OP

Question 1

where would you begin your palpation for the cervical spine when doing any vertebral challenges?

Answer 1

C2

Question 2

what direction do you apply pressure with posterior anterior central pressure?

Answer 2

forward with slow controlled movement

Question 3

what kind of end feel do the vertebral challenge have?

Answer 3

springing end feel

Question 4

how can you determine if an end feel is normal?

Answer 4

by assessing above and below to compare the joints

Question 5

how do you apply a posterior anterior unilateral vertebral pressure challenge?

Answer 5

pressure is applied to the transverse processes on each side and forward pressure

Question 6

what’s different about the thoracic spine that would effected palpation of TP?

Answer 6

not all thoracic TP are directly lateral from the SP. They can be found above lateral from the superior vertebra
ex.. T6 tp are found lateral to T5

Question 7

how would you perform transverse pressure challenge?

Answer 7

place thumb along the sides of the SP and apply lateral push to the process. must perform each side one at a time

Question 8

where would you start your palpations of the thoracic spine?

Answer 8

C6 process

Question 9

where would you start your Lumbar spine palpation?

Answer 9

L5 (can use sacrum to help easier locate the point)

Question 10

what nerve glide does the follow describe

• supine
• abduct shoulder to 110
• flex elbow
• external rotate the shoulder
• supinate forearm
• extend wrist and fingers
• lateral flexion of C/S opposite side
• slowly extend elbow with C/S flexion to the opposite side

Answer 10

median nerve glide

Question 11

how would you stretch the median nerve?

Answer 11

instead of flexing the elbow like you would pre performance of median nerve glide, you would extend the elbow and have the head flexed to the opposite side

Question 12

do you need to demonstrate and witness exercise in clinical setting?

Answer 12

no

Question 13

which nerve glide is the follow:

• supine
• hip flexion
• adduct the hip
• internal rotation
• dorsiflexion
• neck flexion

plantar and dorsi flex while flexing the neck slowly to glide the neck

Answer 13

sciatic nerve

Question 14

what would you add to sciatic nerve glide to mobilize the tibial nerve?

Answer 14

dorsiflexion and eversion

Question 15

what would you add to sciatic nerve glide to mobilize the sural nerve?

Answer 15

dorsiflexion and inversion

Question 16

what would you add to sciatic nerve glide to mobilize the common peroneal / fibular nerve?

Answer 16

plantar flexion with inversion

Question 17

what’s the difference between the slump and sciatic nerve mob?

Answer 17

slump is done seated

Question 18

how to you move the ulnar nerve?

Answer 18

flexion the cervical spine
