Practices Flashcards
Lumbar side posture benefits which aspect of the listing the most?
Rotation
The patient has decreased abduction and normal adduction of the shoulder. Which glenohumeral misalignment do you suspect?
Inferior
A T10 subluxation has a high right transverse process. If you use a double thenar contact, which hand would you thrust with primarily? Which side of the patient should you stand on?
Left; Right
The patient’s head is level but the first spinous has rotated to the right. You would adjust:
Axis left
Reminder the first sp is on axis not atlas
If the doctor is using side posture technique contacting the 2nd sacral tubercle with the involved side down, what subluxation is being corrected?
P-L sacrum
If the foot is rotated internally, with an elevated PSIS you would list it as:
ASEX ilium
If you have rotation of the sacrum in the coronal plane, with the apex to the right, what torque is necessary to correct it?
Lateral to medial
If the patient has a short leg, the obturator will be:
Increased vertically
When you are correcting an S-I lesion in side posture, which part of the procedure is best described?
Side posture involved side up, compresses the opposite side
What is the patient position for a Gonstead PIEX pull ilium correction?
Involved side down
For a PIEX side posture correction the pull move is down and the push move is up
With an IN ilium subluxation, the distance between the S2 tubercle and the PSIS will
Decrease
What is the patient position and contact hand for an L4 segment that has lax annular fibers on the left and diminished spinous rotation to the left?
Right side up and right leg bent; inferior hand
This is a PRS listing = body left and inferior
Right rotatory scoliosis (Lovett +) is described as the lumbar bodies:
Rotated right
(Right scoliosis means the convexity is on the right. Rotatory means the bodies are rotated to the concavity and spinouses to the convexity)
A patient exhibits low back pain at L3. They have more lateral flexion to the left that the right and increased right rotation as compared with left rotation. What would the doctor;s segmental contact be? What side of the patient is down?
Right mammillary contact; left
What torque is necessary to adjust a lumbar vertebrae tat has a right lateral flexion malposition and right rotational fixation malposition?
Counter clockwise
When adjusting an L5 spondylolisthesis, what is the patient position?
Supine; knees and hips flexed
If the L4-L5 disc is the target tissue for flexion distraction technique, the doctor will contact:
L4 spinous process
L3 is a PLS, which hand is the contact hand?
Right (inferior hand)
A PLS listing could be described as:
Left spinous rotation malposition, reduced left lateral flexion
A T8 subluxation has a concavity on the left and spinous rotation to the left. What torque should be applied?
Clockwise on the right transverse process
What is the bestway to adjust a Pottinger saucer?
A-P
If a patient has an inferior posterior transverse process on the right, the doctor would stand on and contact which side?
Left; left
Right inferior and posterior transverse process = left superior spinous
The T11 vertebrae is PRI-T. What is the segmental contact and what side does the doctor stand on?
Left transverse contact; right
Spinous left and open wedge on the left side of T6 requires what torque and what doctor contact.
Counterclockwise; spinous process
All vertebral segments with a left open wedge require a CCW torque
During an anterior thoracic move, where does the doctor contact the patient?
Below the involved segment
Thrust is A-P and I-S
An extension, left spinous rotation, and left lateral flexion malposition is what listing for a T10 subluxation?
PLI
A knife edge adjustment is for which subluxation?
Posteriority
(Thumbs can be used for rotations in the lower cervicals and upper thoracics. Double thumb is used in the lumbars on the knee-chest table)
A dr contacts the patient’s spinous or transverse process with the pisiform of her contact hand. The dr places her stabilization pisiform in the snuff box of her contact hand. What type of adjustment is this?
Single hand contact
A patient has pain on the right side of the T5-T6 segment. He has a posterior inferior transverse process on the right. The lateral bending is restricted to the left and the body listing is right and inferior. Convert this to a Gonstead listing.
PLS
With a PRI-T at the T11 level, which hand is the contact hand?
Left superior hand
A patient has a vertebral segment scoliosis on the right, along with right spinous rotation. What listing is this?
PRS
(These are spinous listings. The spinous is on the right (PR) and is on the open wedge (right scoliosis) which makes it the superior side (S). The entire listing is PRS with a spinous contact.)
A patient has a high transverse process on the left with a T10 left segmental convexity. Which is used?
Torque
What is the contact for a left rotation vertebral body malposition which has diminished left lateral flexion at the T6 level?
Pisiform on the left transverse process
