Affects respiratory function
above 75 affects cardiac function
Konstantin exercises
Part of conservative management for scoliosis
Short leg affect on innominate
Posterior rotation
Backward Sacral torsion rules
(Shallow Sulcus) on (Axis)
opposite on opposite
L5 points down at the axis
L5 rotated to axis
SPRING+
Forward Sacral torsion rules
(Shallow Sulcus) on (Axis)
Same on Same

L5 rotates away from axis
NO SPRING
What direction does the wrist move when the carrying angle increases?
Adduction
What direction does the ulna move when the carrying angle increases?
Abduction
What direction does the radial head glide upon supination, pronation?
Supination = Anterior glide
Pronation = Posterior glide
Where does the radial head go with FOOSH?
Posterior
(backward fall it goes anterior)
Movement caused by pronated ankle
Dorsiflexion, Eversion, Abduction and anterior glide of fibular head
Movement caused by anterior glide of fibular head
Posterior distal tibia
Talus ER
Everted, dorsiflexed foot
Purpose of CV4 Technique
Increase CRI amplitude
Appendix CP
Tip of R12
Lamina of T11
Prostate CP
Lateral, Posterior IT band
Cardiac CP
2nd ICS near sternum
Respiratory CP
2nd and 3rd ICS for upper lung
4th for lower lung
HEENT CP
3 on the first rib
2 on the second rib
Primary movement of OA
Flexion and extension
Primary movement of AA
Rotation
3 movements of the foot with ankle supination
Plantarflexion
Inversion
Adduction
What direction does the fibular head glide in ankle supination?
Anterior
(posterior in pronation)
How does the cranium move with flexion?
Midline bones flex
Paired bones ER
AP decreases
Counternutation (sacrum moves posterior)
How does the cranium move with extension?
Midline bones extend
Paired bones IR
AP increases
Nutation (sacrum moves anterior)
Physiologic cranial strains
Torsion
SB / Rotation
Non-physiologic cranial strains
Lateral and vertical compression
Flexion and extension (if they move unequally)
Cranial torsion
Physiologic AP Axis
Sphenoid and Occiput rotate in opposite directions
Named fro superior Greater Wing of Sphenoid
Cranial lateral strain
Non-physiologic 2x Vertical axes
Named for deviation of sphenoid (L or R)
Rhomboid strain (parallelogram)
Cranial vertical strain
Non-physiologic 2x Transverse axes
Superior: Sphenoid cephalad, Occiput caudad
Inferior: Sphenoid caudad, Occiput cephalad
Cranial compression strain
Non-physiologic
Sphenoid and occiput compress together
Cranial Flexion / Extension strain
Non-physiologic when not moving
Named for Greater movement
Flexion: SBS cephalad, decreased extension
Extension: SBS caudad, decreased flexion
