OMM Flashcards
Cranial flexion/extension: axis + motion of paired bones for each
Axis: sagittal.
Motion of paired bones: IR during extension, ER during flexion
Cranial torsion: axis and motion
Sagittal axis, opposite motions around it
Sidebending rotation cranial: axis and motions
Axes: 1 sagittal, 2 vertical
Motion: same around sagittal, opposite around vertical
Lateral and vertical strain axes and motion
Lateral strain: 2 parallel vertical axes.
Vertical strain: 2 parallel transverse axes.
Motion: same direction around both axes.
MC Zink pattern
LRLR
Foramen transversarum
Holes for vertebral A
What makes C1 and C2 unique?
C1: no SP or vertebral body
C2: dens, which articulates with C1
OA main motion + S/R motion
Main: F/E. S/R in opposite directions
AA main motion
Rotation
C2-7 main motion & S/R motion
Main motion: sidebending. S/R in same direction
The _____ ligament can narrow, causing weakness and herniation of the nucleus pulposus
Posterior longitudinal***
Pain in L spine worse with flexion vs extension: two major DDx
Worse with flexion: herniated disc
Worse with extension: spinal stenosis
What does L spine do to compensate for a short limb?
SART
Psoas symptom signs
- Extension restricted / pain standing up straight
- Pelvic side shift
- Positive Thomas test
- SD in L1 or L2
Why are R1, 2, 10, 11/12 abnormal?
R1: no angle
R2: extra tuberosity
R10: Only articulates with 1 vertebra
R11/12: no tubercles
True, false, floating rib #s
True: 1-7
False: 8-10
Floating: 11,12
Rib motions in three groups 1
Pump handle: 1-5
Bucket handle: 6-10
Caliper: 11-12
The _____ ligament creates the greater and lesser sciatic foramen
Sacrospinous L
The ____ ligament is the first to become painful with lumbosacral decompensation
Iliolumbar L
Four motions that occur along different axes of the sacrum
- Superior sacral axis: respiratory and craniosacral motion
- Middle axis: postural motion
- Inferior axis: innominate motion
Nerve that innervates all arm flexors vs extensors
Flexors: median N
Extensors: radial N
Two syndromes that occur due to median nerve issues
CTS, pronator syndrome
