HVLA Flashcards
Who was the first African-American to be elected President of the AOA and when?
William G. Anderson, DO; 1994
Did the AOA beat the AMA to having the first black president?
Yes by 1 year
What was William Anderson best know for?
Coalition of Desegregation for the Albany Movement in Albany, Georgia 1961
What do we have in normal barrier mechanics?
- Physiologic Barrier
- Anatomic Barrier
- Neutral Point
What SD occurs, what happens to motion?
It is restricted in one direction forming the restrictive barrier with a new neutral point
What 2 things do we do for this new SD?
Engage barrier and thrust or move the joint to the new neutral point to normalize the motion
What does direct mean?
Engaging the barrier
Who proposed the 3rd motion law?
CR Nelson, DO
What does Principle 3 say?
When one motion is introduced, it modifies the others; i.e. when flexion or extension is introduced, the amount of sidebending and/or rotation is changed
What do we apply Fryette and Nelson to ONLY?
T1-L5
What do C2-C7 classify as?
Type 2 like (some type 3)
What 3 bones do not follow Fryette?
- C1 (atlas)
- C2 (axis)
- Sacrum
What MUST we do for HVLA?
Thrust along the plane of the facets
Describe the Cervicals and their direction
“Shingle like” - superiorly anteriorly, inferiorly posteriorly
Describe the Thoracics and their direction
Facet plane - coronal posteriorly
Describe the Lumbars
Sagittal
Describe the Sacroiliac
L-shaped with a coronal component
Describe the OA
Occiput on atlas - “bowl-like” introduces sidebending and rotation to opposite sides
What is AA and how is its movements?
Atlas on axis - movement about the dens, rotational
Describe SI
Sacroiliac - coronal component, sidebending/rotation to opposite sides
