General Flashcards
Describe the orientation of superior facets of the vertebrae
1) Cervical (Backwards, Upwards, Medial)
2) Thoracic (Backwards, Upwards, Lateral)
3) Lumbar (Backwards, Upwards, Medial)
What does TART stand for?
Tissue texture change
Asymmetry
Restriction
Tenderness
What axis and plan do the following motions move through?
1) Flexion/extension
2) Rotation
3) Sidebending
1) Axis: transverse; Plane: sagital
2) Axis: Vertical; Plane: transverse
3) Axis: Anterior/Posterior; Plane: Coronal
What are the attachements of the diaphragm?
1) Xyphoid process
2) Ribs 6-12
3) Bodies and intervertebral discs of L1-3
What is the primary motion of the following ribs?
1) Ribs 1-5
2) Ribs 6-10
3) Ribs 11-12
1) Pump handle
2) Bucket handle
3) Caliper
What rib must be treated in an inhalation dysfunction? exhalation dysfunction?
1) Bottom rib
2) Top rib
What muscles are used for treatment of the following ribs that have exhalation dysfunction?
1) Ribs 1-2
2) Ribs 3-5
3) Ribs 6-8
4) Ribs 9-10
1) Anterior Scalene
2) Pectoralis minor
3) Serratus Anterior
4) Latissimus dorsi
What’s the difference between a spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, and a spondylosis?
1) Spondylolisthesis - anterior displacement of the vertebrae with fracture of the pars interarticularis
2) Spondylolysis- fracture of the pars interarticularis with no anterior displacement
3) Spondylosis- degeneration within the vertebral disc
What is occuring in a dextroscoliosis? Levoscoliosis?
1) Side bending to the left causing translation of spine to the right
2) Side bending to the right causing translation to the left
Think: Levo = left
What are the findings of a short leg syndrome?
1) Anterior rotation of the Innomanate on side of short leg
2) Lumbar vertebrae will side bend away and rotate toward short leg
What side should a heel lift be applied to in a pt. with short leg syndrome?
1) Side of dysfunction
2) Should only lift 1/2-3/4
3) Pt. who are fragile should only be lifted 1/16
