Q

Vomer flexion

A

rotates around a transverse axis
wide flat palate
posterior part depresses the palatine, flattening the roof of the mouth
anterior part ascends to allow premaxillae to externally rotate

Vertical strain named

A

named for the direction of the base of the sphenoid

17
Q

Vertical strain motion

A

motion happens in the same direction

18
Q

Vertical strain palpation

A

superior - 1st fingers move away from practitioner, pinky fingers move toward practitioner
inferior - 1st fingers move toward the practitioner, pinky fingers move away from practitioner

19
Q

Torsion axis

A

one sagittal axis (AP)

20
Q

Torsion named

A

named for the higher greater wing of the sphenoid

21
Q

Torsion motion

A

motion happens in opposite directions about the axis

22
Q

Torsion palpation

A

1st finger and pinky of one hand move superiorly while the other hand moves inferiorly

23
Q

Sidebending rotation axis

A
one sagittal (AP)
two vertical
24
Q

sidebending rotation named

A

named for the convexity developed in the cranium

full side

25
sidebending rotation motion
motion is in the same direction about sagittal axis | motion is opposite on the vertical axes
26
sidebending rotation palpation
named side feels "fuller" 1st finger and pinky move away from each other and out. opposite side "shrinks" 1st finger and pinky move toward each other and in
27
compression axis
sagittal (AP)
28
compression causes
significant trauma, depression, anxiety | may mimic other patterns
29
location of trauma to cause lateral strain
A or P to SBS
30
location of trauma to cause vertical strain
either in front or behind SBS on superior or inferior aspect of the head
31
location of trauma to cause torsion
hit with a roll
32
location of trauma to cause sidebending rotation
blow right to the ear
33
axis of motion of the sacrum
superior transverse posterior S2
