Floating Ribs.
-Ribs 11-12-Unattached anteriorly
Describe the attachment of Ribs 8-10.

Pump-Handle motion.
Ribs 1-5
Bucket-handle.
Ribs 6-10
Caliper motion.
Ribs 11-12
Describe Inhalation dysfunction.
Dysfunctional rib will move Cephalad during Inhalation, but will NOT move Caudad during Exhalation -Rib will appear to be “Held Up”
Describe Exhalation dysfunction.
Dysfunction rib will move Caudad during Exhalation, but will NOT move Cephalad during Inspiration -Rib will appear to be “Held Down”
Grouped Rib INHALATION dysfunction KEY RIB?
Lowest Rib of dysfunction
Grouped Rib EXHALATION dysfunction KEY RIB?
Uppermost Rib of dysfunction
Spina bifida occurs when there is a defect in what?
Closure of the Lamina of the vertebral segment
Where does Spina Bifida usually occur?
Lumbar spine
Spina Bifida Occulta.
-No herniation through defect-Course patch of hair over site-Rarely associated with neurological deficits
Spina Bifida Meningocele.
-Herniation of the Meninges through the defect
Spina Bifida Meningomyelocele.
-Herniation of the Meninges & Nerve roots through defect-Associated with neurological deficits
What is the main motion of the lumbar spine?
Flexion/Extension
A flexion contracture of the Iliopsoas m. is often associated with what type of dysfunction?
Nonneutral dysfunction at L1 or L2
Describe Spondylolisthesis.
-ANTERIOR displacement of one vertebrae in relation to the one below-Often occurs at L4 or L5-Usually from fatigue fractures of the Pars Interarticularis*Grading: -1 = 0-25% -2 = 25-50% -3 = 50-75% -4 = 75-100%
Describe Spondyloysis.
-Defect of the Pars Interarticularis withOUT anterior displacement of the vertebral body-Scotty Dog fracture on OBLIQUE X-ray
Describe Spondylosis.
-Radiographical term for degenerative changes within the INTERVERTEBRAL DISC and ANKYLOSING of adjacent vertebral bodies-Anterior Lipping of vertebral bodies
X-ray Diagnosis: -Spondylolisthesis -Spondylolysis
X-ray Diagnosis: -Spondylolisthesis: LATERAL view -Spondylolysis: OBLIQUE view
What ligament divides the Greater and Lesser Sciatic Foramen?
Sacrospinous L.
Sacral Motion Axis: Respiration
-Superior Transverse axis at S2
Sacral Motion Axis: Inherent (Craniosacral) motion
-Superior Transverse axis
Sacral Motion Axis: Postural motion
-Middle Transverse axis
Sacral Motion Axis: Dynamic motion
Engages 2 Sacral OBLIQUE Axes: -Left Oblique axis - weight bearing on Left leg (stepping forward with right leg) -Right Oblique axis - weight bearing on Right leg (stepping forward with left leg)
During Inhalation, what is the motion of the Sacral Base?
Inhalation - Sacral Base moves POSTERIOR
During Exhalation, what is the motion of the Sacral Base?
Exhalation - Sacral Base moves ANTERIOR
During Craniosacral Flexion, what is the motion of the Sacral Base?
Sacral Base rotates Posteriorly (COUNTERNUTATION)
During Craniosacral Extension, what is the motion of the Sacral Base?
Sacral Base rotates Anteriorly (NUTATION)
As person begins to bend Forward, what is the motion of the sacral base?
Moves Anteriorly
What happens to the Sacral Base as a person reaches Terminal Flexion?
Sacrotuberous ligaments become taut and the Sacral Base moves POSTERIORLY
Sacral Torsion definition.
Sacral rotation about an OBLIQUE axis with Somatic Dysfunction at L5
What are the Sacral Torsion Rules?
1-When L5 is Sidebent, a Sacral Oblique axis is engaged on the Same Side as the Sidebending#2-When L5 is Rotated, the sacrum Rotates the Opposite way on the Oblique axis3#-The seated flexion test is found on the Opposite side of the Oblique Axis
Sacral Torsion Example: L5 F RrSr -Seated Flexion: -Sacrum findings:
Sacral Torsion Example: L5 FRrSr -Seated Flexion: Positive on LEFT -Sacrum findings: Rotated to the Left on a Right Oblique axis (L on R)
Sacral Torsion Example: L5 N SlRr -Seated Flexion: -Sacrum findings:
Sacral Torsion Example: L5 N SlRr -Seated Flexion: Positive on RIGHT -Sacrum findings: Rotated to the Left on a Left oblique axis (L on L)
In sacral torsions, L5 will ALWAYS rotate in the (same or opposite) direction of the sacrum.
Opposite
