Principles of HVLA Thrust Technique Flashcards

1
Q

Define HVLA

A

osteopathic technique employing a rapid therapeutic force of brief duration that travels a short distance within the anatomic range of motion of a joint; engages restrictive barrier in one or more planes that releases restriction Does not go beyond anatomic barrier

Q

What symptoms would display with C6/C7 disc herniation?

A

weakness in triceps and finger extensor muscles; numbness, tingling also common level

38
Q

What symptoms would display with C7/T1 disc herniation?

A

weakness in handgrip, numbness, tingling

39
Q

How do you place the patient’s head during the vertebral artery test?
