Q

ant vs pos vertebra

A

separated by peduncles - ant - vertebral body and intervertebral disc

Q

how many face joints associated with each vertebra

A

one up one down, angle changes depending on the part of the body for different motions
lumbar allows for flexion and extension - easy to lock if you flex and rotate
c-spine angles downwards for flexion extension and rotation and side bend and interlock with adjacent vertebrae to provide stability
surrounded by cartilage (jt capsule) innervated and capable of producing pain

Q

disc

A

tough outer layer - annulus fibrosis with mushy moist center - nucleus pulposis which dries up as you get older and compression when you stand make you shorter

18
Q

sequence of prolapsed discs

A

protrusion, prolapsed, extruded, sequestrated

19
Q

3 activities with highest forces on back

A

lift wrong, forward bending with weight, lifting right

20
Q

thoracic spine

A

upper 4 like cervical
vertically oriented articular facets and pos directed spinous processes
lower 4 like lumbar with large bodies, robust transverse and spinous proccesses and lat projecting articular facets
middle 4 - vertically oriented articular processes and long slender and inf inclined spinous processes
articular facets for ribs - costal demifacets one on each transverse process
11th and 12th dont have sup costal demifacet

21
Q

fix someones back

A

do the opposite thing that they do all the time - sloppy push ups

22
Q

vertebraes act as

A

shock absorbers

23
Q

kyphosis

A

exaggerated rounding of upper thoracic spine - hunchback/dowager
osteoporosis
degenerative disc disease
spinal fractures, cancer/certain treatments, cogenital deformities or hereditary
increased kyphotic curvature, upper thoracic pain, unable to lie flat, muscle pain, poor or altered postures, SOB/cardic or pulmonary disorders or neurological involvement
exercise, brace, stretches

24
Q

low back exercise concerns

A

breathing
flexibility
strengthen/endurance - table, L spine flexion or extension, side plank
posture - pelvic neutral position

25
Q

if you had a pelvic tilt when you are doing squats

A

extra load

26
Q

if people hate sitting

A

disc problem

27
Q

lumber progressions

A

identify problems, pain relieving modalities if needed
- breathing, exercise technique, lower extremity flexibility, stretching, pelvic neutral position
stable body and spine - neutral pelvic, increased difficulty of exercises, neutral pelvic during sport
increase endurance of lumbar muslces
strength
speed power agility
hypermobility instability,

28
Q

how many foraminas does a certical vertebrae have?

A

3 - vertebral for spinal cord and 2 transverse for artery, vein and nerve

29
Q

bifid spinous process

A

c2-6

30
Q

atlantoaxial jt

A

C1-2, articulation between atlas and dens and articular facets - no mmovement
damaged in whiplash
alar lig and tranverse lig

31
Q

alar lig

A

dens of c2 to occipital condyle - check lig, stablize dens and injured in MVA/whiplash

32
Q

transverse lig

A

stabilize dens
pos wall for dense
across the atlas
prevent ant displacement of atlas

33
Q

c3-7

A

smallest
supported by ligamentum nuchae which is a cont of supraspinous lig
short bifid spinous process
c 7 has a large spinous process

34
Q

vertebral artery

A

through transverse foramen to foramen magnum

35
Q

movement of cervical

A

flexion - 45
extension - 55
rotation - 70
lat flexion - 40

36
Q

thoracic spine

A

T1-12
larger and stronger, facets on both sides of the vertebral body to allow for artibulation with heads of ribs
obliquely downard spinous processes
respiratory process

37
Q

ribs and breathing

A

elevate with inspiration

depress with exhalation

38
Q

restriction of thoracic spine

A

IV discs and attachment by ribs to sternum

39
Q

lumbar spine

A

large vertebral body - more weight
large vertebral foramen - more triangular shaped
long and slender transverse process with accessory process
articular process medially and laterally for flexion and extension
short thick spinous process that point pos

40
Q

movement of lumbar

A

flexion 70
extension 30
lat flex 35

41
Q

sacrum

A
5
supports lumbar 
fused between 16-18 and complete by 30 
pos portion of pelvic cavity 
lat surfaces form SI jts
42
Q

coccyx

A

3-4
muscle attachment
does not participate in body weight support while standing
support when seated

43
Q

pelvic girdle function - 3

A

transfer weight from upper to lower
protection for pelvic contents
decrease forces applied to spine/upper body from contact with the ground

44
Q

pelvic tilt/rotation

A

orientation
ant - towards the front - tight/short hip flexors (illiacus/psoas) and weak/lengthened hip extensors pull on top of pelvis and lumbar spine to cause forward tilt
pos - weak/lengthened hip flexors and tight hip extensors mainly glute max
