2 types of TMJ patients

1. Traumatic 2. Psychological overlay - clenchers - VERY tough to treat

Atlanto-Odontoid Joint

Biconvex (convex on convex) -Can see meniscoids here.

Bilaminar retrodiscal pad

2 component parts: - superior lamina which is elastic - as disc goes forward, elasticity gives and allowed to go forward. Contracts when closing mouth to pull it back) -Inferior lamina not elastic - tether. If disc goes all the way forward, this is last ditch effort to keep it from dislocating. Rich in blood and neural supply. Sits behind disc = prone to be irritated and inflamed.

Synovial Membrane of TMJ

2 parts (2 joints in one): Superior synovial membrane - lines fibrous capsule superior to articular disc Inferior synovial membrane - Lines capsule inferior to articular disc

Temporomandibular ligament (lateral ligament)

2 parts: Inner oblique - attaches to lateral pole of condyle and posterior disc with postglenoid tubercle acting to prevent POSTERIOR dislocation Outer oblique - attaches to neck of condyle, strengthens LATERALLY

Sternocostal movement

2-7 - small amount of glide to assist in respiration

AA Joint

3 linked joints - Atlanto-Odontoid and 2 AA joints ONLY ROTATES - Trochoid joint (between odontoid, anterior arch of C1 and lateral mass) - odontoid stays in place and osteoligamentous ring turns C1 pivots on C2

Active movement testing of TMJ - Protrusion

3-6mm Jut jaw and see how far inferior go in relation to superior

McKenzie: Derangement 1-7

40:00 - EVEN #s have deformities - correct deformity FIRST 1: Low back (central and symmetrical) 2: LB with kyphosis 3: Unilateral or asymmetrical as far down as into knee 4: Same as 3 but with deformity - Lateral/kyphosis/LS 5: Into calf to foot (generally not bilateral) 6: Same as 6 but with deformity (TOUGHEST) 7: Anterior sway - pregnant women - femoral nerve involvement

??

Differentiating between LBP and SI Joint

A study by Dreyfuss et al states that "patients with confirmed SIJ pain rarely identify concurrent pain at or above L5. -Combine this with Laslett's cluster of 5 tests Dreyfuss P, Michaelsen M, Pauza K, McLarty J, Bog- duk N. The value of medical history and physical examination in diagnosing sacroiliac joint pain. Spine. 1996;21 (22):2594-2 602.

Advantages/Disadvantages of Manual Cx Traction

ADVANTAGES -Greater control over neck -Can directly feel the forces DISADVANTAGES -Labor intensitve -Time consuming

Upslip/Downslip

AKA superior ilial shear Downslip is VERY RARE - someone hung upside down.

Differential Dx for Adherent Nerve Root (ANR) and Entrapment

ANR -Intermittent -Onset >6 weeks -May compromise gait -NB/NW -Extension has NO EFFECT -Reduced ROM into flexion -No change with repeated motions (change over time) -SLOW gains in ROM ENTRAPMENT -Intermittent -Onset >12 weeks -May compromise gait -B with RFIL/S -Can PP with EXTENSION -Repeated flexion ↑ROM (nerve figures out better path) -QUICK gains in ROM

Lateral view of Cx ligaments

AO/AA membrane continuation of ALL Posterior AO membrane continuation of PLL

Pelvic examination

ART -Asymmetry -ROM abnormality -Tissue texture alteration -USE DOMINANT EYE (L for me) -Careful with lines of clothing - can deceive

Sacral Base/Sulcus/Hiatus/ILA

BASE - Find PSIS and drop off medially Sulcus - depth from drop off Hiatus - Indentation where SPs would be ILA - just lateral to hiatus

Palpate posterior aspect TMJ

BONY -Mastroid process -TP of C1 SOFT TISSUE -Trapezius -Suboccipital muscles -Semispinalis cervicis and capitus -Ligamentum nuchae -Levator scapulae

Treating pubic symphysis dysfunction

Beauty is you treat bilaterally (regardless of what type of pubic dysfunction) SHOT GUN TECHNIQUE -Patient in hook lying -Resist abduction (hold at sides of knees) -Resist adduction (put one hand on knee and triceps on other knee) Hold for 7 second contraction 2-3x

Sciatic Nerve

Between greater trochanter and ischial tuberosity.

