Q

Did Smith et al 2003 find a significant association between neck HVLAT and ischemic stroke or TIA.

A

NO

26
Q

What did sub group show in the Smith et al 2003 study?

A

The 25 cases with VBA dissection were 6x more likely to have consulted a chiro within 30 days before their stroke compared to the control.

27
Q

Did Dittrich et al 2007 find an association between CAD and HVLAT to Cervical spine.

A

No

28
Q

Murphy 2010 found what two explanations related to screening for CAD?

A
  1. No way to predict or screen for @ risk post manip/stroke.

2. Pts sought chirocare but still stroked out independent of cervical manipulation, meaning VA was already in progress.

29
Q

What did Murphy 2010 conclude regarding the relationship between chiros, PCPs, and CADs.

A

No strong claim that there is causal relationship between cervical HVLAT and VADs, a VAD is already in progress, but seek chiro or PCP care for neck pain and HA. The dissection takes its natural course independent of cervical HVLAT.

30
Q

Does Murphy 2010 feel it is the PTs job to screen for an “at risk” patient.

A

No it is for PTs to determine a differential diagnosis and refer because current evidence indicates that VADs is no a complication to cervical HVLAT.

31
Q
  1. What did Cassidy et al 2008 find regarding the association between chiropractic care, primary care practitioners, and stroke?
A

There is a strong association between primary care visits and stroke in those >45yo compared to chiro visits.

32
Q
  1. What did Cassidy et al 2008 find regarding those patients <45 years old with sxs (HA and neck pain)?
A

They are 3x more likely to see a chiro or PCP before their stroke compared to controls.

33
Q
  1. Is the VBI test validated according to Kerry &Taylor 2006?
A

No. There is little evidence that a neg test predicts the absence of an arterial pathology or identifies those at risk.

34
Q
  1. According to Kerry & Taylor is the VBI test sensitive or specific?
A

It is neither Sn or Sp.

35
Q
  1. What were the results of Carlesso et al 2010 systematic review of adverse events after cervical manipulation or mobilization?
A

Thiel et al 2007 reported no major or catastrophic outcomes in 50,276 Cx HVLATs. Average 16.3% of minor events across all studies.

36
Q
  1. What did the 16.4% minor events consist of according to Thiel et al 2007?
A

An increase in neck pain and headaches.

37
Q
  1. Why did Carlesso et all 2010 systematic review say no definitive conclusions can be made by the existing research?
A
  • small number of studies
  • weak association
  • moderate study quality
  • ascertainment bias
38
Q
  1. What is the gold standard for measuring blood flow?
A

MRA - Magnetic Resonance Angiography

39
Q
  1. According to Kerry et al 2008 what is a better term than VBI?
A

Cervical Artery Dysfunction

40
Q
  1. How do Kerry & Taylor 2006 screen for CAD in patients presenting with neck pain and headache sxs?
A
  • Cranial Nerve and eye exam
  • Blood Pressure
  • Signs of ICA or VA dissection
  • Past medical history related to atherosclerosis
  • hand held Doppler
  • Functional CAD positional tests: ROT for VA, EXT for ICA
41
Q

What should the PT recognize as a clue related to carotid artery dissection (CAD)?

A

A Headache that is like no other that the patient has had before.

42
Q

Does Kerry et al 2008 feel there is an increase risk of upper cervical HVLAT?

A

No studies have focused on that question

43
Q

Why is the upper cervical so taboo?

A

because of the course of the vertebral artery between C2 and occiput

44
Q

Where are most plaques found in the vertebral artery?

A

At the bifurcation of the internal and external vessels found in the mid to lower cervical spine.

45
Q

According to Kerry et at 2008, is HVLAT as risky as joint mobilizations?

A

No, a gentler, repeated movement could cause potential dissection

46
Q

Have Mckenzie or other non-thrust manual therapies been subject to the same degree of study?

A

No

47
Q

According to Kerry & Taylor 2010 what signs and symptoms should a PT be aware of during a potential CAD screening?

A

CN Palsies and Horner’s syndrome (ICA pathology)

48
Q

What nerve is most commonly affected in ICA pathology?

A

Hypoglossal (12)- Tongue out

49
Q

What are 3 other nerves that could be affected besides the most common (hypoglossal)?

A

Glosspharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory

50
Q

What % of ICA dissection patients is Horner’s syndrome present in?

A

82%

51
Q

Signs & Symptoms of Horner’s syndrome:

A
Head, Neck or Facial pain
Drooping eyelid (ptosis)
Sunken eye (enophthalmia)
Constricted pupil (miosis)Facial dryness (anhidrosis)
Retina &amp; Cerebral Ischemia signs
52
Q

What is Horner’s syndrome an interruption of?

A

Sympathetic nerve fibers supplying the eye

53
Q

Where does the superior cervical ganglion lie

A

In the posterior wall of the carotid artyery

54
Q

What does the ICA supply in terms of the eye?

A

Supplies the retina via the opthalmic artery

55
Q

What can an emboli from an ICA cause?

A

Retinal ischemic dysfunction

56
Q

What are the signs and symptoms of retinal ischemic dysfunction?

A

Painless episodic loss of vision
blackout
localize/patchy blurring of vision
Amaurosis Fugax - loss of vision to one eye

57
Q

What should the PT be aware of in terms of Headache?

A

A headache like never before

58
Q

According to Thomas et al 2011 are general cardiovascular risk factors enough to determine risk of CADS?

A

No, a neurological/neurovascular is better gauge

59
Q

1 complaint of symptoms in Thomas et al 2011 for VBA

A

HA, Neck pain, diziness

60
Q

What % of dissections had a history of minor mechanical neck trauma 3 weeks prior?

A

64%
