Neutral Zone (of spine):

A

region of laxity around the neutral resting position of a spinal segment

19
Q

In the upper cervical spine the facets are orientated in what alignment?

A

horizontal in upper segments

20
Q

In the lower cervical spine the facets change to what position?

A

45 d in lower cervical

21
Q

Z joints/Uncovertebral joints: are made up by what anatomical process?

A

Uncinate process

22
Q

What covers articular surfaces?

A

hyaline cartilage

23
Q

What role does the meniscoid serve?

A

They fill space during joint displacement and they actively assist in the dispersal of synovial fluid

24
Q

How is the cervical spine aligned?

A

relatively horizontally (promotes rotation)

25
Q

How is the lower cervical spine aligned?

A

45 degree angle (side bending and rotation)

26
Q

How is thoracic spine aligned?

A

vertically anterior to posteriorly

27
Q

How is lumbar spine aligned?

A

vertically but in a medial-lateral

28
Q

What variables affect the motion at the spine?

A
Disc-vertebral height ratio
Compliance of the fibrocartilage
Dimension/Shape of the adjacent vertebral end plates
Age
Disease 
Gender
29
Q

Coupling:

A

Two or more individual motions are coupled when one motion is always accompanied by another motion

30
Q

Coupling in UCS:

A

opposite

31
Q

Coupling in LCS:

A

same side

32
Q

Fryette’s First Law

A

When any part of the spine is in a neutral position the side-bending of the vertebra will be to the opposite side as the rotation of the spine
Translation: when you’re standing in neutral position and you side-bend to the Right…your spine will Rotate to the left (opposite side).

33
Q

Fryette’s Second Law

A

When any part of the spine is in a position of flexion or hyperextension the side-bending of the vertebra will be to the same side as the rotation of the spine
Translation: when you flex or hyperextend your spine and you side bend to the Right…your spine will Rotate to the Right (same side

34
Q

Fryette’s Third Law

A

If motion in one plane is introduced to the spine any motion occurring in another direction is thereby restricted
Translation: If you perform one movement (flexion for example) , their won’t be as much movement in any of the other planes (sidebending for example)

35
Q

Can’t open

A

Restriction of Flex/SB/Rot to the opposite side of the pain is termed an opening restriction

36
Q

Can’t close:

A

Restriction of Ext/SB/Rot to the same side of the pain is termed a closing restriction

37
Q

Cervicoencephalic:

A

cervicocranial

38
Q

Atlanto-occiptal:

A

C0-C1

39
Q

Atlanto-axial

A

C1-C2

40
Q

Cervicobrachial

A

C3-C7

41
Q

Where does the majority of cervical rotation occur?

A

Cervicoencephalic region

42
Q

Flexion-extension of atlanto-occipital region?

A

15-20

43
Q

Side flexion of atlanto-occipital region?

A

10 degrees

44
Q

Flexion-extension of atlanto-axial region?

A

10

45
Q

Side flexion of atlanto-axial region?

A

5

46
Q

Rotation of atlanto-axial region?

A

50 (primary movement)

47
Q

Symptoms of injury to cervicobrachial region?

A
neck and/or arm pain
headaches