Palpation: Hyoid, Thyroid, cricoid, articular pillars, posterior triangle

Between mastoid process and Inferior angle = TPs of C1 Hyoid = C3 Thyroid = C4/C5 Cricoid = C6 Articular pillars = stack of facet joints Posterior triangle = Anterior SCM, Posterior trapezius, inferior clavicle

Costochondral joints

Between ribs and costal cartilage -No ligaments

UQ Exam: Reflexes

Biceps: C5-C6 Brachioradialis: C6 Triceps: C7 Jendrassik maneuver - w/ distraction

Greatest degree of flexion/extension in Cx (and related issues)

C5-C6 Highest incidence of Tetraplegia because it's the apex of the lordotic curve -Also highest incidence of DJD and nerve root issues

McKenzie: Dysfunction Syndrome

CAUSE: Mechanical DEFORMATION of soft tissues d/t ADAPTIVE SHORTENING. via poor posture, trauma, derangement. Dysfunction named by direction of limitation (Flexion dysfunction = cannot flex) -Pain before full end range when structures stretched (leads to adaptive shortening) -Can produce SECONDARY LATERAL SHIFTS -Intermittent pain (based on directional movement) -Loss of movement or function

McKenzie: Postural Syndrome

CAUSE: Mechanical deformation of soft tissue d/t postural stresses (bending finger and holding it) -Prolonged loading - *STATIC postures* -*Time dependent* -*Intermittent pain* -Pain reproduced via prolonged position -Relief by some position -Not referred

McKenzie: Derangement Syndrome

CAUSE: Mechanical deformation of soft tissues d/t INTERNAL DERANGEMENT OF DISC - tend to reoccur -Motion segment mechanics altered because of this deformation. -Usually constant pain -Pain can change in intensity and location with repeated movements (often worse with further flexion) -ROM can change with repeated movements or sustained postures -Pain may refer -Commonly 20-55 yo -Males>females

Treatment of Entrapment

CLOSE side of entrapment and OPEN contralateral side. Want to move structure back into place and allow it to go into opening. Lumbar spine push AWAY. ALWAYS start with this

Dysfunction Syndrome: Entrapment

Caused by sequestered nuclear material Occurs later than ANR because fibrocity increases and sequestration takes time

McKenzie: Dysfunction Syndrome - Management Considerations

Change is SLOW therefore: -Compliance is difficult -PT must emphasize small improvements-HEP should have quick, small progressions

Manubrium

Clavicular notch on each side - articulated with sternal end of clavicle -Below notch, costal cartilage of first rib forms a synchondrosis with lateral margin of manubrium -Also articulates with part of second costal cartilage

Clenching vs. Grinding

Clenching = tightening of muscles Grinding - teeth together (Bruxism)

Anatomy of Pelvis (bones/joints)

Closed osteoarticular ring with 3 bony parts and 3 joints: -2 innominate bones -sacrum -2 sacroiliac joints -Pubic symphisis

Mandibular movements: Depression (opening)

Combo of rotation and translaton -Anterior rotation (spin) of condyle on disc (lower joint - beginning) -Translation (gliding) anteriorly and inferiorly (upper joint)

Thoracic facet dysfunction

Common, associated with rib dysfunction -Movement impaired -Decreased joint play at facet and rib -Sx with respiraton, pain in anterior chest wall

Typical ROM in TMJ

DEPRESSION 40-50mm - 11-25mm come from rotation (18-25mm needed for normal mastication) PROTRUSION 6-9mm (need depression to protrude) LATERAL DEVIATION 8mm

McKenzie: Dysfunction Syndrome response to movements

DIRECTIONALITY TO IT FLEX: With adherent sciatic nerve root - deviation toward side of root irritation (shorten nerve) EXTEND: Usually not a significant deviation due to facet apposition in extension SIDE GLIDING: May show limited side gliding but not necessarily lateral shift REPEATED MOVEMENTS: If stretches shortened structures will produce pain BUT won't make patient worse.

