Q

Lateral flexion is greatest where?

A

cervical then thoracic spine (thoracic is limited by ribs)

24
Q

Lateral flexion causes rotation in the VB. Which vertebra rotate ipsilaterally and which are contralateral?

A

ipsilateral C2-T6
contralateral T6-L5

25
Q

What is the CPP of the cervical spine

A

full extension

26
Q

What is the capsular pattern of the cervial spine?

A

Lateral flexion, rotation, extension

27
Q

Which vertebra have bifid SPs?

A

C2-C6

28
Q

Uncinate processes are on which vertebra?

A

C3-T1

29
Q

What ligament connects the occiput to C2?

A

Apical ligament

30
Q

What is the orientation of cervical facets?

A

45 degrees to horizontal plane

31
Q

Flex/Ex is maximized where in the cervical spine?

A

Flex C5/6
Ex C4/5

32
Q

In cervical spine, lateral flexion is coupled with VB rotation in what direction?

A

Ipsilateral

33
Q

Atlanto-occipital is what type of jt?

A

Biaxial condyloid synovial

34
Q

What are the articulating surfaces of the atlanto-occiputal jt?

A

convex occipital condyles of the occiput
concave superior facets of C1

35
Q

What are the arthrokinematics of the atlanto-occipital jt?

A

Convex on concave, thus roll & glide in opposite directions.

36
Q

What is unique about the atlanto-occipital jt capsule?

A

There are 2, one the left, one on the right

37
Q

What does the atlanto-occipital membrane contain?

A

The anterior and posterior bands

38
Q

What are the movements of the atlanto-occipital jt?

A

Predominantly flex/ex
some lateral flexion and rotation, limited by bones

39
Q

How does the occiput move during flexion and extension?

A

Posterior/superior during flexion
Anterior/inferior during extension

40
Q

What are the arthrokinematics of the medial atlanto-axial jt?

A

Concave atlas moves around convex dens, so same direction

41
Q

Ribs articulate posteriorly with?

A

It’s own Vb and the one above, except for ribs 1, 11 and 12 which only articulate with their own VB

42
Q

Which ribs don’t articulate with their TVP?

A

Ribs 11 and 12

43
Q

Costovertebral and costotransverse jts are classified as what type?

A

non-axial plane synovial. Slight gliding movements

44
Q

Costovertebral and costotransverse jts are classified as what type?

A

non-axial plane synovial. Slight gliding movements

45
Q

What does the radiate ligament limit?

A

Posterior displacement of the the head of the rib

46
Q

The facets of thoracic vertebra are oriented how?

A

60 degrees to the horizontal plane

47
Q

Which way to thoracic vertebra rotate in lateral flexion?

A

T1-T6 ipsilateral rotation
T7-T12 contralateral rotation

48
Q

What are the true, false, and floating ribs?

A

1-7 true ribs
8-10 false ribs
11-12 floating ribs

49
Q

Rib humping occurs on which side of the scoliotic curve?

A

the convex side

50
Q

What is the CPP of the lumbar spine?

A

full extension

51
Q

What is the capsular pattern of the lumbar spine?

A

lateral rotation, rotation, extension

52
Q

What is the capsular pattern of the lumbar spine?

A

lateral rotation, rotation, extension

53
Q

What is the orientation of the facets in the lumbar spine?

A

L1 directly in the true sagittal plane
L2-L4 semi-sagittal plane
L5 is in the frontal plane to limit movement on the sacrum

54
Q

What are the movements of the lumbar spine?

A

Flex/ex - increases inferiorly
Lateral flexion and rotation - mostly from intervertebral discs.

55
Q

What is sacral counternutation?

A

Posterior tilt of the sacral promontory
