarction and vomiting
viscerovisceral reflex
post ganglionic sympathetic fibers lead to tissue texture changes
hypertonicity, moisture, erythema
KNOW sympathetics and parasympathetics
Ganglions
CN foramens
…
Sympathetic Supply to Upper Extremity Vasculature
T2-T8
Sympathetic Supply to Lower Extremity Vasculature
T11 to L2 levels
Thoracic inlet/outlet components
