Q

Why does rubbing or shaking an injured part help decrease pain?

A

Motion stimulates the Ia fibers which inhibit nociception.

17
Q

T/F: When adjusting the front limb the limb should be weight-bearing.

A

FALSE: The limb should be NON-weight bearing.

18
Q

During manipulation the dog’s mouth should be (open/closed)?

A

Open

19
Q

T/F: Because the TMJ is a high motion joint we need to palpate it with high force

A

FALSE

20
Q

What are two possible restrictions of the atlas?

A

Dorsal and cranial

21
Q

What divides the TMJ into 2 compartments?

A

Meniscus

22
Q

A dog that is paraplegic but still has deep pain is considered to have what grade of spinal cord lesion?

A

Grade 4

23
Q

T/F: If a manipulation does not restore normal ROM you should make no more than 2-3 attempts at manipulation in 1 day.

A

TRUE

24
Q

T/F: Increasing nociception and perpetuating inflammatory factor are two ways the sympathetics can promote the subluxation complex.

A

TRUE

25
Q

How does head position affect the sympathetics?

A

Lowering the head stimulates the parasympathetics and calms the sympathetics

26
Q

Which cervical vertebra has demi-facets?

A

C7

27
Q

What is the stretch-shortening cycle?

A

Eccentric loading of the muscle just prior to concentric action to increase the force produced

A

FALSE

34
Q
