Somatic Dysfunctions Flashcards
what nomenclature would you use to diagnose an SC joint that prefers an anterior glide
Extension SD
Describe Adduction SD of the SC joint.
SC joint prefers superior glide assoc. w/ shoulder depression
What are your mnemonics for the coupled SDs of the SC joint?
Super Ant Extreme Addition
Describe Abduction SD of the SC Joint.
inferior glide assoc. w/ shoulder elevation
what nomenclature would you use to diagnose an SC joint that prefers a posterior glide?
Flexion SD
what is the prefered position of the clavicle for an AC joint w/ an acromion a step UP?
depressed clavicle
or
clavicle inferior to the acromion
what are the coupled motions for a Step Up SD of the AC joint?
Mnemonic: SIB
superior glide
Internal rotation
Abduction
what are the coupled motions for a Step Down SD of the AC joint?
mnemonic: DIE
Adduction
Inferior glide
External rotation
Anterior glide of the carpal bones is assoc. w/ what SD of the wrist?
extension SD
T or F: lateral glide of the carpal bones is assoc. with Abduction of the wrist.
False
lateral glide of the carpal bones is assoc. with adduction of the wrist
T or F: Innominate Inflares are almost always assoc. with a posterior innominate
false
inflares are usually assoc. with an anterior innominate
What are your mnemonics for the minor glides of the TF and FF joints?
TF: AM
FF: PM
what minor glide of the TF joint is assoc. with internal rotation of the knee
posterolateral glide
Posteromedial glide of the FF joint describes what SD of the FF joint?
Posterior Fibula
What is your mnemonic for coupled motions of the TF joint?
Amber Ex
what are your mnemonics for the coupled motions of the FF joint?
Anterior fibula: denver-DF & Ever.
posterior fibula: supplant- PF & Supination
Describe the glide of the talus with PF and DF respectively.
during PF, the talus glides anteriorly as the foot is being pushed down
during DF, the talus glides posteriorly as the foot is being pushed up
What is your mnemonic for the coupled motions of tibia and talus at the TC joint?
Amber In
internal rotation of the tibia is assoc. w/ what minor glide of the talus at the TC joint?
AM glide of the talus
what nomenclature do you use to describe a tarsal bone that is more superficial in the plantar fascia?
plantar glide of the tarsal
what are the rules for the seated flexion test?
torsion: + on side of axis
unilateral: + on SD side
List the L5 rules for sacral diagnosis
axis is ALWAYS the SB component of L5
sacrum ALWAYS rotates OPPOSITE the L5 SB component
seated flexion test is always OPPOSITE the side of the oblique axis
what are the AP rules for sacral torsion?
base & ILA are aligned vertically in 3D space
eg: left P sulcus & base
what are the AP rules for unilateral sacral SD?
base & ILA are not aligned vertically in 3D space
eg: left P sulcus but an A left base
