Midterm VSC/PART Flashcards
A conservative and conscientious form of health care that concerns itself (primarily) with the functional integrity of the nervous system.
Chiropractic
An aberration in biomechanical spinal anatomy, such that the functional integrity of the nervous system is compromised (compromised capacity to adapt to stimulus).

myopathology
Which part of the VSC deals with position/motion?
kinesiopathology
History, Static/Motion palpation, ROM, posture, and imaging are all ways to evaluate for which part of the VSC?
kinesiopathology
History, palpation, motor exam, posture, s=and specialized studies (EMG) are all ways to evaluate for which part of the VSC?
myopathology
History, Instrumentation, DTRs, sensory/motor exam, and specialized studies (Imaging/NCV) are all ways to evaluate for which part of the VSC?
Neuropathology
History, palpation, imaging, and blood chemistry are all ways to evaluate which part of the VSC?
histopathology
When asking a patient “what are your named differential diagnoses,” which part of the VSC are you evaluating?
pathophysiology
Who devised the PART system?
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
What is the purpose of the PART system?
to validate the necessity of chiropractic care and to document this necessity