Differential Dx for typical Dysfunction vs. ANR Dysfunction

DYSFUNCTION -Pain not referred -No neuro signs -Pain at end of available ROM ANR -Referred along nerve -Can have neuro signs -Pain occurs at predictable point in repeated movements

T4 Syndrome

Decreased mobility of upper T segments (esp. T4) ONSET: Insidious or new activity involving flexion Sxs: Glove parasthesia -hot/cold or swelling hands (vascular issues) -Non-dermatomal patterns in UE (SNS involvement) -Neck, upper T pain, HA in cap of head -+ Neuro tests -Sx in AM and get worse TREATMENT: Mobilize affected segment, posture, movement re-education

Scheuermann's Disease

Degeneration of bone resulting in excessive kyphosis in thoracic spine Occurs during growth spurt (12-16 yo) ASSOCIATED with lumbar lordosis, scoliosis or tight hamstrings

Anatomy of C7 Vertebrae

Different from C3-C6 because of long SP (Prominens) Transitional vertebrae

Shape of disc and temporal articulation

Disc is biconcave Articulation is convex on convex

Pseudo sciatica

Distal compression related to piriformis

Floating rib attachments to Tx

Don't have inferior facet to guide it.

Piriformis

ER - Palpate between greater trochanter and anterior/inferior sacrum (won't feel unless spasms) Inferolateral aspect of sacrum to GT

What movement to avoid in Spondylolisthesis

EXTENSION no good for Spondylolisthesis

R Inferior Shear (Downslip)

EXTREMELY RARE (walking usually corrects it) + R Standing forward flexion test -R ASIS inferior, R PSIS inferior, IT inferior -Medial malleolus longer on R -Sacrotuberous ligament tight R

PPIVM of TYPICAL Cx spine: Rotation in supine

Easier because don't have weight of head

SI lumbar/sacrum evaluation/testing in prone

Evaluate: -Lumbar curve Test: -Spring sacrum - only true accessory movement test -Spring lumbar - if L curve is flat it will be stiffer and less movement

Thoracic active movement: Ribs

Excursion at 3 different points: 1. Under axilla for upper chest 2. Nipple line for mid 3. 10th rib for lower

SI Joint during gait cycle

ILIOSACRAL MOVEMENT: Innominate rotates anteriorly and posteriorly during ambulation. SACRAL MOVEMENT: Axis of rotation originates on side of WBing leg -L on L, return to neutral, then R on R, return to neutral

Orientation of typical thoracic vertebrae inferior/superior articular processes

INFERIOR articular processes project downward and directed anteriorly, medially and slightly inferiorly -slightly concave SUPERIOR articular processes project upward and face posteriorly, slightly lateral and superiorly -slightly convex

L Inferior Pubic Dysfunction

IS dysfunction + L Standing forward flexion test L Inferior pubic tubercle L tender inguinal ligament

Right Outflared Innominate

IS dysfunction + R Standing forward flexion test ASIS lateral on R PSIS medial on R Sacral sulcus medial and shallower on R

R Superior Pubic Dysfunction

IS dysfunction + R Standing forward flexion test R Superior pubic tubercle R tender inguinal ligament

Right Posterior Innominate

IS dysfunction + R Standing forward flexion test Superior R ASIS, Inferior PSIS Shorter medial malleolus on R Sacral sulcus prone - deeper R (rotates away from sacrum)

7. Prone Knee Bending

If pain in anterior thigh before full range = rectus If pain in lumbar spine or radicular pattern - L3 (femoral nerve)

Algorithm for management of cx radiculopathy (36:00)

If progressive neuro sxs - DON'T TREAT If non-op for 2 weeks and no change -> back to doctor. -If no improvement and questioning dx = EMG -Non-op do for 6 weeks and re-assess. -If no improvement at 6 wks - MRI (if didn't get one earlier) If then negative on MRI - think systemic - rheumatologist.

