What happened in 1936?
Applied Academy of Osteopathy (AAO) is formed.
improve the art of total health care
management,
emphasis on palpation and OMT
What happened in 1944
Applied Academy of Osteopathy changed its name to American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO)
What happened in 1950?
Dr. Angus Cathie forms first undergraduate class of American Academy of Osteopathy at PCOM
Which way do occipital condyles converge?
anteriorly
What is the major motion of the occiput?
Flexion/extention
accounts for 50% of cervical flexion
Describe the relationshp bw sidebending and rotation of the the Co on C1
Occur in opposite directions
NOT Type 1 mechanics, though
What is the motion test for the Co on C1
translation
Describe a Posterior Occiput Right
OA rotated R, sidebent L
Right OA can traslate posteriorly
Resists anterior translation and extension
Tissue Texture change on right
Describe an Anterior Occiput Left
OA rotated R, sidebent L
Left OA translates anteriorly
Resists posterior translation and flexion
Tissue Texture change on Left
What is the alternate terminology for a Posterior (open) Occiput?
Flexed Occiput
What is the alternate terminology for an Anterior (closed) Occiput?
Extended Occiput
What is the major motion of C1 (on C2)?
Rotation about dens (‘no’ motion)
50% of cervical rotation occurs here
When the atlas rotation about C2, describe its translation behavior
It translates inferiorly, equally on both sides
What is the most likely dysfuncitno of atlas on axis?
Restriction of major motion - rotation
(Flex to lock C2-7 for motion testing)
(Flexion/extension not involved in lesioning)
Does the atlas sidebend?
No
Describe a posterior atlas Right
Easier rotation to Right
When rotating to the Left, barrier is engaged on the right
Tissue Texture change on Right
Describe Anterior Atlas Left
Easier rotation to Rgith
When rotated to Left, barrier is engaged on Left
Tissue Texture change on Left
Describe the angle of z-joints in C2-7
45 degree nateriorly towards eye
What are unciform (uncinate) processes?
on superior surface of body producing concave shape that articulates with body of higher vertebra
synovial joints of Luschka
What goes through the transverse foramina of cervical vertebral bodies?
vertebral a.
does not pass through C7 transverse foramen though
What does the vertebral a supply? And what does vertebral a insufficiency indicate?
posterior aspect of circle of Willis
insufficiency produces vertigo
nystagus occurs upon cervical rotation
Do Cervical vertebra (C2-C7) demonstrate type 1 or Type 2 mechanics?
Type 2 (not type 1) (Though they are typical vertebrae)
If you wanted to treat the cervical spine, what should you treat first?
Treat upper thoracic first
because cervical dysfunctionoften linked to upper back/ribs dysfunction)
In what diseases, is the transverse ligament of C2 more lax?
RA
Down’s
What is osteoarthritis associated with in cervical psine?
hypertrophic changes (spurr) in z-joints and vertebral bodies
Which muscles in the neck covers the great mscules in the neck?
SCM
What is the motion of the SCM?
ipsilateral sidebending
controlateral rotation
bilateral: flexion of neck
What can trapezius pain be oftenly misinterpreted as?
dysfunction of 1st rib
What is a treatment of congenital torticollis?
Indirect technique to thoracic outlet and cranium
Contrast congenital vs adult torticollis
congenital: ‘contraction of SCM’ so sidebent towards effected side, rotated away
adult: cervical sidebending and rotation in same direction ‘contraction of scalenes’
What are the suboccipital muscles? What can their dysfunctions present as?
Rectus Capitis Posterior Major Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor Obliqus Capitis Inferior Obliqis Capitis Superior Tension-type headaches
What are the originis and insertions of teh nateiror and middle scalenes?
origin: trasnverse processes C3-6
insert: 1st rib
Which area of primary spinal SD is responsible for scalene spasm?
upper thoracic region
At what level do teh vertebral aa unite? What does it become thereafter and what does it supply
LEvel of pons
Becomes basilar a.
occipital love, cerebellu, brain stem
Which two bones form the jugular foramen?
occipital (condylar) and temporal (petrous)
What does a sentinel node of Vrichow indicate? Why?
abdominal malignancy
Beacsue abdominal malignancy spreads along thoracic duct and nodes
What layer do superficila lymphatics penetrate to get to deep cervical nodes?
investing fascia layer
Which fascial layer does the carotid sheath blend with?
pretrachial fasia
Which cutaneous nn arise from the cervical plexus?
lesser occipital n
great auricular n
transverse colli n
supraclavicular n
