from motion palpation
also called kinetic listings
dynamic listings always reference what?

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?

=

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

L-R, I-S
Dynamic listing: restricted R body rotation with restricted R lateral flexion in lumbar spine is best corrected with lumbar push. SCP=, CH=, TQ=
SCP= R spinous CH= L thigh= R TQ= CW
