Q

T7 decreased P-A extension, decreased left rotation, decreased right lateral bend. What is the listing?

A

T7 will not glide forward, so it’s stuck posterior. Spinous will not move right and superior (stuck to the left) therefore L. Cannot close down on the right side with right lateral bend and this is the opposite side of where the spinous is located (stuck) therefore I. The convexity is on the opposite side of the spinous, therefore must use transverse process. So T.

Q

What is anthropometrics (anthropometry)?

A

Refers to the measurements of the human individual. It was an early tool of physical anthropology to determine the variation in human structure, in identification, in
paleontology and in various attempts to correlate physical with geo-cultural and psychological traits.

25
What points are used to identify list?
Sternum to baseline
26
What points are used to identify head tilt?
Glabella, nose, chin, parallel baseline
27
Tissue prominency or AKA....
Bony prominency
28
With a tissue prominency, what structures would one mainly find on a vertebra?
Lamina, tvp, mamilaries, spinous.
29
Every effect has a cause and every cause has effects.
Principle #17 Cause and Effect
30
- Innate Intelligence adapts forces and matter for the body as long as it can do so without breaking a universal law, or Innate Intelligence is limited by the limitations of matter.
#24 Limits of adaption
31
Interference with the transmission of Innate forces causes incoordination of disease.
#30 The cause of dis-ease.
32
The signs of life are evidence of the intelligence of life.
#18 Evidence of life
33
Interference with transmission in the body is always directly or indirectly due to subluxations in the spinal column.
#31 Subluxations
34
A "living thing" has an inborn intelligence within its body, called Innate Intelligence
#20 Innate intelligence
35
Active organization – homeostasis
#21 The mission of innate intelligence
36
Position/motion
Kinesiopathology
37
Neuropathology
Compression, stretch, axoplasmic flow
38
Asymmetry, weakness, tonicity
Myopathology
39
Edema/inflammation cascade
Histopathology
40
With which components of the VSC would you want to take a history?
All of them
41
What is the 4th T?
Threshold
42
For which aspect of the VSC could you evaluate by testing blood chemistry?
Histopathology
43
T/F X-ray, CAT scans, and MRI's cannot be used to identify misalignments?
False, they can
44
What is stress diagnostic imaging?
X-raying the patient using bending views
45
What are inclinometers and gioniometers used to measure?
Range of motion
46
How would you check for the A aspect of the PART system?
Observation Static/dynamic palpation Diagnostic imaging
47
How would you check for the R aspect of the PART system?
Observation Motion palpation Stress diagnostic imaging Range of motion measuring devices
48
How would you check for the T aspect of the PART system?
Observation (Visible changes such as signs of spasm, inflammation, swelling, rigidity, etc.) Palpation Use of instrumentation Tests for length and strength ( Document leg length, scoliosis contracture, and strength of muscles that relate).

What aspect of the VSC can postural analysis reveal?
Where the VSC is chronic
51
What kind of pathologies can postural analysis reveal?

52
What are the choices for list?

53
How do you identify overall list in lateral view?

55
How do you identify thoracic rotation?
Chest, back prominence.
56
What are the causes of a thoracic kyphosis?
``` Degenerative diseases of the spine Fractures caused by Osteoporotic compression fractures Injury (trauma) Endocrine diseases Connective tissue disorders Infection (tuberculosis) Muscular dystrophy Polio Spina bifida Tumors ```
57

Parallel grid line
61
How do you detect a lumbar lordosis?
Physical examination and visualiztion of a “swayback” Radiological mensuration
62
How do you identify head rotation
Facial prominence (Jaw or cheek)
63
What is the MC type of scoliosis in adolescents?
Idiopathic (curves worsen during growth spurts)

Physical examination and visualiztion of a spinal curves - Scoliometer Radiological mensuration (Cobb Angles)

Scoliometer readings of 5 degrees or more tells us what?
Have high likelihood of Cobb angle greater than 10 degrees on X-Ray

Iliac crests - PSIS's - parallel grid line
67
How do you best detect pelvic rotation?
Gluteal prominence
68
What is used for the most consistent leg check?
Hydraulic HyLo table
69

Bottom of the shoe
70
What should you use as a valid frame of reference for a leg check?
Seam of the shoe or "like points". Medial maleoli can also be used but they are subject to anatomical variance so it's not the most accurate.
