What is the motion palpation for an AS Occiput?
Bilaterally fixed Occipital glide
What are 2 static palpation findings suggesting an AS Occiput?
- -Increased tension in subocciptal muscles
- -Pain over the nuchal lines bilaterally
What are 3 signs/symptoms of an AS Occiput?
- -Irritable
- -Breastfeed poorly
- -Disturbed sleeping habits
What is the motion palpation finding for a PS-RS or PS-LS Occiput?
Restricted Occipital lateral flexion
What are 2 static findings observed for PS-RS or PS-LS Occiput?
- -Pain over the ipsilateral nuchal line
- -Increased tension in suboccipital muscles
What is a visual postural finding for a PS-RS, PS-LS Occiput?
“High ear” (elevated mastoid)
What motion palpation finding is associated w/ an Atlas finding?
Restricted lateral flexion at C1/C2
What are 2 static palpation findings for an Atlas finding?
- -Tenderness over the styloid process (side of laterality)
- -Posterior arch (side of posterior rotation)
If you suspect an Atlas subluxation what will the infants posture be?
Tend to hold their head opposite the side of subluxation
What is the CP for a C1 listing?
Tip of index finger
What is the SCP for a C1 listing?
TVP on side of laterality
What is the Moro response?
Infant crystal 15-20 seconds following adjustment
How can you have an ESL/ESR (relative to C3) for infants?
Underdeveloped uncinates
Where will pain be felt for a C2 P listing?
Pain over both the spinous and both laminae
Where will pain be felt for a C2 PLS/PRS listing?
Pain at the lateral/inferior tip of the spinous and OPPOSITE articular pillar
Where will pain be felt for a C2 ESL/ESR listing?
Pain at the lateral/inferior tip of the spinous and IPSILATERAL articular pillar
When do the joints of Lusaka begin to develop?
6-9 years of age
What is the CP and SCP for C2-C7 adjustments?
Tip of index finger on articular pillar
How far should you rotate the head for C2-C7?
25-30*
What should you do if laterally bending the neck over contact finger, but no release is felt?
Apply a light thrust
What is the adjustment technique for the Thoracic spine?
Double Thumb (DTH)
At what age is not recommended for children to receive an Anterior adjustment in the Thoracics?
Under 3 years of age
What technique should be used for L1-L3 segments?
DTH - contact mammillary processes
What is the LOC for L1-L3 DTH setups?
P-A, I-S thrust
What is the CP and SCP for L4-L5 DTH setups?
–CP = spinous process
–SCP = side of spinous rotation
What is the SSP for L4-L5 DTH setups?
Contralateral mammillary process
What is the the thrust for L4-L5 DTH setups?
Thrust toward the spinous process
What is the procedure for Gluteal Cleft Deviations (infants)?
Pinch Gluteal checks together, cleft should be midline
What does the gluteal cleft deviation indicate?
- -Side of PI ilium
- -Side of anterior-inferior sacral movement at the lumbosacral junction
What does holding infant upright, legs dangling indicate, when evaluating posture?
IN/EX pelvis
What are 3 things to visualize when evaluation SI posture analysis?
- -Gluteal hunching/flattening
- -Sacral tilt
- -Motion restrictions
Some recommend that side posture should be reserved for children of what age?
> 1 year
What is the direction of thrust for prone diversified SI joints?
Direction appropriate to correct PI, AS, IN or EX
What is the procedure for SI side posture adjustments?
- -Keep spine neutral
- -Modify CP to thumb pad
