when we talk about torque what do you think of
gonstead
where do we have axial plane facets and TPs
horizontal
upper cervicals
where do we have coronal plane facets and TPs
lower cervicals, thoracics
where do facets of the spine become sagittal
T12
what is facet tropism
1 sagittal facet + 1 coronal facet
diversified line of drive (LOD)
Posterior to anterior - PA
Lateral to medial - LM
Inferior to superior - IS
except for C1 which is SI
gonstead line of drive (LOD)
Posterior to anterior Lateral to medial Medial to lateral Inferior to superior Superior to inferior Clockwise Counterclockwise
when does gonstead use medial to lateral line of drive
mammillary process in lumbar spine only***
gonstead line of drive is always __
what about if we are talking about IS and SI LOD
perpendicular to the curve of the spine
above C3 - IS *C3- PA below C3- SI *T6 - PA blow T6 - IS *L3 - PA below L3 - SI
what are static listings
fixation, malposition, subluxation
where body or SP is stuck
you can cross them off when you see them - body is malpositioned to the right - body is to the right
what are motion listings
diminished
decreased
restrictred
where body or SP can not go
describe disc wedge or lateral bending listings
right superior TP/body and left inferior TP/body
always stand on side of convexity
need TORQUE LOD to fix
TORQUE all about lateral bending and disc wedging
describe rotation listings
DO NOT TORQUE ROTATION LISTINGS
PR - spinous right
BL - body left
all of gonstead listings start with what
P
except atlas then its A
what is the listing formula
- level base
- lateral flexion
STOP - stand on open wedge side - rotation - motion/static
- circle what they asked
Line of drive also can be said as
line of correction
open wedge is also up or down on side posture
up
T6 has decreased right rotation and anterior right TP
PR and BL
decreased right rotation and fixed to the left
PR and BL
decreased right sp rotation and malpositioned body to the right
PL and BR
tissue prominent on the left
PR and BL
patient can’t rotate head to the right and sp is malpositioned to the right
PR and BL
paraspinal spasm on the left
PR and BL
anterior transverse process on the right
PR and BL
