Week 2 (B) Flashcards
Describe the motion of the sacrum during explanation phase of cranio sacral motion
Flextion - Apex (tip of sacrum) moves anteriorly (forward )
Extension - apex moves posteriorly (back)
Describe the dural attachments to the sacrum and coccyx
Dural and arachnoid matter terminates in sacral canal at anterior wall , S2 Filum terminale (thin membrane thread) attaches to the coccyx, posteriorly. C1
With a hand under sacrum How might you stimulate the cranio system using the rhythmic motion
Still point induction
In a double contact, one hand under sacrum and other somewhere under vertebral column what do you consider to be the function
of the sacral hand
Hand under spine
Combined effect of the hands
Find resistance, expressions of resistance in system
Focus point
Create poles for energy for balance
How does the sphenoid basilar synchondrosis differ anatomically from other joints in the skull
Cartilaginous joint
How does the sphenoid basilar synchondrosis anatomical difference affect its function
More mobile
Why is the sphenoid basilar synchondrosis functional difference considered to be significant in CST
Fulcrum by which system operates.
Asymmetry from elsewhere in body is displayed in patterns
6 patterns of Sbs
Flexion / extension (flexion - sphenoid moves forward and down. Extension moves back and up)
Torsion ( sbs greater wings move twist inferior or superior)
Side bending (gap is created btw sphenoid body and basi- occiput on one side creating a narrowing on op side)
Lateral shift (sphenoid moves to one side while occiput moves to op side)
Vertical shift (sphenoid shifts superiorly or inferiorly to basi occiput)
Compression (sphenoid is compressed posteriorly toward occiput and occiput anterior to sphenoid)
Explain left side bending pattern of SBS , how it feels and happening at Sbs
The Sbs and basi-occiput creates a gap on one side and narrowing on the other side.
Therapest will feel a bulge one side of head while other feels caved in. (Caves in Thumb and little finger drawn towards each other, bulge thumb and little finger pushed apart)
Right side torsion pattern of the SBS , feels to therapest and description
Therapest will feel as if thumb is twisting up to top of head (superiorly) while other thumb moves down towards feet (inferiorly)
Like twisting a peach in half
Right side torsion- sphenoid greater wing twists superiorly on right and inferiorly in left, relative to occiput
Give the name and the root origin of the peripheral nerve associated with carpal tunnel syndrome
Median C6,7,8 and T1
Give the name and root origin of the peripheral nerve that supplies digits 5 + 4 of the hand
Ulnar C7,8 + T 1
What are the root origin of the sciatic nerve
L4,5 S 1,2,3
Which nerve root emerges btw vertebrae c7 and T1
C8
What sympathetic levels are associated with
- head / eyes
- thoracic viscera (lungs & heart)
- upper abdominal viscera (stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas etc)
- lower abdomen and pelvic viscera (colon, uterus, prostate, general is)
- T1-T2
- T2 - T6
- T6 - T10
- T10- L2
What visceral and other (mechanical, emotional) associations would you associate with :-
- the thoracic - lumber junction T12/L1
- T9
- T4
- bladder, intestines, kidney , sacral
- solar plexus, adrenals, liver sympathetic stimulation, anger, fear.
- heart , lungs, heart chakra, anxiety
What vertebral levels would you associate with:-
- eyes
- lungs
- duodenum
- llio- caecal valve
- bladder
- T1 , T2 C1-4 (Sympathetic and parasympathetic )
- T2-6
- T7 - 9
- T10 - 11
- T10 - L2
What movement is felt at the feet during the expansion and contraction phase of the CS motion
Expansion phase - feet External rotation
Contraction phase - feet internal rotation
For what conditions or under what circumstances might you use fasciae unwinding
relief of Tension in body, emotional release scar tissue release Muscle strain (sprain) Sport injuries Emotional tension or trauma Twist bruises
Standard listening post to evaluate the fascia from different perspectives
Feet, shins, thighs, iliac crest , lower thorax and upper thorax
What is Tissue memory
The fascia become tense due to accidents , injuries or sprains that occur to the body. The emotions created with the accident etc are held in the tense tissue memory. Fascia is a thin web of connective Tissue that envelop all
Cells, muscle fibre organs etc. It is everywhere. When we release the tension via fascia unwind it affect and can be felt in other places of the body releasing memories of past events
What are the 3 expressive rhythmic motion of the contraction phase
Exhalation
Extension
Internal rotation
What are the 3 expressive rhythmic motion of the expansion phase
Inhalation
Flexion
External rotation
What is the opposite of Superiorly Inhalation External rotation Flexion
Inferior
Exhalation
Internal rotation
Extension
