pain or neurologic symptoms
spinal trauma (falls, pain, fractures)
alignment abnormalities/abnormal curve/scoliosis (cobb angle)
arthropathy (something wrong in joint complex)
spine instability or limitation of motion
osteoporosis

27

chiropractic x-rays are taken _____, but analyzed _____ aka ___ or ____ views; analysis is referred to as _____

A

A-P
P-A
functional or surgical view
spinography

28
Q

advantages of x-rays

A
correlate postural distortions
correlate palpation findings
identify pathologies
facilitate safer/conscientious care
qualify and quantify misalignment
more specific adjusting (LOC)
29

static pic of dynamic spine
limited sensitivity to pathologies
exposure risk
financial start-up costs
maintenance
portability

occipital condyle

atlanto-occipital

31
Q

2nd component for occiput listing is ______ and _____ ; ex. PS-RS, PS-LS, AS-RS, AS-LS

A

laterality and superiority

32
Q

3rd component for occiput listing is side of ______; ex. PS-RS- RP, PS-RS-RA, etc.

A

laterality

33
Q

atlas listing: ___ or ____ indicates that ANTERIOR TUBERCLE has misaligned superior or inferior

A

AS or AI

34
Q

2nd component of atlas indicates the ______ has gone R or L; ex. ASR, AIR

A

laterality

35
Q

3rd component of atlas indicates _____ on side of laterality, ex. ASRA

A

36
Q

technique developed by HENRI GILLET, practitioner’s hands are used to fell motion of SPECIFIC segments of spine while patient MOVES. Purpose is evaluation of DYNAMIC movement of extravertebral and vertebral JOINTS to assess DYSFUNCTION between JOINTS

A

motion palpation

37
Q

advantages of motion palpation

A
widely used across chiro
NOT specific to one technique
good reliability with protocol and experience
provides quality kinematic info
can be augmented for ALL populations
correlated to listings on x-ray
38
Q

disadvantages of motion palpation

A

unreliable when used as STAND ALONE tool
poor reliability WITHOUT protocol and experience
acute presentations can interfere with outcomes
requires patient to be interactive
has become “major indicator” to many practioners

39
Q

motion palpation is insightful for what parts of VSC

A

kinesiopathology

40
Q

motion palpation is insightful for what PART

A

P - pain and tenderness
A - asymmetry/misalignment
R - range of motion
