Lumbar, Thoracic, Ribs, Vertebra Mechanics (for CPA 3) Flashcards
In what parts of the spine are there kyphoses? Lordoses?
thoracic and sacral kyphoses cervical and lumbar lordoses
How are the cervical superior facets oriented?
BUM backward, upward, medial
How are the thoracic superior facets oriented?
BUL backward, upward, lateral
How are the lumbar superior facets oriented?
BM backward, medial
What are the 5 spinal ligaments you should know?
anterior longitudinal ligament posterior longitudinal ligament ligamentum flava interspinous ligaments intertransverse ligaments
What does the posterior longitudinal ligament connect?
posterior aspect of the vertebral bodies
What does the ligamentum flava connect?
the laminae of adjacent vertebra
What does the iliolumbar ligament connect?
the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae and the ilium
How is excessive or restricted motion named?
in reference to the vertebra above in a functional vertebral unit (excess motion of L2 is motion of L2 on L3)
When were Fryette’s principles published?
1918 = first 2 principles of spinal motion
What are type one mechanics?
TONGO Type One Neutral Grouped vertebra Opposite sidebending and rotation
What are type two mechanics?
TTOSS Type Two nOt neutral Single segment Same direction
What is Fryette’s third principle?
initiating movement of a vertebral segment in any plane of motion will modify the mvnt in other planes of motion
For which parts of the spine are Fryette’s first two principles applicable?
thoracic and lumbar spine only
What spinal landmarks are at the level of the spine of the scapula?
T3 spinous and transverse processes
What spinal landmarks are at the level of the inferior angle of the scapula?
spinous process of T7 transverse process of T8
