11, 12

A

1-5: pump
6-10: bucket
11, 12: caliper

25
Rib mm's: ``` 1 2 3-5 6-9 10-11 12 ```
1: anterior and middle scalenes 2: posterior scalene 3-5: pec minor 6-9: serratus anterior 10-11: latissimus dorsi 12: quadratus lumborum
26
What lines form Ferguson's Lumbosacral angle?
formed between a line across the plane of the superior margin of S1 and a horizontal line
27
Short Leg Syndrome results in? How is the Ferguson's Lumbosacral angle affected?
results in sacral base unleveling vertebral sidebending and rotation innominate rotation increases lumbosacral angle
28
Guidelines for Heel Lift Fragile pt? Flexible pt? Max heel lift possible?
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"
29
How does Rib Raising work? | What conditions is it good for?
↑ rib excursion to normalize Sympathetics Asthma, viral pneumonia
30
Grading of Spondylolisthesis ``` 1 2 3 4 5 ```
1: 25% slipped forward 2: 50% 3: 75% 4: 100% 5: Spondylolisthesis
31
What happens to sacral base during inhalation/craniosacral flexion?
Extends/counternutates
32
What happens to sacral base during exhalation/craniosacral extension?

41
Tx. Posterior Fibular Head
PEED Evert, ExtRot, Dorsiflex
42
What happens to fibular head when you dorsiflex the foot? When you plantarflex the foot?
Dorsiflex --> Fibular head moves forward Plantarflex --> Fibular head moves backward
43
What is the Q angle? What is the Q angle in Coxa Vara? Q angle in Coxa Valga?
Angle between neck and femur shaft Vara: 135
44
What are the components of Primary Respiratory Mechanism?
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
CranioRhythmic Impulse (CRI) normal value? What makes it decrease? Increase?
[10-14 cycles/min] Decreased by stress, depression, chronic fatigue, infection, SBS compression Increased by exercise, systemic fever, after CV4 technique
46
Placement of fingers in vault hold
Index: Gr. wing sphenoid Middle: Pre-auricular Temporal bone Ring: Mastoid process of Temporal bone Pinky: Occiput squamous portion
47
What are the dural attachments?
Foramen magnum C2 C3 S2: posterior superior portion (allows for sacral counternutation)
48
What happens during Craniosacral Flexion?
Midline bones flex AP diameter ↓ Paired bones ExtRot Sacral base extends (counternutates)
49
What happens during Craniosacral Extension?
Midline bones extend AP diameter ↑ Paired bones IntRot Sacral base flexes (nutates)
50
What nerve is treated in Condylar Decompression?
CN XII
51
What segment of the sacrum allows the firm attachment of the dura mater to move into counternutation during the flexion phase of craniosacral motion?
posterior superior portion of S2
52
What bones make up the sphenobasilar synchondrosis (SBS)?
articulation between the sphenoid and occiput
53
Tx. of choice for Fibromyalgia
Counterstrain
54
Superior vertical strain
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
What levels are viscerosomatic reflexes from dysfunctions of the head and neck associated with?
T1-T4
56
At what axis does innominate rotation occur?
Inferior transverse axis
57
If the greater wing of the sphenoid is greater on the left, what is the most likely cranial strain pattern?
Torsion
58
What happens to AP diameter and Transverse diameter during cranial flexion?
AP decreases Transverse increases (opposite is true during cranial extension)
