Physiologic Motion Flashcards
What is the sequence of diagnosis
Observation
Palpation
Range of Motion
Intersegmental ROM
What is included in observation
symmetry
color
scars
What is included in palpation
TART changes
What is ROM
active and passive
What does the anterior column contain in tripod arrangement
vertebral bodies and IV discs
What is the function of vertebral bodies and IV discs
support and weight bearing
What does the posterior column contain in the tripod arrangment
all other elements besides the body and IV disc
What are the functions of the anterior segment
support
weight bearing
shock absorbing
protection of the spinal cord
What is the function of the posterior segment
directs joint motion
protects spinal cord
almost non-weight bearing in the upright position
What are properties of the anterior column
the column bends, discs and bodies accommodate, moves away from the concave side
What are properties of the posterior column
facets and ligaments control movement
moves away from the concave side during sidebending
What structures limit motion
ligaments, muscles, IV discs, and osteology
Where are ligaments seen in the vertebral column
in front of and behind the vertebral body as well as between
When limiting structure likely leads to dysfunction of motion
muscular attachments
List examples of osteology that can limit motion
lumbarization of S1 or sacralization of L5
