Famous People/Laws/Definitions Flashcards
Subluxations are from abnormal biomechanics caused by muscle imbalance in a weight bearing spine. Pelvic distortion model (Basic distortion of the spine starts in the pelvis)
Carver
Developed a protocol for the tx of lumbar disc protrusion, spondylolisthesis, facet syndrome, subluxation, & scoliotic curves
Cox/McManus (Flex/dist)
Developed SOT. CSF flow through the pumping action of the sacrum & the cranial dura mater
DeJarnette
Fixation theory of joint hypermobility
Gillet/Fave
Subluxations are all pos. w/ disc wedging
Gonstead
Upper cervical specific; dentate lig.
Grostic
Found that disc herniations, exostoses, or subluxations may produce pressure on the dorsal nerve root
Hadley
Father of homeopathy (tx’s pts w/ heavily diluted preparations which are thought to cause effects similar to the symptoms presented)
Hahnemann
Father of modern medicine; first to manipulate
Hippocrates
Joint hypermobility; described SI movement & pelvic dynamics. Discovered & tested SI ligs.
Illi
3 phase model of instability (dysfunction, unstable, stabilization); Breaking up spinal adhesions on an injured segment
Kirkaldy/Willis
Segmental Facilitation Theory. Established the concept of subluxation creating a hyperactive nervous system, rather than a decrease in nerve impulses. Muscle is central to his theory
Korr
Wrote the 1st chiro. textbook in 1906; people started to research & incorporate motion instead of “bone out of place” idea
Langworthy, Smith, & Paxson
Revised Faye’s concept of the VSC
Skip Lantz
Founder of technique where sacrum is keystone of spine, first to use heel lifts
Logan (Logan Basic Technique)
World renown scientists in the field of biomechanics of the spine
Panjabi & White
General Adaptation Syndrome; under optimum conditions the body can respond to stressors
Selye
Wrote chiro textbook. Identified 33 principles of chiro. & “safety pin” cycle
Stephenson
Founder of osteopathy in 1856; utilized the circulatory system
Andrew Taylor Still
Came up with name “chiropractic”
Samuel Weed
Steady deformation d/t sustained axial pressure
Creep
Energy loss from loading & unloading disc (heat)
Hysteresis
Long standing creep w/ hysteresis event
Buckling syndrome
Deformation increases in proportion to the load applied
Hooke’s Law
