MSK Flashcards
How do you treat hypomobility?
joint and soft tissue mobilization
What is treated with stabilization movements?
Hypermobility and instability
OA movement occipital condyles on atlas what movements occur here
movement include nodding (forward and backward bending) and side bending
AA atlas on axis, what is the primary motion and how much of it occurs at the AA?
primary motion: rotation
50% of cervical
What are principle movements?
upslides and downslides at facet joint
translatory movements at lateral inter-body articulations
What is the degree orientation for the mid cervical spine?
45 degrees
What is the degree orientation for the mid thoracic spine?
60 degrees
With forward nodding what happens arthrokinematically?
- occiput rolls foward on atlas, glides posteriorly
- atlas translates foward on axis
- axis translate foward and up on C3
With backward nodding what happens arthrokinematically?
Occiput rolls back on atlas and glides anteriorly
- Atlas translates backward on axis
- Axis translates back and down on C3
With side bending what happens arthrokinematically?
Primarily at OA
Example of SBR:
• Occiput rolls Right on atlas and glides Left
Atlas translates Right
With rotation what happens arthrokinematically?
Primarily at AA
• Example of rotation Right:
Occiput and atlas rotate to Right on axis
Atlas translates to the Left
Physiological motion
combines sidebend and rotation to the same side
Non-physiological motion
SB - head is forward
Rotation - head remains upright
What is mid-cervical facet capsular restriction on left facet?
look at the lack of upslide restrictions at right rotation, right side bend, and forward bend limited with possible left deivation
subcranial facet capsular pattern for forward nodding?
deviate away from restriction
subcranial facet capsular pattern for backward nodding?
deviate towards the restriction
In mid cervical vs upper cervical involvement a limitation in side bend to right maybe b/c of limitation to what?
limitation in mid cervical right downslide or left upslide
limited right side glide of OA and left rotation of AA
PIVM graded as
normal, hypermobile, hypomobile
Cervical PAIVMS test for what
assess for resistance to motion and pain provocation
Patient is presented with hypertonicity and decreased ROM from an injury/trauma/dsyfunction…what are they presenting with?
involuntary muscle guarding
Patient is presented with pt apprehension and decreased AROM/PROM from fear of pain/pain…what are they presenting with?
voluntary muscle guarding
Patient is presented with loss of muscle bulk and weakness from lack of use/stiff joints?
muscle atrophy
Patient is presented with normal muscle tone and loss of flexibility/ROM and caused by muscle held in shortened posture and think posture?
adaptive shortening
facet restriction causes?
immobility and resolved joint synovitis and hemarthorsis
facet restriction signs and symptoms?
decreased ROM in facet capsular pattern
patient is presented to you with head held at angle away from midline and pain with DOWNSLIDE. Patient say she slept weird wtf is wrong with her?
Wry neck
