Practices Flashcards
Gonstead listings are named how?
how the subluxated segment misaligns to the segment below
first letter of a Gonstead listgin
P
refers to the posteriority
second letter of a Gonstead listing?
R or L
spinous rotation
third letter of a Gonstead listing?
S or I
refers to lateral flexion/wedging of a segment on the side of spinous rotation
if the wedge is on the right, what is torque?
clockwise
if the wedge is on the left, what is torque?
counterclockwise
national listings refer to?
body rotation
first letter is R or L
second letter of national listings?
P
for posteriority
third letter of national listings?
S or I
refers to lateral flexion or wedging on the side of body rotation
dynamic listings
from motion palpation
also called kinetic listings
dynamic listings always reference what?
vertebral body
fixated
segment is STUCK IN THAT POSITION being described
restricted/decreased
segment CAN’T MOVE TO THE POSITION being described
malposition
what is seen off of xray
flexion malposition
increased interspinous space between teh involved semgnet and the segment below with decreased interspinous space between the involved segment and the segment above
extension malposition
decreased interspinous space between the involved segment and the segment below with increased interspinous space between teh invovled segment and the segment above
what is referenced in an adjusting question unless otherwise noted?
body
“L5 is rotated to the right”
=
“L5 BR”
what side do you contact?
side of open wedge
if scoliosis is present, where do you contact?
side of convexity
where does doctor stand for an adjustment?
on the side of contact except: seated cervical (depending on if Gonstead or Diversified) Diversified: doctor stands opposite side of contact Gonstead: doctor stands behind patient
If the Gonstead listing is PRS, this correlates to what Dynamic listing?
restricted R rotation and fixated L lateral flexion
fixated L rotation and restricted R lateral flexion
Restricted L body of L2 also has fixation in R lateral flexion. What is the Gonstead listing?
PLS
R laterally flexed vertebral body with L body rotation. What is the Dynamic listing?
PRI-M
L lateral flexion restriction with L body rotation fixation
R lateral flexion fixation with R body restriction
Palpation of the vertebra shows R TVP is posterior and inferior and spinous is L and superior. Static body listing?
PLS
R rotation and R lateral fexion malposition
What is the static listing of superior vertebra in this drawing?
(o )
( o )
>
R rotation malposition, R lateral flexion malposition
If T9 and T10 internspinous space is increased, then T8 and T9 interspinous space is what?
decreased
