Q

What do you call the hole located between each pair of vertebrae? What does it do?

A

18
Q

Lordosis is …. of the spine

A

Concave (↑ extension)

19
Q

Kyphosis is ….. of the spine

A

Convex

20
Q

HNP stands for…

A

Herniated Nucleus Pulposus

21
Q

What is the mechanism of injury for HNP?

A

Flexion and rotation

22
Q

What is peripheralization and centralization?

A

Peripherization - Pain moves away from its origin and into an extremity, such as the arm or leg — increased pressure placed on nerves.

Centralization - Pain moves from a distant location back to its origin, such as pulling sciatica-type symptoms up towards the spine. This can mean less pain, improved function, and a reduced range of movement—decreased pressure on the nerves.

23
Q

What is McKenzie’s Extension?

A

Cervical retraction (axial extension) for the C-spine and PPU for the L-spine

24
Q

What is William’s Flexion?

A
  1. PPT
  2. PPT with R KTC
  3. PPT with L KTC
  4. PPT with DKTC
25
Q

Where in the vertebrae herniated discs occur most commonly?

A

C5-C6 and C6-C7
L4-L5 and L5-S1

26
Q

What is Sprengel’s Deformity?

A

Congenital undescended scapula

27
Q

What is scapular winging?

A

Weakness of serratus anterior muscle causing one or both shoulder blades to stick out from the back instead of lying flat.

28
Q

What does the tightness of pec minor cause?

A

Causes the shoulder blade to tilt forward and rotate inward, which can lead to pain and dysfunction in the shoulder joint.

29
Q

What’s the muscle of mastication that originates from the zygomatic arch?

A

Masseter

30
Q

What’s the muscle for the elevation of the mandible (closing the mouth) by the temporal bone?

A

Anterior temporalis muscle

31
Q

What’s the muscle of mastication that helps elevate the mandible and attaches to the medial surface of the angle of the mandible?

A

Medial pterygoid muscle

32
Q
