Homework Questions Review Flashcards
What is the paraphysiologic space?
The space between passive ROM and destruction of anatomic barriers
Components of the set-up include: (choose all that apply)
Dr. position , Patient position , Dr. contact point , Patient contact point
Why is your body position important?
to protect you from injury and provide the correct line of drive
What muscles should the Dr. use to make a HVLA thrust (most commonly)?
Triceps and pectorals
If a manipulation does not restore normal ROM you should
make no more than 2 or 3 attempts at manipulation in one day
What is a contraindication for manipulation?
joint laxity
The secondary cervical curve is in the ______________cervical region.
Lower
When the neck goes into extension
the diameter of both the IVF and the canal decrease
Cranial nerve VI is the ______________________ nerve.
abducens
The ventral plate of the spinal cord carries mostly _____________________ information.
Motor
Three parts of the MSC are
intrafusal fibers, Ia sensory neuron and gamma motor neuron
What do GTOs monitor?
Contraction
When the GTO is stimulated what effect does it create on the muscle?
Relaxation
Ia fibers synapse directly to alpha motor neurons. This
increases the speed of transmission
What do the MSCs monitor?
Stretch
Why is it important for us to use a high velocity for the manipulation?
To stimulate the golgi tendon organs
Where are GTOs (golgi tendon organs) located?
At the musculotendinous junction
One way to increase stability is to move the center of gravity
lower
One way to increase the force of a movement is to ___________ the range of motion.
increase
The stretch shortening cycle is
eccentric loading of the muscle just prior to concentric action to increase the force produced
Why is it important to spend 10-20 minutes in walk prior to training?
Tendons are viscoelastic so cyclic loading makes them less stiff to withstand load.
Why do some movements begin with a counter-movement?
To generate more force
Which muscle action generates the most force?
eccentric
What enables the muscle spindle cell to be effective at all muscle lengths?
the gamma motor neuron or gamma gain
What is the effect of a slow, prolonged stretch on a muscle via the Ia afferents?
It rests the muscle to a new longer length
You are presented with a patient that is reluctant to bend its neck to the left and has very tense muscles in the lower cervical region. It is also mildly ataxic. The owner says that it fell while running outside. What should you do?
Pursue further diagnostics which may include radiographs of the neck
Why is it important for an animal to stand with its feet evenly under its body i.e. square?
it is the most energy efficient and balanced
What is the main goal of proprioceptive systems?
to keep the animal upright
Why does closing your eyes make it difficult to balance?
closing your eyes take away the horizon line
When an animal jumps, just before take off it flexes the joints of the hind limbs in other words it uses a counter-movement. Why do they use a counter-movement?
to increase the force generated by the hind limbs
Why is prolonged stretching contraindicated before exercise?
it resets the muscle spindle cells to a longer length and creates joint laxity
The _____________ and ______________ muscles close the mouth and the ____________muscle helps grind the food (lateral excursion)
masseter, temporalis, pytergoids
What muscle is responsible for rotation of C1on C2?
obliquus capitis caudalis
Muscles that lift the lower cervical curve include
splenius, scalenes and serratus ventralis
What muscle attaches at the transverse processes of C3-T3 to the mastoid process of the skull and the atlas?
longissimus capitis
What muscle consists of 5 muscle bundles per segment and lies on ventral aspect of the cervical spine?
longus colli
What muscles act as stabilizers for the scapulohumeral joint?
supraspinatus and infraspinatus
What are the attachments and action for the biceps brachii muscle?
Supraglenoid tubercle to the radial tuberosity and its action is to extend the shoulder joint and flex the elbow joint
Poor hoof balance can effect spinal manipulation by
making the restrictions recur quickly i.e. the adjustments will not last
The origins and insertions of the scalene are
C4-C7 to first rib
Is it possible for a cervical adjustment to improve a distal limb lameness?
Yes
Restrictions of the hyoid also affect the _____________ joint.
Tempormandibular
As the front limb extends during weight-bearing the carpal bones go in
Dorsal Translation
A horse that braces his brachiocephalicus pushes the larynx in to the tongue. What other structure will be affected?
Hyoid
Cranial nerve XI innervates
Brachiocephalic muslce
T/FIncreasing nociception and perpetuating inflammatory factor are two ways the sympathetics can promote the subluxation complex
T
What motions are possible in the distal interphalangeal joint (coffin joint)?
flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, rotation and translation only
Which cervical motion segment (unit) has facets angled almost horizontally so that your line of correction needs to be lateral to medial?
C6/7
Low gamma gain can lead to tendon injury
outside of the normal range of motion
The left TMJ is painful to palpation, the restriction is most likely on the _____________.
right
Which muscle fills the dorsal arch of the atlas?
Obliquus capitis caudalis
What is the main action of the triceps muscle?
Extend the elbow
The stretch shortening cycle is
eccentric loading of the muscle just prior to concentric action to increase the force produced
Shunt stability is
Ability to contract the core muscles before a movement begins
How does head position affect the sympathetics?
lowering the head stimulates the parasympathetics and calms the sympathetics
Which mechanoreceptors inhibit or cause relaxation to the muscle that they are in?
GTOs
To adjust a lateral scapula you must be on a bale on the side opposite the restriction.
FALSE
Why does a horse lower its center of gravity when working, especially when the base of support is small?
To increase stability
During a jump, when is the trajectory of flight determined?
At take off
