Majority of rotation of the head occurs at the ___ junction

A

Atlanto-Axial joint (C1-C2) held in place by the transvere ligament but can be loose or lax in individuals with trisomy 21 (not the cervical vertebrae)

2
Q

A

….disc problem

3
Q

__side shoulder level tends to be lower

A

Dominant

4
Q

Acute torticollis

A

Facet dysfunction, inability to move head from one side to another, limitation in rotation and side bending

5

A
C5 and 6 - biceps
c6 and 7 - Brachioradiais
C7 - triceps
L3-4 - patellar
L4-5 - posterjior tibial
L5-S1 - medial hamdstrings
S1-2 - lateral hamstrings and achillles
6

Assessment of posture

A

Ear hole should be in line with acromion process

23
Q

Vertebral artery test

A

Lay supsect patient (dizzy, nystagmus, etc) supine, extend cervical spine, laterally flexing and rotate spine to close off vertebral artery on corresponding side looking for nystagmus or nausea

24
Q

Spurlings (foraminal compression test)

A

Gently compress C spine from top of head and try to elicit radiation of pain in suspected disc herniation patient, follow up with lifting mastoid process to see symptoms alleviate (distraction)

25
Q

3 most common lumbar spine spondylopathies

A

Spondylosis - disc degeneration
Spondylolysis - stress fracture in defect in pars interarticularis
Spondylolisthesis - forward displacemenet of one vertebrae on another

26
Q

Disc prolapse vs extrusion

A

Prolapse sees nucleus pulposis herniating into annulus fibrosis, extrusion is full rupture into the external space of the nucleus pulposis (more severe, see foot drop and muscle atrophy)

Q

Straight leg raise (lasegue’s) test

A

Supine with hip medially rotated and knee extended, flex hip, positive is reproduction of symptoms indicating nerve compression/tension, can modify by stretching spine further by having them put chin to chest

40
Q

Slump test

A

A way to test for fake back pain that is same as straight leg raise but sitting upright, should cause symptoms same as straight leg raise

41
Q

Stork test

A

A way to test for spondylolysis, have take a single leg stance extend lumbar spine, positive test is reproduction of symptoms (sharp localized L spine pain)

42
Q

Hoover test

A

A way to test for fake or “conversion” disorder that asks patient to do a straight leg raise in supine while feeling for downward pressure under opposite heel if genuinely trying to raise leg but cannot vs if exaggerating symptoms
