articulatory procedure procedure
1. Move the affected joint to the limit of all ranges of motion. Once a restrictive barrier is reached slowly and firmly, continue to apply gentle force against it. 2. At this time you may use respiratory cooperation or muscle energy activation to further increase myofascial stretch of tight tissues. 3. Return the articulation to its neutral position. 4. Repeat the process several times. 5. Cease repetition of motion when no further response is achieved.
thoracoabdominal dia release
-used to inc pressure gradients so can inc lymph return Indirect 1. Patientseated. 2. Physician standing behind patient. 3. Pass your hands around the thoracic cage (under the patient's arms) and introduce your fingers underneath the costal margin. 4. Test for motion by gently rotating the thoracic tissues. 5. Treatment phase: With your fingers still underneath the costal margin, hold the thoracic tissues in the direction which it moves more freely. Allow the fascia to unwind, until it settles into a rhythmic vertical motion.

Trendelenberg's test
assess glut med muscle strength -physician stands behind the patient -patient pick one of legs up off the floor -Normally, the gluteus medius muscle should pull up the unsupported pelvis to keep it level. -A positive test occurs when the pelvis falls, which indicates weakness in the gluteus medius muscle
Ant & post drawer test
assess the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments -patient supine with the hip flexed to 45° and knee flexed to 90° -physician sits on the patient's foot of the knee being tested, wraps both hands around behind the tibia -places one thumb on the medial joint line and one on the lateral joint line -tibia is then pulled anteriorly to test the ACL. -If the tibia slides out from under the femur, the test is positive for an ACL tear. -compare with other side -physician then pushes posteriorly on the tibia to check the PCL -test is positive if the tibia excessively moves backward under the femur
Anterior drawer test of ankle
assess the medial and lateral ligaments of the ankle, mainly the anterior talofibular ligament, but also the superficial and deep deltoid ligaments -patient supine -physician grasps the distal tibia/fibula with one hand, and pulls the foot forward with the other hand grasping the posterior aspect of the calcaneus. -The foot should be held in 20° of dorsiflexion the entire time. -If, after comparing both sides, excessive movement of the talus under the tibia/fibula occurs, then a bilateral injury has occurred to the mentioned ligaments. -If there is deviation to one side, then only the ligaments to the opposite side of the foot are damage
Valgus & Varus Stress Tests
assess the stability of the collateral ligaments -patient lying supine or sitting on the table -knee flexed just enough to unlock it from full extension -physician stabilizes the ankle with one hand while the other pushes against the knee, first medially then laterally. -Pushing the knee medial (with a Lateral force ) is the vaLgus stress test. -If there is gapping on the opposite side, then the medial collateral ligament is torn. -To test the lateral collateral ligament, the physician pushes the knee laterally (varus stress test). -positive If there is any gapping of the lateral joint line
Thomas test
assesses the possibility of a flexion contracture of the hip, usually of iliopsoas origin. -patient supine--> physician checks for exaggerated lumbar lordosis, common in hip flexion contractures. -physician flexes one hip so that knee and anterior thigh touches the patient's abdomen -If a flexion contracture is not present, the patient's opposite leg will remain flat on the table. -If present, a contracture of the iliopsoas will cause the opposite leg to lift off of the table.
Patellar Grind Test
assesses the posterior articular surfaces of the patella and the possibility of chondromalacia patellae, commonly seen with patello-femoral syndrome -patient supine with knees fully extended and relaxed. -physician pushes the patella distally, then instructs the patient to contract the quadriceps muscles. -Any roughness of the articular surfaces will grind, and be palpable and painful when the quadriceps contract and move the patella -positive if the patient feels pain with contraction of the patella
Lachman's test
assesses the stability of the ACL and is somewhat more accurate than the Draw tests. -patient supine -physician grasps proximal tibia with one hand and the distal femur with the other hand. -knee flexed to about 30° -tibia pulled forward by the grasping hands -Both sides are compared -test is positive if the tibia excessively moves out from under the femur.

Ober's test
detects a tight tensor fascia lata and iliotibial band -patient lies on the side opposite the iliotibial band being tested -physician stands behind the patient stabilizes the pelvis to keep the patient from rolling -phys flexes the knee on the side being tested to 90°, abducts the hip as far as possible, and slightly extends the hip. -Slight hip extension is necessary to ensure that the iliotibial band passes directly over the greater trochanter -physician slowly allows the thigh to fall to the table. -test is positive if the thigh remains in the abducted position--> indicate a tight iliotibial band.
McMurray's Test
detects tears in the posterior aspect of the menisci -to test the medial meniscus, the patient's knee is fully flexed -physician's fingers palpate the medial knee joint line -tibia is then externally rotated and a valgus stress is placed on the knee -knee is then slowly extended. -If a palpable or audible "click" is noticed, the test is positive for a posterior tear of the medial meniscus. -To test the lateral meniscus, the same procedure is used with internal rotation of the tibia and a varus stress on the knee
ASIS compression test
determine side of SI dys; helpful when the standing or seated flexion tests are equivocal -patient in the supine position -physician comes in contact with the ASIS's and applies a posterior compression to each ASIS while stabilizing the other -There is usually an ease of posterior compression (some authors describe this as a sense of "resiliency"). -If there is a resistance to compression (that side did not have "resiliency") then the test is considered positive on that side. -A positive test indicates dysfunction of the sacrum, innominate or pubic bones

