Cards

Term
C1 - atlas ...major movement?
Traverse processes modified to?
Definition
Yes; lateral masses
Term
Somatic dysfunction is always named with respect to?
Definition
the vertebra below it. Ex. C2 with respect to C3
Term
C2-Axis; Respeonsible for what C-spine movement?
Definition
Rotation...no movement
Term
C3-7
Transverse processes termed?
Uncinate joints function?
Type of mechanics for C2/C3 - C7/T1?
Are there neutral dysfunctions in the cervical spine?
Definition
Articullar pillars
Lushka = helps prevents herniation and promotes stability
Type II somatic dysfunction...same side sidebending and rotation
No neutral cervical dysfunctions
Term
Examine for what dysfunction before cervical? Why?
Definition
Upper thoracic dysfunction because of sympathetic influence and muscular connection
Term
Obliques Muscles?
Definition
Paper turned left sideways
P=platysma
T=Trapezius
L=levator scapulae
S=Sternocleidomastoid
Term
Prevertebral muscles
Definition
Love long round lollipops
L=Longus Colli
L=Longus Capitus
R=Rectus capitus anterior
L=Lateralis
Term
Scalenes (from where to where?)
Longus Colli (from where to where?)
Erector spinae is also a muscle that affects C-Spine
Definition
scalenes = lateral portions of C-spine to first and second ribs
Longus Colli = C1-C6 down to T2/T3 affectin T3 and T4
Term
What ligaments support the dens?
Posterior longitudinal ligament (from where to where?)...and why falls on butt produce neck pain?
Definition
cruciform and alar

Posterior longitudinal: runs from the occiput to the sacrum and attaches to C2 to L5, and then to sacrum and is also continuous with the tentorium membrane superiorly
Term
Lymphatics of the cervical spine
Definition
Superficial cervical lymphatics; brain has no lymph drainage
Term
Nerves/vessels of C-Spine
Definition
Sympathetic cervical ganglia; cervical and brachial plexuses

Vertebral artery passes through transverse foramen in the articullar pillars
Term
Cervical Ranges (angles) of

Flexion/extension
Rotation
Sidebending
Definition
130 degrees total
90 degrees rotation each way
35degrees each side
Term
Typical mechanics segments in C-spine

C-Spine exceptions
Definition
Typical = C2-7
Atypical = C0/C1 mainly ext./flexion
=C1/C2 rotation only
Term
Five Somatic Dysfunctions of C-Spine
Definition
1. TART
2. Single segments
3. Group restriction
4. Soft tissue disfunction = myofascial strain, reflex sympathetic dystonia
5. Viscerosomatic dysfunction = gsatroesophageal reflux may cause inflammation of esophagus which may cause segmental viscero somatic reflux in C-spine; esophagus to C2/C3 vagus division affects parasymphathetic control of heart and upper bronchial tree. If viscera become diseased then segmental facilitation and reflex arc formation.
Term
Somatic dysfunction treatments:

A.specific joint motion restriction
B. Soft tissue restriction
C. Further diagnostic work
Definition
A. Muscle energy, HVLA, counterstrain, cranial
B. cranial, indirect, myofascial release, soft tissue
C. X-ray, CT scan, MRI, EKG
Term
Clinical reasons for examining the cervical region (diseases)
Definition
cervicocephaglia, cerivcobrachial; muscle cephaglia (tension headache), ear pain, TMJ, swallowing dysfunction
Term
Muscles that do extension and lateral bending.
Definition
Splenius capitus, longissimus capitus, superior oblique
Term
Action of trapezius on head

action of rectus posteriors vs rectus anterior vs rectus bending
Definition
traps only extend head

for rectus muscles, just look at the position; rectus capitius also rotates
Term
Sternocliedomastoid
Definition
LAteral bending and flexion through the anterior fibers
Term
Longus capitis, suprahyoid and infra hyoid muscles
Definition
all involved in head flexion
Term
Rotators of the head (ipsilateral)
Definition
splenius capitis, longissimus capitis, inferior oblique, rectus capitis posterior
Term
Contralateral rotators of the head?
Definition
sternocliedomastoid, and semispinalis capitis
Term
Occipitoatlantal joint...direction of roation and sidebending?
Definition
opposite direction
Term
Diagnosis of somatic dysfunction based on
Definition
TART
Term
inferior thyroid artery supplies?
Definition
cervical area
Term
Articullar pillars

Lateral mass of the vertebrae

Massa lateralis atlantis
Definition
column like structures

pedicle of the vertebral arch, connect lamina to body

lateral mass of atlas
Term
Evaluating cervical region steps (five total)
Definition
1. Get history of trauma
2. Observe posture
3. Neurovascular evaluation
4. Orthopedic eval.
5. Osteopathic evaluation
Term
Motion testing procedure
Definition
1. Gross (seated for active, supine for passive)
2. Regional (translate neck left or right)
3. Segmental motion (many steps)
Term
Testing segmental motion
Definition
1. occipitoatlantal
2. atlantoaxial
3. C2-C7...type II mechanics
4. Sidebending/translation test
5. Rotation
6. Flexion extension
7. Diagnosis O/A
8. Diagnosis A/A
Term
Somatic dysfunction gets gets BETTER in both flexion and extension is called?
Definition
neutral
Term
naming O/A...flexed, side bent left and rotated right

What can be inferred about O/A? ex. lets say we translate to right easier
Definition
O/A FRrSl

Rotation can be inferred...ex. sidebent left and rotated right
Term
Naming A/A...rotated left
-how is the barrier for this dysfunction engaged?
Definition
A/A Rl
-by rotating to right
