Mopal module 1 Flashcards
loss of normal motion within normal ROM in a joint
subluxation
a way of referencing the subluxaiton as a bone in space and defining which way to correct it
listings
models designed to give us a simple way of looking at it and documenting it clinically rather than an absolute biomechanical and physiological representation
systems
within normal joint motion/limits
ligaments injured but intact - does not involve complete tear
alters the normal motion of vertebrae involved
can be visible or not on static imaging (x-ray)
chiropractic subluxation
incomplete luxation
outside normal joint motioin/limits
ligaments/joint capsule torn/disrupted
always visible on static imaging (x-ray)
medical subluxation
end range testing
dynamic
the bone out of place model
palpation
spinous out of midline
taught ant ender fibers
LOC based on the model
static model
biomechanically sound model
palpation end range testing
healthy joints have a springy end feel
fixated/subluxated joints have a hard or restricted end feel
LOC based on the direction that’s fixated
Dynamic model
determine where lack of motion is
dynamic
references the position of the spinous process
palmer/gonstead
references the direction of restricted motion - the body
gillet/faye
thoracic down to lumbar to pelvic
gonstead spinous listing
cervical listings
body listing
currently only uses the static palmer/gonstead model
the AVCA
originated from the biped
easy to understand
it’s just a model
static
based on the biomechanics of the patient
requires time to master some of the finer palpation skills
dynamic
static palpation is used for
identifying landmarks
identifying specific vertebrae and other bony projections
motion palpation is used when
identifying the location/direction of the subluxation
