OPP 2 Exam #3 Flashcards
Tight piriformis muscle would lead to reduced hip
internal rotation
Sympathetic innervation to the Head and Neck:
T1-T4
Upper cervical area and sacrum are connected by
dural connections
AA (C1 on C2) accounts for 50% of
the cervical spine’s rotational motion
OA (C0 on C1) accounts for 50% of the
cervical spine’s flexion/extension motion
Spurling test assesses for
neural foraminal narrowing
Underburg/Wallenburg tests for patency in the
-position
vertebral arteries
If you extend the neck and rotate left/side-bend left you are checking the patency of right vertebral artery
If you extend the neck and rotate right/side-bend right you are checking the patency of the left vertebral artery
Diagnosed by T.A.R.T.
T: Tissue Texture Changes
A: Asymmetry
R: Restriction of motion
T: Tenderness
Fryette Law 1
- group of vertebra
- Side-bending before rotation
Fryette Law 2
- single vertebra
- Rotation before side-bending

Sympathetic levels
Heart: T1 – T5 Lungs: T1 – T6 (T2-T7) Stomach: T5 – T9 Gallbladder: T5 – T9 Upper Ureters: T10 – T11 Lower Ureters: T12 – L1
Parasympathetic levels
Heart: OA, C1, C2 (Vagus) Lungs: OA, C1, C2 (Vagus) Stomach: OA, C1, C2 (Vagus) Gallbladder: OA, C1, C2 (Vagus) Upper Ureters: OA, C1, C2 (Vagus) Lower Ureters: S2 – S4
- vagus till splenic flexure
- S2-S4 rest plus reproductive organs, and external genitalia
Sympathetic Innervation
Greater Splanchnic Nerve (T5-9)
- Synapses at the Celiac Ganglion
- Stomach, Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas, Parts of Duodenum
- Lesser Splanchnic Nerve (T10-11)*
- Synapses at the Superior Mesenteric Ganglion
- Small Intestines and Right Colon (appendix is found here)
Least Splanchnic Nerve (T12) and Lumbar Splanchnic Nerve (L1-2)
- Synapses at the Inferior Mesenteric Ganglia
- Innervates the Left Colon and Pelvic Organs
sympathetic innervation to the appendix
Lesser Splanchnic Nerve (T10-11)
Synapses at the Superior Mesenteric Ganglion
OA
AA
C2-C7
-motion
OA: type I
AA: rotation
C2-C7: type II
-Cervical spine follows Fryette’s III
Oculomotor nerve (CN III) Glossopharyngeal (CN IX) Facial Nerve (CN VII)
-ganglion
-Oculomotor nerve (CN III)
Ciliary Ganglion
-Glossopharyngeal (CN IX)
Otic ganglion
-Facial Nerve (CN VII)
Pterygopalatine Ganglion
Submandibular Ganglion
Jugular Foramen
- formed by
- CN that exit
Formed by Temporal Bone and Occiput
- formed by Temporal Bone and Occiput forming the occipitomastoid suture
- CN that exit CN IX, X, and XI
So dysfunction affecting the vagus nerve could come from
occipitomastoid suture compression
-CN X is involved with vomiting
Sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) refers pain
lateral to and behind the eye
Splenius Capitus muscle refers pain to
vertex of the head
Examples of Indirect Techniques
Counterstrain
Facilitated Positional Release (FPR)
Balanced Ligamentous Tension Technique (BLT)
Functional Technique
Examples of Direct Techniques
Myofascial Release Soft tissue Articulatory Muscle Energy High velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) Springing
OA diagnosis (deep sulcus on L/R)
A deep sulcus on the right would indicate that the OA is rotated right
A deep sulcus on the left would indicate that the OA is rotated left
-If you have an OA with a deep sulcus on the left which is worse in extension, you would assume the dysfunction is OA F SR RL
Cervical HVLA Set Up (C2 E RL SL: Rotational correction emphasis)
- Rotate C2 to the right
- Metacarpal phalangeal joint is positioned over POSTERIOR aspect of C2 left articular pillar
- Lock out C3-C7 by side-bending those segments to the left
Cervical HVLA Set Up (C2 E RL SL: Side-bending correction emphasis)
- Side-bend C2 to the right
- Metacarpal phalangeal joint is positioned over LATERAL aspect of C2 right articular pillar
- Lock out C3-C7 by rotating those segments to the left
Indications and Contraindications
- too young or is not able to follow commands
- a patient has lax ligaments such as Rheumatoid Arthritis or Trisomy 21, you do not want to do HVLA, or ANY type of articulatory techniques in the upper cervical spine
Neurological Exam (sensation, motor, reflex)

T1
C6:
Sensation: Thumb,Index Finger
Motor: Wrist Extensors
Reflex: Brachioradialis
C7:
Sensation: Mid Finger
Motor: Triceps
Reflex: Triceps
T1:
Sensation: Medial Elbow
Motor: Interossi
Reflex: None
Deep tendon reflex scale
2/4: normal
4/4: Brisk w/clonus, UMN injury
muscle strength scale
5/5: normal
0/5: no contractility
neurological influence versus biomechanical influence to diaphragm
Neurologically: Phrenic Nerve/C3, C4, C5
Biomechanically: Where the thoracoabdominal diaphragm attaches: lower ribs, thoraco-lumbar junction, T10-L3 are examples.
Rotator Cuff muscles and movements
Supraspinatus – Abduction
Infraspinatus - External rotation
Teres Minor – External rotation
Subscapularis – Internal rotation
Falling forward on an outstretched hand leads to a
posterior radial head
-Forearm resists supination
Falling backward on an outstretched hand leads to
anterior radial head
-Forearm resists pronation
Abducted Ulna
Adducted Ulna
Abducted Ulna:
(olecranon process glides medially), radius glides distally & wrist is pushed into increased adduction
Adducted Ulna:
(olecranon process glides laterally), radius glides proximally and wrist is pulled into abducted position
Lateral epicondylitis
Medial epicondylitis
Lateral epicondylitis- “Tennis elbow”
Medial epicondylitis- “Golfer’s elbow”
psoas syndrome somatic dysfunction
type II, L1 or L2 vertebral unit
- pelvis shifts to the opposite side
- Pelvic shift to the opposite side of the greatest psoas spasm
- Hypertonicity of the piriformis muscle contralateral to the side of greatest psoas spasm
