Paired bones movements Flashcards
SBS Flexion = paired bones ______
ER
“FLEXTERNAL ROTATION”
SBS Extension = paired bones ______
IR
SBS flexion/extension
Movement of parietal bones
Axis?
- SBS flexion = ER
-
Head widens laterally;
- Sagittal suture moves inferior;
- Temporal articulations moves lateral
-
Head widens laterally;
- SBS extension = IR
-
Head narrows laterally
- Saggital suture moves superior
- Temporal articulations move medially
-
Head narrows laterally
Sagittal (AP) axis (coronal plane)

SBS flexion/extension
Movement of temporal bones
Axis?
- SBS flexion = ER (upper portions/ squamous portion flare out and MP move medially)
- SBS extension = IR (lower portions/MP flare laterally; squamous portion move medially)
- Axis is inferior to to petrous ridge

SBS flexion/extension
Movement of frontal bones
Axis?
- SBS flexion – ER:
- lateral sides move anterior/lateral and slightly infeiror
- glabella moves posterior
- SBS extension – IR:
- lateral sides move posterior/medial and slightly superior;
- glabella moves anterior
- 2 superior/inferior (vertical) axes = like antennas from each frontal bone

Symptoms of parietal bone damage
What is the ONLY bone that contacts ALL 4 fontanelles?
Parietal bone
What bones does the parietal bone touch?
-
5 other bones
- Frontal
- Temporal
- Other parietal
- Sphenoid
- Occiput

Signs and symptoms of Parietal Bone SD
- Cranial synostosis: premature closure of sutures– coronal, sagittal, lambdoidal
- Head pain along a suture that can radiate from any point of restriction.
- Middle meningeal a. – trauma, giant cell arteritis
- Head, face and tooth pain – temporal muscle SD, parietosquamosal
Parietal bone SD can cause _____ to cause tension HA.
- Oxipitomastoid
- Asterion
Parietal bone SD can cause _____ to cause temporal HA.
Pterion
Sign and symptoms of temporal bone SD
- TMJ pain
- Head pain – along a suture (esp occipitomastoid/asterion => migraines; pterion => temporal HA)
- Neck pain – fx with SCM and other attached muscles
- Dizziness
- Ear infections
- Swallowing/chewing – stylohyoid, TMJ and styloglossus
- Tinnitus and eustachian tube dysfunction
- Bell’s palsy association – CN VII
IR temporal bone is associated with what type of tinnitis and eustachian tube dysfunction
low roar
swooshing
ER temporal bone is associated with what type of tinnitis and eustachian tube dysfunction
High pitched roar
What moves the frontal bone during ER
Sphenoid
Temporal bone motion is driven by _____, through OM articulation
Occiput
Signs and symptoms of frontal bone SD.
-
Focal head pain – along a suture
- Coronal suture => tension HA
- Pterion => temporal HA
- Global head pain = ⬇︎ primary respiration and flow of CSF when dura teneses at the cribiform plate
- Frontalis muscle
- Sinusitis – frontal sinus, secondary to pressure from within
- Visual problems
- Anosmia – frontal bone influences cribriform plate
Frontal bone SD can affect ______ muscle => the common driver for nerve and suture compression
Frontalis muscle
How can frontal bone SD => anosmia?
frontal influences cribiform plate and places tension on nerves
What are the 4 fontanelles?
- Anterior fontanelle (=> bregmna) – intersection of coronal and sagittal sutures
- Posterior fontanelle (=> lambda)– intersection of lambdoidal and sagittal sutures
- Sphenoidal fontanelle – Pterion
- Mastoid fontanelle – Asterion
