39
Q

What can we use to look at leg length on a prone leg check?

A

(need “good shoes” on)

  • can use medial malleolus
  • visualize like points in areas that don’t wear
40
Q

How does one perform a prone leg check?

A
  1. Place thumbs on bottom of shoe and fingers up lateral portion of ankle
  2. Take inversion/eversion out
  3. apply headward pressure to “seat” shoe to foot
  4. axially load leg and don’t introduce any plantar/dorsiflexion
  5. visualize area of shoe that is equally comparable
41
Q

What component of the PART system does instrumentation fill?

A

“T” - Tissue tone

42
Q

T/F. The use of instrumentation tells us where to adjust.

A

FALSE!!! Tells us when to adjust, NOT WHERE! Need to do further evaluation for the where

43
Q

When was the first Neurocalometer (NCM) introduced?

A

1924 by BJ Palmer

44
Q

Who developed the “Pattern System” of analysis and when?

A

BJ Palmer and Lyle Sherman D.C. in 1930’s

45
Q

Who developed the “Break System” of analysis and when?

A

Clarence Gonstead D.C. in 1950’s

46
Q

What does instrumentation help us measure?

A
  • thermoregulation
  • minute heat diff along spine
  • vasoconstriction and vasodilation as indicator of neurlogic dysfunction
  • dermal thermic asymmetry
47
Q

Temperature changes causes CNS to message what structure?

A

hypothalamus

48
Q

In order to cool down what does the body do?

A

sweat, vasodilation (SNS)

49
Q

In order to warm up, what does the body do?

A

vasoconstriction (SNS), thermogenesis (Mechanical-shivering)(hormonal-metabolism)

50
Q

Are warm receptors myelinated or unmyelinated? What about cold receptors?

A

warm receptors = unmyelinated

cold recepors = myelinated

51
Q

T/F. Skin temperatures fluctuate, but are symmetrical paraspinally in healthy partients

52
Q

What will vertebral subluxations produce when it comes to skin temperatures?

A

will produce asymmetrical presentations and/or patterns

53
Q

Epinephrine is released to do what to blood vessels?

What causes blood vessels to dilate?

A

constrict

absence of epinephrine

54
Q

If we nerve block a specific nerve (taking control away) what would we expect the areas that it is supplying to do temperature wise? Why?

A

get warmer–> b/c in presence of SNS (release Epi), the blood vessels constrict; therefore in ABSENCE of SNS, there is NO Epi, and blood vessels will therefore be dilated and would increase warmth

55
Q

The nerve controls blood flow, and the instruments are measuring that blood flow has been effected, what is our job then?

A

to ID what is being effected and how that blood flow has changed

56
Q

On the patients encounter, when would Static Palpation come into play?

A

(step 4)

  1. history
  2. exam
  3. instrumentation
    * *4. static and motion palpation
  4. diagnosis imaging if warranted
  5. diagnosis and prognosis
  6. treatment
57
Q

What are the six Static Palpation Components?

A
  1. Skin (visualize, temp, sebaceous, sudoriferous)
  2. Edema
  3. Muscle tonicity (superficial)
  4. Muscle Tonicity (deep)
  5. Tissue prominence (Bone)
  6. Palpable Tenderness
58
Q

What part of Static Palpation is paraspinal palpation for increased tissue density from possible osseous misalignment fall under?

A

Tissue Prominence (bone)

59
Q

Side of tissue prominence has possible correlation to what?

A

side of posterior body rotation (always opposite of spinous rotation)

60
Q

For tissue prominence where are we palpating along the spine?

A

bilateral lamina, transverse, or mammillary processess

61
Q

For tissue prominence, in total how many parts do we end up pushing on?

A

4 (two per each segment)

62
Q

For palpable tenderness how many parts do we end up pushing on?

A

6 (3 per segment: lamina/TVP/mammillary and spinous)

63
Q

If one has palpable tenderness, then what?

A

have them rank it 0-10

always compare to other parts

64
Q

Palpable tenderness will always be _____ in nature.

A

Sclerotogenous = pain is pertaining to ligaments, tendons, discs, periosteum, and apophyseal joints

65
Q

What components of the VSC are we testing with Static Palpation?

A

Kinesiopathology (postion/motion) – tissue prominence
Neuropathology (pain) – palpable tenderness
Myopathology (tone)–Muscle Tonicity Superficial and Deep
Histopathology (edema/inflam.) – edema, temp, skin color)

66
Q

What components of the PART system does Static Palpation cover?

A

P-(pain) – palpable tenderness
A- (asymmetry)–tissue prominence
T-(tissue and tone) –edema, muscle tonicity (superficial and deep), skin changes…
