Key Dysfuction and Sequencing Flashcards
The key dysfunction is designated as the area with the ________.
Greatest restriction
Regional and intersegmental motion evaluations are the most important ________ test for somatic dysfunction.
Functional
Pain does not always tell you where the dysfunction is. Often times it will present at areas of ________ and not the restricted area.
Hypermobility
Acute pain is carried on ________ fibers and chronic pain is carried on ________ fibers.
Aδ, C
________ is the hydrostatic skeleton of support of the body, and together with bones and joints are organized into a ________ format.
Fascia, tensegritous
What fascia interconnects all areas of the body?
Thoracolumbar fascia
When percussing musculature, higher pitches equate to areas of ________ tension.
Increased (tighter muscles)
For Zink patterns, name the associated dysfunction for each level:
OA:
C2-C6:
T1-T5:
T6-T12:
L1-L2:
L3-L5:
Left innominate:
OA: F SR RL
C2-C6: F SR RR
T1-T5: N SL RR
T6-T12: N SR RL
L1-L2: N SR RL
L3-L5: N SL RR
Left innominate: posterior
(note: the normal Zink pattern is left, right, left, right for the OA, CT, TL, LS junctions, respectively)
With a dysfunctional psoas, hypermobility will develop between the ________ and ________ vertebral levels.
L5, S1
Low back pain could potentially arise from cervical dysfunction due to tension on the ________, which runs from the skull to the sacrum.
Dura
The key rib in an inhalation dysfunction is the ________ of the group.
Lowest
Regional range of motion is used to determine where the ________ restriction occurs.
Greatest
Physiological locking occurs when ________ (number) motions have been introduced.
Three
On palpatory examination, ________ movements should be used.
Slow sweeping
Pain is usually located where the body is attempting to ________ and not at the area of greatest restriction.
Compensate
