MMT head and trunk Flashcards
Innervation of capital extension
suboccipital nerve C1 - T1
greater occipital nerve C1 - T1
fair and above position capital extension
prone with head over edge of table
resistance for capital extension
patient extends head by tilting chin (looks at wall)
resistance is applied over occiput towards floor
below fair position for capital extension
supine head weight supported to reduce friction
palpation for capital extension
difficult to palpate
innervation of cervical extension
C1 - C8
fair and above position for cervical extension
prone with head over edge of table
resistance for cervical extension
patient extends head without tilting chin (looks at floor)
resistance is applied over parieto-occipital area towards floor
below fair position for cervical extension
supine - pushes into surface
palpation for cervical extension
distal to occiput at level of cervical vertebrae
position for combined extension
prone with head over edge of table
resistance for combined extension
patient extends head (look at ceiling)
below fair position for combined extension
partial range
palpation for combned extension
base of occiput and cervical region
innervation for capital flexion
C1 - C3
fair and above position for capital flexion
supine head supported by table
resistance for capital flexion
patient tucks chin
resistance under chin by cupping mandible in, up and backward direction
palpation for capital flexion
difficult due to carotid arteries
innervation of cervical flexion
C2 - C8
Cranial nerve XI
fair and above cervical flexion
supine head supported by table
resistance for cervical flexion
patient lifts head off table, keeping eyes on ceiling
resistance over forehead with two fingers towards table
