Midline Bones And Competency 2 Flashcards
How do the palatines move in SBS flexion?
External rotation
When the SBS is in flexion, what does the ethmoid follow?
What follows the sphenoid’s motion?
Occiput
Vomer
Does rotation occur towards or away from the side of convexity in rotation/Side-bending SD?
Towards
Torsion axis?
Plane of motion?
A/P
coronal
Why does the spinal membranes cause sacral motion with the CRI?
The dura
What causes lateral strain pattern?
How?
Trauma
Lateral force to one side of anterior cranium or opposite side of posterior cranium
How do the dr’s hands move during right torsion strain pattern?
Hands twist in opposite directions, Right thumb points back at Dr.
Left thumb points away
Suck your thumb for which side is the torsion
In what strain pattern do the Occiput and sphenoid rotate in the same direction?
Vertical strain
Right torsion strain pattern means what?
As SBS flexion occurs, the right greater sphenoid wing moves cephalad while the right Occiput moves caudad
Superior vertical strain, how do the Occiput and sphenoid move?
Thumbs do what?
Rotate anteriorly around their transverse axis
Thumbs move away from physician
What changes in other bones are occurring in torsion patterns?
Toilet Paper MOFTS
Temporal and parietal bones - external rot. On side of torsion
Mandible - shifted towards side of torsion
Orbit - smaller on side of torsion
Falx cerebri - ant. End rotates w/sphenoid, post. W/Occiput
Tentorium cerebelli - Sidebend same direction as Occiput rotates
Spinal dura - inferior on side of low Occiput
Vertical strain axis?
Plane of motion?
Transverse
Sagittal
VTS
What is the motion of the apex of the sacrum in SBS flexion?
Anterior
Torsion is named for what?
Position of the greater wing of the sphenoid during cranial flexion
If a baby is delivered with forceps, what shape will it take?
Due to what pattern?
Parallelogram
Lateral strain
