A

MOVE LEAD ROPE TO OUTSIDE RING

SCP - the caudal ventral aspects of BOTH atlas wings
CP - the thenar eminence of BOTH hands
ST - in front of facing the horse

Q

Atlas Posterior Right/Left

A

SCP - dorsal arch of atlas on side of posteriority
CP - without interlocking fingers, wrap fingers loosely around dorsal arch with center of laced fingers on teh side of atlas posteriority. The opposite hand is placed on top.
ST - adjuster stands in front of and facing horse with horse’s head on adjusters shoulder opposite the subluxation (with a left posteriority, the head is on adjusters right shoulder, the right hand is the contact hand with left hand on top) adjuster assumes fencer’s stance. Extend head to bring the joint to tension. The horse will naturally slightly laterally flex and rotate its head. Don’t fight this but let the horse put its head where it’s most comfortable
STAB - inherenct in standing horse
LOC - PA IS LM, a straight line PULL towards the adjusters episternal notch

Q

C2 Posterior

A

SCP - the bilateral lamina junctions of the axis
CP - either thenar eminence, opposite hand on top
ST - in front of facing the horse on either side. Rest the horse’s mandible on adjuster’s shoulder and AVOID PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE TRACHEA
STAB - bring joint to tnesion by slightly stretching and extending the upper cervical spine
LOC - PA IS with a slight inferior to superior scoop

17
Q

Pain at the poll
Decreased flexion at poll
Head not vertical in work

A

upper cervical subluxation

18
Q

Ear sensitivity
Heavy on the bit
Head shaking

A

upper cervical subluxation

19
Q

one eye or ear may appear higher

hard to halter or bridle

A

upper cervical subluxation

20
Q

difference in the psace between the atlas and mandible bilaterally

A

upper cervical subluxation

21
Q

obiquus capitis cranialis (C1 wing to mastoid and occiput) tight on side of posteriority

tender upon palpation - head shyness - atlas posterior on the left will usually be

A

atlas superior on the right

tender side is side of posteriority

22
Q

obliquus capitis caudalis (SP C2 to wing of C1) tight on one side or the other

A

usually accompanies C2 posterior

23
Q

fixation or restriction of meovement in the joints of the occiput/atlas and or atlas/axis motion units

A

upper cervical subluxation

24

26
Q

facets change from 45 to coronal at

A

C7/T1

27
Q

Cervical Body Right/Left (C3-5)

A

SCP - lamina pedicle junction on the side of body rotation
CP - pisiform of INFERIOR hand
ST - on the side of body rotation. Lower and laterally flex neck to the side of body rotation
STAB - obtained by bringing the joint to tnesion - lower in the neck, more lateral flexion
LOC - LM 45 degrees OUT from the axis of teh spine, IS PA 45 degrees UP from the sagittal plane of the spine. Angle increases the lower in the neck you go

28
Q

Uglee Technique (C6-7)

A

SCP - lamina pedicle junction of C6 or C7 on the side of body rotation
CP - flat part of the knuckles of INFERIOR hand go under scapula and contact vertebra
ST - adjuster and assistant both stand on side of body rotation - DOC HOLDS LEAD ROPE
STAB - assistant flexes front leg and pulls it caudally. use superior hand to bring joint to tension by flexing and lowering neck and head
LOC - LM
