Practical Flashcards
theory
You prescribe a passive stretch for your client’s tight right multifidi. What position are they holding during this exercise?
Right rotaion
The right SCM is tight. What position might the clients head be in during postural assessment?
Flexed and left rotated
A CONGENITAL condition involving contracture of the SCM muscle is known as:
Torticollis
Longus Capitis is tight on the left. Which dysfunction might this create?
FRSlt
RCP Minor and OCS are tight on the left, Which assessment outcome would be found?
right side bending restriction of CO from flexed position
Which screening test may be positive due to hypertonicity of the Ant. scalene?
How would you verify that the muscle is hypertonic?
Which cervical dysfunction would present if the OCI muscle was tight?
Describe the Isometric Intrinsic Treatment for this muscle.
Obliques cap infer. Would present right rotation restriction of c1. Isometric intrinsic treatment used would be to rotate patient to the right while patient is looking left to contract this muscle.
C5 is extended and you feel restriction in left side bending. Which dysfunction is present?
FRSrt
When assessing CO, what position is the lower cervical in?
Neutral
Type 1/ Neutral dysfunctions present with?
a number of vertebrae that side bend in one direction and rotate in the opposite.
CO is flexed and you note a restriction in right side bending. Which dysfunction is presenting?
ERSlt
Which conditions are assessed at CO?
ERS and FRS
The assessment outcome associated to tightness of the Longus Colli is which of the following?
FRS of Lower Cervical
VBI test is positive. What is the correct protocol for the therapist to follow?
Maintain the client’s neck and head in neutral for the duration of the assessment and treatment
C2-C7 are classified as the lower cervical in Practical Theory because we assess all of these segments the same way. T or F
True
Which landmarks are palpated while assessing C1?
TPs
The LEFT multifidi inserting on the SP of C2 are hypertonic. Which dysfunctions might these cause?
ERSlt of C2 and FRSrt of C3-C6
You want to incorporate a PNF stretch for the client’s right multifidi. What is their effort during the 7-10 second contraction phase of this exercise?
Left rotation
Lower cervical is flexed. You palpate restriction when pushing on the right articular pillar of C6. Which dysfunction is present?
ERSlt
C1 is assessed with the lower cervical in which position?
Flexed
Describe your assessment outcomes if the Longus Colli muscle was tight and causing FRS dysfunction.
You would find an FRS C2-C7, acrom would show extention and rotation restriction
Which screening test may be positive if the Mid Scalene is adaptively shortened?
What other tests would you perform to verify this?
TOS, travels, acrom, restricted side bend, ers or frs,
Why is rotation used as patient effort during the Isometric Intrinsic treatment for FRS conditions?
the MOI insert above the segment involved and rotation occurs top down
Adhesion in the left OCI and RCP major could cause which of the following?
right rotation restriction of C1
FRSrt of C2
Extension restriction of the left facet joint between C2 and C3
ERS and FRS are which type of dysfunction?
non-neutral/ type 2
Splenius Capitis is hypertonic on the left. Which dysfunction may be present?
ERSlt
The multifidus originating on the RIGHT TP of C7 is tight. Which dysfunctions may this cause?
FRSlt of C7 and ERSrt of C3-C6
Name the dysfunction caused by tightness of the Sub occipital muscles Lt.(OCS, RCP maj, RCP minr.) DESCRIBE the assessment outcome that would indicate this.
ERSlt. The patient would have right rotation restriction. FRS lt.
C1 rotation restriction to the LEFT. What are the MOI?
Right OCI and RCP Major
