Q

What do ribs begin as? What happens later? Diaphragm insertion?

A

Ribs begin as cartilage and are horizontal in infants
Progress towards bucket/pump handle as child grows
Diaphragm inserts horizontally on inner surface of ribs in infant instead of obliquely as in adults

Q

Describe temporal changes, specifically petrous portion

A

At birth, temporal bone in 3 parts
Petrous portion houses acoustical vestibular organ
Growth: rotates external auditory meatus into sagittal plane. Tips Eustachian tube from horizontal position to oblique angle
Most cranial nerves pass through this bone: CN3-11

Q

CNs 9-12 may be impinged by occipital bone dysfunction. Results?

A
Jugular foramen (9-11)
CN9 = poor sucking
CN10 = excessive vomiting/spitting up
CN11 = colic, poor sucking, often affected by occiptal-temporal bone dysfunction

Hypoglossal canal
CN12 = poor sucking due to infant’s difficulty moving tongue = cannot suckle properly

Q

What is associated with increased incidence of otitis media? Why? How to diagnose?

A

Internal rotation of temporal bone
Impairment of middle ear drainage due to Eustachian tube blockage
Cradle occiput in hands and gently place tips of index fingers on mastoid portion/attachment of SCM muscle. If one side is more prominent, then there is internal rotation

Q

What happens in school age children?

A

Cranium fully ossified
Epiphyseal plates still open
Rapid growth taking place in long bones = growing pains
May develop leg length discrepancy = short leg syndrome or functional scoliosis

Q

Describe the 3 types of growth areas

A

Epiphyseal growth plate
Proximal/distal end of bone
Made of hyaline cartilage

Epiphysis/articular surface
Made ofhylaine cartilage

Apophysis
Area of cartilaginous growth at insertion of tendon
Made of fibrocartilage
Creates bony tubercles like tibial tubercle or AIIS
Apophysitis, avulsion fractures more common in peds because of unossified apophysis

Q

What are hyaline and fibrocartilage more vulnerable to?

Q

Describe Wollf’s law

A

Mechanical stressors will affect tissue differentiation and growth characteristics of MSK tissues
Normal compression stimulates growth (condrogenesis and epiphyseal plate growth)
Affect collagen synthesis = increase tissue strength and ability to absorb energy
Excessive compression = osteogenesis decreased epiphyseal growth
MSK most vulnerable to mechanical forces during periods of growth

17
Q

Describe scoliosis

A

Abnormal lateral curvature of spine in sagittal plane
Females undergo more rapid progression of curvature
Most common etiology is idiopathic

18
Q

What happens in adolescents

A

Epiphyseal plates closing/closed
Innominates fuse by age 20
Sacrum fuses in late adolescence
Athletes particularly susceptible to somatic dysfunction
Watch out for hypermobility = HVLA contraindicated

19
Q

Cranial treatments in infants/children are highly useful in poor suckle, infant constipation, birth trauma, vomiting, excessive crying, etc.
What techniques do you use?

A

Condylar decompression

Balanced membranous tension

20
Q

Parasympathetic tx for
upper GI, SI, and ascending/transverse colon?
Descending colon, sigmoid, rectum?
Increased tone leads to what?

A

Vagus (OA, AA)
Pelvic splanchnic (S2-4)
Increased peristalsis

21
Q

Sympathetic treatment for
Upper GI (stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, portions of pancreas and duodenum)?
Middle GI (ligament of Treitz to splenic flexure)?
Lower GI (splenic flexure to rectum)?
Increased tone leads to what?

A

T5-9
T10-11
T12-L2
Decreased peristalsis

22
