27
Q

Short Leg Syndrome

results in?

How is the Ferguson’s Lumbosacral angle affected?

A

results in sacral base unleveling
vertebral sidebending and rotation
innominate rotation

increases lumbosacral angle

28
Q

Flexible pt?

Max heel lift possible?

A

If pt. is fragile: start with 1/16” (1.6 mm) and increase by that much every 2 weeks

If pt. is flexible: start with 1/8” (3.2 mm) and increase by that much every 2 weeks

Max heel lift possible: 1/2”

41
Q

Tx. Posterior Fibular Head

A

PEED

Evert, ExtRot, Dorsiflex

42
Q

What happens to fibular head when you dorsiflex the foot? When you plantarflex the foot?

A

Dorsiflex –> Fibular head moves forward

Plantarflex –> Fibular head moves backward

43
Q

What is the Q angle?

What is the Q angle in Coxa Vara?

Q angle in Coxa Valga?

A

Angle between neck and femur shaft

Vara: 135

44
Q

What are the components of Primary Respiratory Mechanism?

A
  1. Brain and spinal cord have inherent motility
  2. CSF fluctuates
  3. Intracranial and intraspinal membranes’ movement
  4. Cranial bones articular mobility
  5. Sacrum’s involuntary movement
45
Q

CranioRhythmic Impulse (CRI) normal value?

What makes it decrease?
Increase?

A

[10-14 cycles/min]

Decreased by stress, depression, chronic fatigue, infection, SBS compression

Increased by exercise, systemic fever, after CV4 technique

46
Q

Placement of fingers in vault hold

A

Index: Gr. wing sphenoid
Middle: Pre-auricular Temporal bone
Ring: Mastoid process of Temporal bone
Pinky: Occiput squamous portion

47
Q

What are the dural attachments?

A

Foramen magnum
C2
C3
S2: posterior superior portion (allows for sacral counternutation)

48
Q

What happens during Craniosacral Flexion?

A

Midline bones flex
AP diameter ↓
Paired bones ExtRot
Sacral base extends (counternutates)

49
Q

What happens during Craniosacral Extension?

A

Midline bones extend
AP diameter ↑
Paired bones IntRot
Sacral base flexes (nutates)

50
Q

What nerve is treated in Condylar Decompression?

51
Q

What segment of the sacrum allows the firm attachment of the dura mater to move into counternutation during the flexion phase of craniosacral motion?

A

posterior superior portion of S2

52
Q

What bones make up the sphenobasilar synchondrosis (SBS)?

A

articulation between the sphenoid and occiput

53
Q

Tx. of choice for Fibromyalgia

A

Counterstrain

54
Q

Superior vertical strain

A

sphenoid base moves superiorly causing index fingers to move inferiorly. Occiput base moves inferiorly and so do 5th fingers move inferiorly. Hands ulnar deviate.

55
Q

What levels are viscerosomatic reflexes from dysfunctions of the head and neck associated with?

56
Q

At what axis does innominate rotation occur?

A

Inferior transverse axis

57
Q

If the greater wing of the sphenoid is greater on the left, what is the most likely cranial strain pattern?

58
Q

What happens to AP diameter and Transverse diameter during cranial flexion?

A

AP decreases
Transverse increases

(opposite is true during cranial extension)
