Q

Radial head

A

Felt just below the elbow joint. The head of the radial bone. You can feel it as you twist your arm outward, it should bulge towards the hand you are palpating with.

Q

Normal spine has what four curvatures?

A

•Cervical curvature (Lordosis), slightly curved in towards to front of the body
•Thoracic curvature (kyphosis), slightly curved out
•Lumbar curvature (Lordosis), curve inward
•Sacral curvature (Kyphosis), curve ever so slightly outward
Lordosis = concave
Kyphosis = convex

Q

What constitutes Acute Somatic Dysfunction?

A 
Immediate or short-term impairment or
altered function of related components
of the somatic (body framework)
system. Characterized by:
• Vasodilation

(body framework) system.
Characterized by:

Q

What are some types of tissue texture abnormalities (TTA)

A
  • Bogginess
  • Thickening
  • Stringiness
  • Ropiness
  • Firmness (hardening)
  • Temperature change
  • Moisture change
17
Q

Define Tone

A

Normal feel of muscle in the relaxed state

18
Q

Hypertonicity

A

at the extreme = spastic paralysis

19
Q

Hypotonicity

A

flaccid paralysis when no tone at all

20
Q

contraction

A

Abnormal shortening of a muscle due to fibrosis.
Most often in the tissue itself, often result of chronic condition. Muscle is no longer able to reach its full normal length.

21
Q

Spasm

A

Abnormal contraction maintained beyond physiologic need. Most often sudden and involuntary muscular contraction that
results in abnormal motion and is usually accompanied by pain and
restriction of normal function.

22
Q

Ropiness

A

Hard, firm, rope-like or cord-like muscle tone. Usually indicates a chronic condition.

23
Q

Asymmetry

A 
Absence of symmetry of
position or motion
• Dissimilarity in
corresponding parts or
organs on opposite sides
of the body that are
normally alike
• Determined by vision or
palpation
