LOC - ML

17
Q

Anterior Carpal

A

SCP - cranial aspect of the fixated carpal bone

CP - thumbs over carpus with one thumb in contact with the subluxated carpal bone

ST - so that adjuster is safe and comfortable

STAB - inherent

LOC - cranial to caudal as joint is extended slight medial to lateral for radial and second carpal bones. Slight lateral to medial for ulnar and fourth carpal bones

18
Q

Carpal Traction

A

SCP - metacarpals

STAB - distal forearm just above the carpus

adjuster grasps paw in one hand and distal forearm in other

Traction joint as you alternatively flex and extend the carpus

19
Q

Carpal Metacarpal Technique

A

STAB - with opposite hand on carpus

20
Q

Metacarpophalangeal Traction

A

SCP - cranial and caudal aspects of proximal phalanx

CP - grasp cranial and caudal aspects of proximal phalange between thumb and forefinger

LOC - to open up the joint, traction joint and flex around finger on caudal aspect of joint

STAB - maintained by grasping distal MC between thumb and forefinger

21
Q

Interphalangeal

A

SCP - distal phalanx

CP - grasp cranial and caudal aspects of distal phalanx between thumb and forefinger

LOC - open up interphalangeal joint, quick pull

STAB - is the upper phalanx or upper paw

22
Q

Superior Internally Rotated Femoral Head

23
Q

Check for and correct the _____ before adjusting the femur

A

PI ilium and any other spinal subluxations

24
Q

Inferior Externally Rotated Femoral Head

A

SCP - greater trochanter of the femur

LOC - IS extend the hip. Rock the hip and use a minor thrust to remove the subluxation. DO NOT JAME femur into acetabulum

25
Q

Check for and correct ____ before adjusting the femur

A

AS Ilium and any other spinal subluxations

26
Q

Medial Patella

A

SCP - medial patella

CP - finger tips of the cupped hand

ST - so adjuster is comfortable and safe

STAB - contacting the limb distal to the hock. Extend the limb slightly to relax the joint

LOC - ML with a SI component if necessary. Gentle pull thrust as you extend the limb.

27
Q

patellar subluxations are common in

A

small dogs

most are surgical repairs to fix underlying issue

28
Q
