What is the indication for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Modified Rotary Break?

A

TOS, HA, chronic muscle hypertonicity in neck, fixed segments, decreased joint motion, thixotropic changes (i.e. thickening/”stickiness” of synovial fluid due to pressure).

69

70
Q

What is the technique for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Modified Rotary Break?

A

Pt supine. Find fixed segment. Contact w/ side of first finger, the higher up in the neck, the nearer the MCP - on articular pillar pulling back on skin to take up slack. Inactive hand curls around head w/ thumb on cheek to support head. Rotate head away and side bend toward point of contact. Impulse toward the barrier (into resistance). Thrust vector almost straight across the C1, gradually tilting slightly from C2-C6 until at C7 thrust is toward shoulder

71
Q

What is the indication for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Sitting Break?

A

TOS, HA, chronic muscle hypertonicity in neck, fixed segments, decreased joint motion, thixotropic changes (i.e. thickening/”stickiness” of synovial fluid due to pressure).

72
Q

What is the contraindication for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Sitting Break?

A

Positive George’s test (Sx during extreme neck extension w/rotation), hx of stroke, radiographically-verified cervical weakness in pt w/ RA, after head trauma w/ possibility of C1-C2 instability, dens fracture, any fracture of vertebrae, joint hyper mobility, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, IV disc herniation

73
Q

What is the technique for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Sitting Break?

A

Pt prone w/ some neck flexion. Find fixed segment. Contact w/ side of first finger on articular pillar (knife edge). Inactive hand’s palm on occiput. Impulse toward barrier. This thrust is a little risky due to increased rotational component.

74
Q

What is the indication for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Prone Break?

A

TOS, HA, chronic muscle hypertonicity in neck, fixed segments, decreased joint motion, thixotropic changes (i.e. thickening/”stickiness” of synovial fluid due to pressure).

75
Q

What is the contraindication for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Prone Break?

A

Positive George’s test (Sx during extreme neck extension w/rotation), hx of stroke, radiographically-verified cervical weakness in pt w/ RA, after head trauma w/ possibility of C1-C2 instability, dens fracture, any fracture of vertebrae, joint hyper mobility, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, IV disc herniation

76
Q

What is the technique for Cervical Spine Osseous Manipulation - Prone Break?

A

Pt seated. Find fixed segment. Stand on side opposite fixation. Reach in front of pt, contact w/ palmar side of 1st or 2nd finger on articular pillar. Inactive hand cradles and supports head. Rotate head away and side bend toward fixation. Impulse toward barrier.

77
Q

What is the indication for Coccyx Osseous Manipulation?

A

Idiopathic chronic coccyalgia; post-fx coccyalgia and coccygeal misalignment. Tend to have pain if sitting up straight (esp. on hard surfaces) but not usu. during BM. Glut muscles and piriformis may spasm to guard coccyx, causing sciatica. Local tenderness is sign. HA may occur due to spinal cord traction from film terminals. Hx of trauma usu. present. Childbirth doesn’t usu. cause but may unveil problem.

78
Q

What is the contraindication for Coccyx Osseous Manipulation?

A

Pt uncomfortable w/ rectal intrusion, coccygeal fracture (unhealed)

79
Q

What is the technique for Coccyx Osseous Manipulation?

A

Pt side lies w/ upper leg flexed at hip and knee, well draped. Insert gloved, lubricated finger into rectum, massage the coccygeal ligaments from POST to ANT. Pin the coccyx btwn thumb and finger and gently but firmly traction INF and POST. There is NO thrusting motion in this “adjustment”. Minor rectal bleeding may occur.

80
Q

What is the indication for Elbow Osseous Manipulation?

A

Deviation of the olecranon medially (ulnar deviation) or laterally (radial deviation)

81
Q

What is the contraindication for Elbow Osseous Manipulation?

A

Radial dislocation (nursemaid’s elbow), fracture (esp. w/ Hx of falling and catching self w/ outstretched arm), osteoporosis, elbow arthritis

82
Q

What is the technique for Elbow Osseous Manipulation?

A

For ulnar deviation, the impulse is laterally w/ mild extension. Overdoing this may injure the olecranon so be gentle. For radial deviation, medial stress w/ mild extension is used.

83
Q

What is the indication for Foot and Toe Osseous Manipulation?

A

Fixation in MTP joint, chronic pain from joint fixation, often post-traumatic

84
Q

What is the contraindication for Foot and Toe Osseous Manipulation?

A

Fractures, INFXN

85
Q

What is the technique for Foot and Toe Osseous Manipulation?

A

Grasp the metatarsal and distract it quickly away from the toe (holding the toe in place while doing so). Include a component of lateral or other movement if restriction is in that plane.

86
Q

What is the indication for Ankle Osseous Manipulation - Tarsal and Talotibial Technique?

A

Talotibial fixation (decreased ANT ankle glide commonly felt), pes planus causing tight planar fascia leading to tarsal fixations, crushing damage to foot which heels leaving tarsals INF fixed.

87
Q

What is the contraindication for Ankle Osseous Manipulation - Tarsal and Talotibial Technique?

A

Ankle fracture, INFXN involving regional structures, excessive joint laxity, acute inflammation

88
Q

What is the technique for Ankle Osseous Manipulation - Tarsal Technique?

A

Pt prone w/ feet hanging half way off the end of the table. Contact w/ both thumbs over fixed tarsal in question and index fingers along sides of heel and other fingers grasping the foot. Impulse created by flexing pt’s knee then bringing the foot down against edge of the table (so that the middle of the top of the foot strikes). Force must be directed to the tarsal in question w/ the thumbs. This assumes INF fixation.

89
Q

What is the technique for Ankle Osseous Manipulation - Talotibial Technique?

A

Pt. supine. Pt firmly anchored to table (to avoid being pulled toward practitioner). Contact w/ middle fingers crossed over the fixed joint w/ a firm INF and POST tissue pull. Thumbs positioned under sole of foot. Impulse vector created by moving the ankle into greater dorsiflexion while simultaneously pulling INF and POST (assuming an ANT fixation).
