Principles 2 Flashcards
Why might maintaining a healthy nervous system be important?
possibly to deal with stress and diseases of adaptation
At what point do we manipulate a joint?
paraphysiologic space
What are the different parts of movement?
neutral position
physiologic barrier (active ROM)
elastic barrier of resistance (crack) (mobilization)
paraphysiologic space (manipulation
limit of anatomic integrity (joint sprain)
hypermobility
Planes of movement
sagittal
coronal
transverse
body planes of movement axis
coronal (x)
sagittal (z)
longitudinal (y)
flexion and extension
sagittal plane coronal axis (x)
abduction/adduction, lateral flexion
coronal
sagittal (z)
medial/lateral flexion (axial rotation)
transverse longitudinal (y)
IVFs ___ in flexion and ___in extension
opens in flexion
decreases in extension
boundaries of an IVF
anterior: body, IVD
superior: pedicle
posterior: zygopophyseal joints (facets)
inferior: pedicle
anatomic contents of IVF
spinal nerve nerve roots recurrent meningeal nerves blood vessels lymphatics connective tissue DRG
order of compression in the IVF
adipose
veins
arteries
nerve
what is the most sensitive to compression from the IVF?
DRG
IVDs are found?
between the bodies of C2-3 all the way down to the lumbosacral junction
how much of the height of the vertebral column are discs responsible for?
1/4 the height
what is the function of discs?
weight bearing an dissipating shock
what are the 3 components of IVD?
annulus fibrosis
nucleus pulposus
cartilaginous endplates
cartilaginous endplates
composed of hyaline cartilage that separates but also helps attach the disc to the vertebral bodies
function of the cartilaginous endplates
anchor disc
form the growth zone for immature vertebral body
provide a permeable barrier between the disc and the body
the roll of the cartilaginous endplates is to?
allow avascular disc to receive nutrients and repair products
annulus fibrosis
fibrocartilaginous ring that encloses and retains the nucleus pulposus
function of annulus
enclosing and retaining the nucleus pulposus, absorbing compressive shocks, forming a structural unit between vertebral bodies and restricting motion
limits amount of torsion allowed on the disc and amount of rotation on the vertebra
allows disc to adapt to stress
