Midterm Flashcards
What did the study on students in toggle show?
As we progressed in the curriculum our speed reduced as we gained conrol
What is the unique feature of Force/Time plot in toggle
2-peak feature of force-time plot unique to toggle recoil manipulation with a drop mechanism
Restoration of the atlas in alignment showed a what to BP
sustained reduction similar to that of a 2-drug combination therapy
What is health
state of optimal physical, emotional and social well-being
What receives afferent postural input from the dorsal neck musculature
Intermediate nucleus
Where does interference occur with an atlas subluxation
between the intermediate nucleus and the nucleus tractus solitaruis
What reflex is altered with atlas subluxation and BP
baroreceptor reflex
What do the triceps give you in an adjustment
speed
what do the pecs give you in an adjustment
depth
What are the 3 upper cervical theories
dysafferentation/dysefferentation
dentate ligament theory
fluid dynamics theory
What is the dysafferentation/dysefferentation theory
Broad umbrella theory about signals in and out
What is the dentate ligament theory
States that tension/torsion of the dentate ligaments can affect the cord causing dysfunction through a series of anatomical features
4 structures at level of atlas
dura mater
Pia mater
Dentate ligaments
Myodural bridge
What does the myodural bridge form between
rectus capitis posterior minor attaching and dura mater
What is the fluid dynamics theory
States that every fluid should be in equilibrium
CSF, Lymph, blood (o2, immunity)
Which theory do the 5 pathologies fit
fluid dynamics theory
What are the 8 exercises we do to warm up
hamstring shoulder roll thumb web stretch (grasp) wrist (4) arched hand torque pectoralis (2) triceps
5 evaluation procedures in chiropractic
xray instrumentation leg check palpation symptomatology
pp
patient placement
ds
doctor stance
cp
contact point
scp
segmental contact point
ch
contact hand
sh
stabilization hand
tq
torque
tp
tissue pull
ri
roll in
loc
line of correction
what is accommodation
The need of the doctor to alter body position in order to allow the minimal and equal elbow bend.
what is adjustment
Delivery of a specific dynamic thrust to a neurologically influenced joint complex.
arch
Position of doctor’s hand to allow a specific stabilized pisiform contact.
depth
Distance travelled by the contact point during the thrust prior to retraction or follow through (pectoralis musculature).
speed
Velocity of the segmental contact point (triceps).
toggle
knee-like joint that transmits pressures at right angles. It has two arms that are hinged together at an angle. A force applied at the hinge, causing the angle to straighten, produces a much greater force at the end of the arms.
recoil
The vibratory or oscillatory motion of a system, due to the innate elasticity of that system in response to the application of a force until a new equilibrium is realized
