cervical anatomy and kines review Flashcards
(23 cards)
resting position
midway between flex and ext
close packed position of the neck
full extension
capsular pattern of the neck
SB and rotation equally limited > ext > flex
cervical spine pain generators
o intervertebral disc
o ZAJ
o UVJ
o Nerve roots
o Muscles
o Ligaments
Cervicobrachial syndrome
nerve root, muscle, disc, facet, UVJ
Cervicocephalic
cervicogenic headache
cervicomedullary
spinal cord involvement
facet orientation
45 degrees between transverse and frontal plane
facet has the most pain with…
3D motions
facet pain distribution…
palm print pain
UVJ helps guide which motion
sagittal plane movement
kinematics of the UVJ
convex on concave roll and slide in opposite directions
UVJ has most pain with…
SB, frontal pain
typical cervical flexion
inferior facet of superior vertebra slides superior and ant on superior facet of inferior vertebra. creates upglide bilaterally
extension of typical cervical
inferior facet of superior vertebra slides inferior and post on superior facet of inferior vertebra. creates upglide bilaterally
progression of disc degeneration
End-plate fracture
Internal disc disruption
Protrusion
Annular tear
Prolapse
Extrusion
Sequestration
PLL resists
flexion
ALL limits and info
extension and reinforce disc
can be damaged in whiplash
transverse ligament resists…
flexion and post displacement of atlas
alar ligament restricts…
rotation
atlas facets
concave superior articular facets run from post/lat to ant/med at 30 from sagittal plane
atlas orientation
superiorly and 20 degrees from the horizontal plane
upper cervical has what type of paired motion
coupled (opposite)
