Q

PC 1 (inion)

A

Location: 1-2 cm inferior to external occipital protuberance, slightly lateral on insertion of semispinalis capitis

Treatment: cradle head, place non monitoring hand on forehead, flex neck to reach position of comfort

2
Q

PC 1

A

Location: about 3 cm below inion, 1 cm medial to occipitomastoid suture, press anterior/medial

Treatment: E SARA

3
Q

PC 2

A

Location: in main muscle mass about 2-3 cm lateral to midline and just below occiput

Treatment: E SARA

4
Q

PC 3

A

Location: inferolateral aspects of C2

Treatment: F SARA (flex to 45)

5
Q

PC 4-7

A

Location: inferolateral aspect of spinous processes (named for spinal nerves that exit below the vertebrae)
** PC 5 is actually on C4 SP**

Treatment: E SARA

6
Q

PC 8

A

Location: inferolateral aspect of C7 spinous process

Treatment: F SARA or E SARA (depends on patient, try both)

7
Q

Location of PT 1-12

A

On spinous process of respective vertebra

8
Q

Treatment PT 1-6

A

Patient is prone, arms draped over top of tab,e, doc cups patients chin with one hand and use the other to monitor tender point

Passively extend neck, fine tuning with SARA

9
Q

Treatment for PT 7-9

A

Patient is prone, arms draped over top of tab,e, doc cups patients chin with one hand and use the other to monitor tender point (place pillow under chest)

Passively extend neck, fine tuning with SARA

10
Q

Treatment for PT 10-12

A

Prone with arms draped over table, pillow under chest, doc stands at side of table and monitors with the other, grasps opposite ASIS

Raise hip to induce extension of lower t spine

11
Q

PR 1

A

Location: posterior margin of rib head beneath margin of trapezius

Treatment: seated, doc standing behind, place patients arm on side of dysfunction on students knee. (E STRT)

12
Q

PR 2

A

Location: superior surface of angles of ribs, at medial border of scapula, 2.5 inches lateral to midline

Treatment: seated, doc standing behind, arm on side of dysfunction over doc knee. F SARA the torso, then the head

13
Q

PR 3-6

A

Location: superior surface of angles of ribs, medical border of scapula, 2.5 inches lateral to midline

Treatment: seated, place arm on side of dysfunction on docs knee SARA the trunk by grasping the shoulder

14
Q

PL 1-5 SP

A

Location: midline, on spinous process

Treatment: prone, student standing on same side, extends ipsilateral hip

15
Q

PL 1-3 TP

A

Location: respective transverse processes

Treatment: prone, standing on opposite side, extend ipsilateral and rotate toward tender point

16
Q

UPL5

A

Location: superior medial edge of PSIS

Treatment: prone, standing on opposite side, extend ipsilateral and rotate toward tender point

17
Q

LPL 5

A

Location: inferior aspect of PSIS

Treatment: prone with this on dysfunctional side suspended over side of table, doc flexes hip and knee to 90, then add adduction and IR

18
Q

PL 3 lat and PL 4 lat

A

Location: 3 - 2/3 lateral between PSIS and tensor fascia lata
4 - posterior margin of tensor fascia lata

Treatment for both: prone, stand on whichever side, extend patients ipsilateral hip

19
Q

High Ilium (HI)

A

Location: press against lateral aspect of PSIS

Treatment: prone, stand on same side of dysfunction. Monitor TP, extend hip

20
Q

High Ilium Flair Out (HIFO)

A

Location: 1.75-0.25 medial to lower edge of PSIS

Treatment: prone, student on whichever side, extends patients ipsilateral leg, then induce adduction and slight ER

21
Q

Piriformis

A

Location: 1/2 - 2/3 distance from ILA to greater trochanter

Treatment: prone, student on same side of dysfunction, monitor TP, flex patients leg over table to 135 degrees, abduct and externally rotate

22
Q

Flair in Sacroiliac (FISI)

A

Location: 4” below PSIS, slightly lateral

Treatment: prone, side of dysfunction, abducts patients hip, folds leg over table, flexing only enough to allow knee to clear the table and externally rotating (lifting it up)

23
Q

PS 1 bilateral

A

Location: 1/2 inch media, to the inferior aspect of the PSIS bilaterally

Treatment: prone, stand on side of patient, apply posterior to anterior pressure diagonally opposite location of TP (opposite ILA)

24
Q

PS 2-4 midline

A

Location: midline on sacrum between or below sacral spines

Treatment: prone, stand on side of patient, apply posterior to anterior pressure on midline apex or base of sacrum to produce transverse axis rotation

25
Q

PS 5 bilateral

A

Location: 1/4 inch medial and superior to ILA bilaterally

Treatment: prone, stand on side of patient, posterior to anterior pressure diagonally opposite to TP
(If PS 5 is tender on left, apply pressure to right sacral sulcus)
