Techniqes Flashcards
Passive, indirect technique that places component of body into a neutral position, diminishing, tissue and joint in all planes. Similar to counter-strain; passive
Faciliated Positional Release
What makes FPR different from counterstrain?
FPR has a compressive component and is only held for 3-5 seconds
Indirect-Direct technique that uses the setup of FPR (indirect) and then using the pt. anatomy as a long lever uses a force vector carrying a motion via the least resistance toward the restrictive barrier
Still Technique
Direct technique that uses muscle contraction of the pt.
Muscle Energy
Direct technique that meets the restrictive barrier and then passes through it with a force
HVLA
What is the spinous process level located at T1-3? T4-6? T7-9? T10? T11? T12?
1) At the level of the transverse vertebrae
2) 1/2 a level down from the transverse vertebrae
3) full segment down from the transverse vertebrae
4) full segment
5) 1/2
6) At transverse vertebrae
Counternuate?
1) Posterior rotation of saccrum (extension)
2) Occurs in cranial flexion motion
Nuate
Think: Nutation= Nod forward
1) Anterior rotation of sacrum (flexion)
2) Occurs in cranial extension
How should the lumbar vertebrae be in a sacral torsion dysfunction?
1) Lumbar should be side bent towards and rotated away compared to motion of sacrum
What are the four different sacral motions that occur?
1) Respiratory (superior transverse axis)
2) Inherent (craniosacral) motion
3) Postural motion (middle transverse axis)
4) Dynamic motion (Oblique axis)
How does the sacrum move in inhalation of air?
1) Sacrum moves posteriorly
What oblique axis is engaged during walking motion?
1) Side that is planted to ground will engage oblique axis on same side
What are findings of a posterior fibular head?
1) Likes to go in supination
2) Internal rotation
3) Inversion
4) Plantar flexion
What are findings of a anterior fibular head?
1) Likes to go in pronation
2) External rotation
3) Eversion
4) Dorsiflexion
What makes up the medial longitudinal arch?
1) Cuneform
2) Navicular
3) Talus
4) 1 to 3 metatarsals
What makes up the lateral longitudinal arch?
1) Cuboid
2) Metatarsals
3) Calcaneus
What is the rate of Cranial Rhythmic Impulses (CRI)?
1) 10-14 cycles per minute
Somatic manifestation of a visceral dysfunction known as “Ganglioform contractions”
Chapman’s points
Components of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism
1) Inherent Motility of the Brain and Spinal Cord
2) Fluctutation of CSF
3) Mobility of Intracranial and Instraspinal membranes
4) Articular Mobility of the Cranial bones
5) Involuntary mobility of the sacrum
What do your fingers palpate in a vault hold?
1) Index = greater wing of the sphenoid
2) Middle = squamous portion of temporal bone
3) Ring finger = mastoid portion of temporal bone
4) Little finger on the lateral angle of occiput
What occurs in inhalation/flexion?
1) Sphenobasilar synchondrosis is elevated
2) External rotation of paired bones
3) Sphenoid rotates anteriorly
4) Occiput rotates posteriorly
5) Sacrum is pulled up and posterior
What occurs in exhalation/extension?
1) Sphenobasilar synchondrosis is lowered
2) Internal rotation of paired bones
3) Sphenoid rotates posteriorly
4) Occiput rotates anteriorly
5) Sacrum goes down and anterior
What are the axis of Side bending/Rotation?
1) Two vertical parallel axes
2) AP axis
What is the motion of a Side bending/rotation?
1) Sphenoid and occiput rotate in opposite direction in vertical axis
2) Sphenoid and occiput rotate in same direction on AP axis
Small tense, edematous areas of tenderness about the size of a fingertip that do not radiate pain
Tender point
