21
Q

Edema “end feel” is described as?

A

Mushy or fluid-filled sponge

22
Q

What is the “key lesion”?

A

Somatic dysfunction that causes and maintains a whole pattern of dysfunction including secondary SD’s

23
Q

If a function is corrected but keeps returning, what do you do next?

A

Determine whether or not it is caused by a reflex

24
Q

How do we name?

A

For the FREEDOM of motion

25
Q

Out of 2 adjacent vertebrae, which one exhibits the restriction and bears the name?

A

Upper vertebrae

26
Q

Fryette Type 1 vertebrae rotate how and into what?

A

Opposite and into convexity

27
Q

How many vertebrae for a group in Type 1?

A

3 or more

28
Q

Where does maximum rotation occur in Type 1?

A

At the APEX

29
Q

Which is a group segment?

A

Type 1

30
Q

Which is neutral and opposite?

A

Type 1

31
Q

In type 2, what does the segment rotate into?

A

Concavity

32
Q

How does rotation and sidebending occur in type 2?

A

To the SAME side

33
Q

What is Fryette Type 3?

A

Initiating motion of a vertebral segment in any plane of motion (flexion/extension, sidebending, or rotation) will reduce the movement of that segment in other planes of motion

34
Q

What can be classfied as Type 1 or Type 2?

A

ONLY thoracic or lumbar

35
Q

C2-C7 is what?

A

Type 2 like

36
Q

What is C1 on C2? (atlas on axis)

A

Pure ROTATION

37
Q

What could cause type 1? (group)

A

Habitual posture/activity, may be caused by trauma

38
Q

What 3 methods are for motion testing?

A
  1. Gross motion testing and AGR
  2. Segmental testing
  3. Fascial pattern
39
Q

Do you rescreen if AGR finds it to be above diaphragm?

A

Yes, to T12

40
Q

Tell where to treat a vertical band in each region from AGR

A
  1. Cervical - treat the head
  2. Thoracic - treat UE
  3. Lumbar - treat LE
41
Q

If it’s not a vertical band in the lumbars, what do we do?

A

Compare deviation on standing and seated flexion test

42
Q

Horizontal band in the lower lumbars?

A

Treat that segment

43
Q

No horizontal band in lower lumbars?

A

Treat sacrum

44
Q

Do you repeat the screening after?

A

Yes

45
Q

What are the 3 segmental motion testing planes?

A
  1. Coronal
  2. Transverse
  3. Sagittal
46
Q

What is a common compensatory pattern?

A

Alternating patterns of fascia preferences

47
Q

What can treating the compnesatory pattern do?

A

Affect 4 major diaphragms of the body

48
Q

What did Zink find?

A

People with the common compensatory fascial pattern were “healthy” and those who did not have them non-compensated and traumatic in origin or seen in chronic illness

49
Q

Where is greatest trauma often found?

A

Transition zones (OA, CT, TL, LS)

50
Q

4 things that addressing CCP does?

A
  1. Relieve myofascial torsions in body
  2. Affect ANS
  3. Improve diaphragmatic function
  4. Improve venous/lymphatic flow
