Q

because of the predicable movement of all axis listings, the odontoid process could by implication effect which one of the following functions?

A

autonomic breathing

18
Q

what tract of the spinal column when traction by the dentate ligaments affects the muscles of the pelvic girdle to produce a continual short leg?

A

spinocerebellar tract

19
Q

the primary role of the dentate ligament in the upper cervical area is to

A

restrict axial forces of the spinal cord

20
Q

which of the following is correctly paired?

A

AILP, SpL-variable

21
Q

All of the following statements concerning the medulla oblongata are true except:

A

according to Dr. BJ Palmer it’s transmitted by the foramen magnum

22
Q

in determining the presence of head rotations on the A-P open mouth which statement below is true for left head rotation?

A

less mastoid is showing on the left side, compared to the right side

23
Q

along with the direct traction on the cord by the dentate ligaments, what other factor produces a neurological deficit, as described by Dr. John Dr. Grostic?

A

ischemia to the lateral cords

24
Q

what tract of the spinal cord when affected by the dentate ligament would produce low back pain and or sciatica?

A

spinothalmic tract

25
Q

John F Grostic observed that as a rule, the patient must have only _____ mm of misalignment to have neurological manifestations.

A

0.75

26
Q

in grostic’s experience caring for patients with trigeminal neuralgia, what did he consider to be the most important factor in the relief of the condition?

A

atlas rotation

27
Q

Lhermittes sign, according to JD Grostic is

A

a common sensation felt by patients considered indicative of spinal cord involvement

28
Q

tic douloureaux is the principal disease of affecting which of the following:

A

sensory portion of CN V

29
Q

Choose the incorrect statement below:

A

site of maximum mechanical irritation = spinothalmic tract

30
Q

To help to exacerbate the possibility of a functional short leg, a patient should have their head in at lease 20 degrees of extension while performing a supine leg check

A

false

31
Q

The x-ray was taken without any compensation for head rotation

A

the spinous process of C2-C7 are off the midline, C2 being further off the median line with each successive spinous getting closer to the median line

32
Q

the x-ray was taken with the proper compensation made for head rotation.

A

the spinous processes of C2-C7 are vertically in line, slightly off the median line

33
Q

the x-ray was taken properly, there is evidence of a C2 misalignment

A

the spinous process of C2 is off the median line and with the other spinous’s are on the median line

34
Q

ASRP/ BdR/ SpL

A

Constant
Yes you can adjust C2
atlas and axis rotated clockwise

35
Q

ASLP/ SpR

A

neither constant or variable
yes you can adjust C2
atlas moved left
atlas and c2 rotated counter clockwise

36
Q

ASRA/ ESL

A

neither
cannot adjust C2 because atlas and axis have moved in opposite directions, any adjustment of C2 would exacerbate the misalignment of C1

37
Q

AIL/ BdL/ SpR

A

neither
you can consider adjusting C2
both c1 and c2 have moved in the same direction

38
Q

AIRP/ SpL

A

constant
yes you can adjust c2
clockwise rotation of both c1,c2

39
Q

AIRA/ BdL

A

constant
no cannot adjust C2
both c1/c2 have counterclockwise however they have moved laterally in opposite directions

40
Q

ASL/ ESL

A

constant

yes you can adjust c2

41
Q

AIRP/ BdL/ SpR

A

variable

no you cannot adjust c2

42
Q

AILP/ SpR

A

constant
yes you can adjust c2
both c1/c2 have rotated counter clockwise
