Tonsils - C2 articular pillars
Tongue - C2 articular pillars

17
Q

Outline the pathway of Head and Neck LN palpation in a rotary motion

A

Occipital –> posterior auricular –> pre-auricular –> tonsillar –> submandibular –> submental –> anterior superficial –> posterior superficial –> deep cervical –> supraclavicular

18
Q

Note the LNs of the upper extremities

A

Anterior/Pectoral
Posterior/Subscapularis
Lateral/Humoral
Epitrochlear

19
Q

Suboccipital release, Thoracic inhibition and Lumbar inhibition are what kind of OMT?

A

Soft Tissue

20
Q

Rib Raising and treatment for Rib 1 SD are what kind of OMT?

A

Articulatory

21
Q

Cervical spine OA and AA SD, Cervical Spine SD and ribs 1 and 2 inhalation/exhalation SD are treated with which type of OMT?

A

Muscle Energy

22
Q

Cervical Spine Tenderpoint are treated with what type of OMT?

A

Counterstrain

23
Q

Diaphragm Doming is what type of OMT?

A

Myofascial Release (direct)

24
Q

Describe how to perform Adson’s Test and what dysfunctions it is looking for

A
  1. Stand behind seated pt and monitor radial pulse
  2. Slight abduct the arm and extend it at the shoulder and elbow
  3. Externally rotate arm and instruct pt to look toward ipsilateral side

Test is positive if radial pulse decreases/disappears or if pts has pain/paresthesia

Checking for hypertonic scalenes that may be compressing brachial plexus

25
Q

Describe how to perform Military Posture Test and what dysfunctions it is looking for

A
  1. Stand behind seated patient and palpate radial pulse
  2. Extend shoulder with one hand while depressing clavicle and shoulder with the other

Test is positive if pulse diminishes or pt feels pain/paresthesia

Checking for SD of first rib and clavicle that could be impinging brachial plexus

26
Q

Describe how to perform Wright’s Test and what dysfunctions it is looking for

A
  1. Stand behind seated pt and palpate radial pulse with one hand
  2. Abduct pts arm overhead with external rotation and extension

Test is positive if radial pulse decreases/disappears or if pts has pain/paresthesia

Checking for hypertonicity of pec minor which can compress brachial plexus

27
Q

Explain the Common Anterior Cervical Counterstrain points and their treatment positions

A

AC1 mandible - Ra
AC1 transverse process - Ra
AC2-6 - F to segment, Sa Ra
AC7 - F to segment, **St **Ra
AC8 - f-F, Sa Ra

28
Q

Explain the Common Posterior Cervical Counterstrain points and their treatment positions

A

PC1 inion - F St Ra
PC1 occiput - e-E with mild compression, Sa Ra
PC2 occuput - e-E with mild compression, Sa Ra
PC2 spinous process - e-E with mild compression, Sa Ra
PC3 spinous process - f-F, Sa Ra
PC4-8 spinous process - e-E to the segment, Sa Ra
PC3-C7 lateral - e-E to the segment, Sa Ra

29
Q

Outline the order of ENT lymphatic drainage

A

Release of thoracic inlet –> anterior cervical arches –> cervical chain drainage –> submandibular release –> mandibular drainage –> auricular drainage –> alternating nasal pressure and frontonasal distraction –> trigeminal stimualtion (supraorbital –> infraorbital –> mental) –> temporomandibular effleurage

30
Q

What is the treatment order/goals for the lymphatic approach to respiratory-circulatory model?

A
  1. Open myofascial pathways at transition areas (C-T, T-L, L-P)
  2. Maximize normal diaphragmatic motions
  3. Increase pressure differentials
  4. Mobilize targeted tissue fluids
31
Q

What are the three fundamental human needs for patients to be self-determined?

A

Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness

32
Q

What is rhinitis medicamentosum?

A

Rebound congestions from using decongestants too much - built a tolerance
