Answer 30

false

Question 31

The x-ray was taken without any compensation for head rotation

Answer 31

the spinous process of C2-C7 are off the midline, C2 being further off the median line with each successive spinous getting closer to the median line

Question 32

the x-ray was taken with the proper compensation made for head rotation.

Answer 32

the spinous processes of C2-C7 are vertically in line, slightly off the median line

Question 33

the x-ray was taken properly, there is evidence of a C2 misalignment

Answer 33

the spinous process of C2 is off the median line and with the other spinous's are on the median line

Question 34

ASRP/ BdR/ SpL

Answer 34

Constant Yes you can adjust C2 atlas and axis rotated clockwise

Question 35

ASLP/ SpR

Answer 35

neither constant or variable yes you can adjust C2 atlas moved left atlas and c2 rotated counter clockwise

Question 36

ASRA/ ESL

Answer 36

neither cannot adjust C2 because atlas and axis have moved in opposite directions, any adjustment of C2 would exacerbate the misalignment of C1

Question 37

AIL/ BdL/ SpR

Answer 37

neither you can consider adjusting C2 both c1 and c2 have moved in the same direction

Question 38

AIRP/ SpL

Answer 38

constant yes you can adjust c2 clockwise rotation of both c1,c2

Question 39

AIRA/ BdL

Answer 39

constant no cannot adjust C2 both c1/c2 have counterclockwise however they have moved laterally in opposite directions