Apley's compression & distraction tests
evaluate the meniscus and ligamentous structures of the knee -patient prone and the knee is flexed to 90° -compression performed with the physician pressing straight down on heel, and internally and externally rotating the tibia in this position. -Pain indicates a meniscal tear. -physician pulls upward (the "distraction" part) on the foot, and internally and externally rotates the tibia. -Pain this time indicates ligamentous injury, usually the medial and/or lateral collateral ligaments
Bounce Home Test
evaluates problems with full knee extension, usually due to meniscal tears or joint effusions. The patient is supine and the physician grasps the heel. The knee is flexed completely. Then, the knee is allowed to drop into extension. Normally, the knee should "bounce home" into full extension to a sharp end-point, without restriction. The test is positive if extension is incomplete or there is a "rubbery" feel to end-point extension

supraspinatus tears, weakness in active abduction is often present alsong with a pos drop arm test atrophy common
treatment of severe scoliosis
surgery often indicated if resp conpromise or if progess quickly despite conservative management
tibiofibular joint
synovial composed of the lateral aspect of the prox tibia and prox fibular head movement occurs with protonation & supination of foot
factors that inc interstitial pressure above 0mmHg
systemic HTN cirrhosis (dec plasma protein synthesis) hypoalbuminemia assoc with starvation toxins such as rattlesnake poisoin
medial longitudinal arch
talus, navicular, cuneiforms, 1st to 3rd metatarsals.
rotator cuff tear
tear at insertion of one of rotator cuff tendons, usually supraspinatus Minor tears of cuff common complete tear can occur resulting in retraction of the affected muscle and sharp shoulder pain
Sensation for C2
temple and occipital area
signs & symp of lateral epicondylitis
tenderness at lat epicondyle or just distal, worsens with activity
pain from rotator cuff tear
tenderness just below tip acromion transient, sharp pain in shoulder followed by steady aceh that may last for days often pt will have pain for months, esp at night
compression fracture findings
tenderness to percussion on SP & confirmed on Xray
pain supraspinatus tendinitis
tenderness, esp at tip of acromion gradual onset & may be preceded by strain pain exacerbated by abduction (esp 60-120= painful arc) chronic tendinits may lead to calcification of tendon
Travell's myofascial trigger points
tenderpoint that can give rise to referred pain a trigger point represents the somatic manifestation of a viscero-somatic, somato-visceral or somato-somatic reflex
lateral epicondylitis
tennis elbow strain of extensor muscles of forearm near lateral epicondyle
diaphragms of body

Kirksville crunch
thoracic HVLA corrective thrust is directed at the vertebrae below the dysfunctional segment thrust is aimed 45° cephalad. neutral lesion is treated the same way as a flexed dysfunction, however SB the patient away from you. A purely flexed or extended lesion (no rotation or sidebending) is treated using roughly the same position, except the physician will use a bilateral fulcrum (thenar eminence under one transverse process and a flexed MCP under the other transverse process). Ribs 2-10 can also be treated using the Kirksville Krunch. The difference is that the physician's thenar eminence is under the posterior rib angle of the "key" rib.
treatment for Lymphatic congestion Chest congestion Fever Infection
thoracic pump- Augment thoracic range of motion and affect intrathoracic pressure gradients, improving lymphatic return contra: osteoporosis
what to treat first for rib dys
thoractic spine
lymphoid tissue not connected to lymphatics
thyroid, esophagus and the coronary and triangular ligaments of the liver bypass lymphoid tissue and drain directly into the thoracic duct
posterior innominate rot etiology
tight hamstrings
ant innominate rot etiology
tight quads
Drop arm test
to detect tear in rotator cuff -abduct the shoulder to 90°, and then to slowly lower the arm. -positive test results if the patient cannot lower the arm smoothly, or if the arm drops to the side from 90°
Motor for L5
toe extensors
sacral base
top part of sacrum In somatic dys, can be recorded as shallow/post or deep/ant
Axis and plane for flex/ext
transverse sagittal
etiology of rotator cuff tear
trauma
Inferior pubic shear etiology
trauma or tight adductors
superior pubic shear etiology
trauma or tight rectus ab muscle
course of L thoracic duct
traverses Sibson's fascia of the thoracic-inlet up to the level of C7 before turning around and emptying drains into the junction of the left internal jugular and subclavian veins
what to treat first for acute somatic dys
treat peripheral areas (allow access to acute area
dec restrictions & inc ROM--> PT, NSAIDs/low dose steroids; if doesnt work--> epidural--> laminectomy with decompression
treatment for spinal stenosis
DTR for C7
triceps reflex
Crossed extensor reflex
uses the crossed extensor reflex to achieve muscle relaxation typically used in extremities that are so severely injured or not accessable that direct manipulation is impossible. (contraction of the right biceps produces relaxation of the left biceps and contraction of the left triceps)
Respiratory assistance
uses the patient's voluntary respiratory motion to restore normal motion. Most inhalation rib dysfunctions are treated in this fashion.
Cuneiforms som dys of transverse arch
usually caused by the second cuneiform gliding directly downward, toward the plantar surface
compartment syndrome
usually from trauma or vigorous overuse--> inc in intracompartmental pressure--> will compromise circulation within that compartment
OA, AA, & C2 dys can cause
vagal somatic dys
Sensation for C1
vertex of skull
axis and plane for rotation
vertical and transverse
Measuring scoliosis
via x-ray with Cobb method
factors that inc CRI
vigorous physical exercise systemic fever after OMT to cranial sacral mechanism
Indications for rib raising
visceral dys dec rib excursion lymph congest fever paraspinal muscle spasm
signs & symp from herniated nucleus pulposus
weakness & dec reflexes associated with affected nerve root sensory deficit over corresponding dermatome pos straight leg raise test
signs & symp of carpal tunnel synd
weakness and atrophy usually appear late on exam, symp reproduced by tinel's, phalen, & prayer tests
winging of scapula
weakness of ant serratus muscle due to long thoracic nerve injury evident if scapula protrudes postly while pt pushing on wall
coxa vara
when angle of head of femur is <120
coxa valga
when angle of head of femur is >135
