Q

The temporal bones move with what other cranial bone? Why is this important?

Occiput

-Mandible swings on temporal bones, thus may be treated

Q

The facial bones move with what other bones?

20
Q

True or false: torsions cross midline

Study These Flashcards
A

False–never cross midline

21
Q

What are the two axes that are used with sidebending-rotations?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • 2 vertical axes

- AP axis

22
Q

What produces sidebending rotations?

Study These Flashcards
A

Lateral force directed exactly at the level of the SBS

23
Q

True or false: with sidebending-rotations occur, the two motions occur at the same time

24
Q

How do you name sidebending rotations?

Study These Flashcards
A

For the side of the convexity (the side the proverbial egg falls out of)

25
What are the axes involved with vertical strains?
2 transverse
26
What is the direction for vertical strain patterns?
Same
27
How are vertical strain patterns named?
Direction of the *base* of the SBS
28
What happens to the 2nd and 5th fingers with a superior vertical strain?
2nd = move inferiorly 5th = move superiorly
29
What happens to the temporal bones with a superior vertical strain?
Temporals move into internal rotation--follow the occiput
30
What happens to the temporal bones with an inferior vertical strain?
Temporals move into external rotation--follow the occiput
31
What are the axes involved with lateral strains?
2 vertical
32
What is the movement for lateral strains?
Same
33
How are lateral strains named?
Base of the sphenoid moves left or right
34
What causes SBS compressions?
Traumatic blows to the nose, directly in line with the SBS
35
What is the axis that SBS compressions happen in?
AP
36
What is the movement of SBS compressions?
Little movement is felt--prevents flexion/extension
37
What will happen to the fingers with a SBS compression?
Approximation of the index and pinky
38
What is the indication for a parietal lift?
HA at the vertex
39
How can you think of internal and external rotation of the parietal bones?
Think of a vector pointing inferiorly at the inferior edge of the suture
40
What is the basic principle that is used with the frontal lift? What happens to the frontal bones?
Internally rotates the frontals to disengage them from their related bones Permit them to externally rotate and widen
41
What are the two roles of the CV-IV compression?
Stimulate the body's therapeutic potency to heal stimulates prostaglandins to assist in myometrial contractility--PAST their due dates
42
True or false: you never do any cranial technique with head trauma patients
True
43
What is the purpose of the v spread?
Release any stuck sutures
44
Why would you use the VSD?
Sinusitis, rhinitis, migraines
45
What is the purpose of temporal rocking?
Temporarily reduce or increase the CRI in anxious patients
