Q

given: right short leg with the legs extended. on knee flexion, the short leg balances out with the left leg. on right cervical rotation when the legs are flexed, a short leg develops. with the legs still flexed, left cervical rotation balances the legs again. no tender nodulation is felt in the cervical spine on either side. in the supine position, there is a short leg on the right, choose the most reasonable answer?

A

ASLP C1

30
Q

sacral base rotation

A
  • SCP’s: sacral apex and medial PSIS
  • LOC: scissors thrust, M-L, and L-M
  • 3-5 thrusts
  • cross involved leg (lower) over the leg that went higher
  • done on side of higher leg
31
Q

T/F: SAL and SAR are never determined using motion palpation.

A

true

33
Q

posterior rocked ischium’s thompson indicator is ternderness at what body part?

A

Q

posterior rocked ischium

A

  • SSP: Toll in like toggle
  • LOD: P-A, S-I with a roll
  • 3-5 thrusts
35
Q

testing for IN or EX ilium in thompson is done in what position?

A
  • supine with knee flexed to about 90º, arm out directly in front of them
  • IN ilium, push away then muscle test arm, arm goes weak
  • EX ilium push toward midline then muscle test arm, arm goes weak
36
Q

adjusting the IN ilium:

A
  • supine
  • thumb web at lateral posterior distal thigh
  • stabilizing at the ASIS
37
Q

adjusting the EX ilium

A
  • supine

- LOC: AP, ML

A

-PI Ilium