Relationship of combined movements in SI Joint

If sidebend to one direction, ALWAYS rotate in opposite direction

Position and respiration best to mobilize sacral base anteriorly

If you want to move the sacral base anteriorly - do it on exhalation and extension

Test for Spondylolisthesis

In standing - one hand over sacrum and one hand on abdomen. Squeeze hands together PAIN worsens = discal pain Sx relief = Spondylolisthesis

Difference between movement in supine and prone

In supine the innominates can rotate In prone sacrum can move and innominates stable

T1 Vertebrae

Instead of 2 costal facets, only has one. Articulates with facet of 1st rib. Longest TP in Tx Inferior facets face down and forward

Universal pattern for SI joint

L = upshear, superior pub, L on L, sacral flexion, posterior innominate -L upshear/R downshear -Right inferior pubs/ L superior pubs -L on L / L on R -Left sacral flexion -R anterior innominate / L posterior innominate **If not one of these, they will have more pain and dysfunction

LQ Exam: Dermatomes

L1 = inguinal line L2 = Anterior proximal thigh L3 = Anterior medial knee L4 = Medial leg L5 = lateral leg S1 = lateral foot/calcaneus S2 = behind knee S3 = gluteal fold

Ankylosing spondylitis

LB and Tx pain -Not relieved with lying in supine -Worse with rest, better with activity -AM stuffness -Hx of collagen disease in family ONSET: <40 yo

Sacral flexion/Extension

No true axis Unilateral motions that are not normal SF = sliding motion of 1 side on the other (slip sacrum on iliac). Posterior and inferior movement of ILA (inferolateral angle)

Nutation/Counternutation

Nutation = pelvic brim decreased and pelvic outlet increased

Active movement testing of TMJ - opening

OPENING - palpate with pinkie in ear facing forward - feel condyle move away (35-50mm) Measure - align ruler with inferior part of maxillary teeth and superior part of mandibular teeth (quick check - 3 knuckles between opening - of own patient)

Thoracic PAIVM Testing: Spring Test

Oblique angle of forearm but force is PA with other arm Arm gets more vertical as you go down Compresses below and gaps above (??)

Order of Assessment for SI joint

Observation Subjective 1. Standing - ASIS/PSIS, GT -Mobility testing 2. Supine - Pubic symphisis - palpate PS, Inguinal, IC?, 3. Prone - SI joint - Sacral base, PSIS, ILA, apex, IT, Sacrotuberous lig, gluteal tone 4. Supine - Ilium - iliac crests, LLD?

Cx Nerve roots and sites of compression

Occupies about 25% of foramen and surrounded by dural sleeve COMPRESSION 1. Osteophytes at uncovertebral joints 2. Swelling of facet capsule 3. Venous congestion in dural sleeve (inflammation) 4. Nerve root ischemia

3. Gaenslen's test

Patient with one leg off table (max hip extension) and other in full hip flexion Want pelvic rotation - so symptomatic side is down + = pain - indicates SI, pubic, hip, L4 nerve, femoral nerve

Pseudo trochanteric bursitis

Piriformis spasm (attached to GT)

Cervical facet joints

Posterior arch has superior and inferior articular facet Filled with meniscoid - fatty and highly innervated -As you age, meniscoid atrophies and causes decreased stability.

McKenzie: Assessment - Lateral Shift

Postural shift of upper torso along lower torso (named by direction of shoulders) MUST CORRECT LATERAL SHIFT BEFORE STRAIGHT PLANE MOVEMENTS (always follow lateral shift with extension/flexion - whichever you're treating)

Cx Special Tests: Valsalva

Probably get this info in subjective - Pain with coughing, sneezing or bearing down? Indicates: 1. Neoplasm 2. Herniated disc

Best exercise to start with for acute and chronic cervical conditions

Proprioceptive and therapeutic exercises

Maximal movement of extension for upper cervical area

Protrusion

Movement of disc in protrusion and retrusion

Protrusion - drop down and forward Retrusion - back and up

To achieve full end range of LCC flexion

Protrusion and flexion

Temporomandibular Capsule

Provides proprioception -Capsular ligament -Articular capsule is thing and loose anteriorly, medially and posteriorly (subluxes/dislocates anteriorly) -Strong laterally Fibrous capsule attachments: -Margin of articular area of temporal bone -Neck of mandible

Iliopsoas

Proximal attachment to TPs of T12-L5 Distal attachment to lesser trochanter

Uncovertebral Joints

Pseudo-synovial jt -Uncinate processes have cartilage lined vertebral surfaces facing medially and superiorly -Capsule continuous with annulus fibrosis of disc -Limits lateral flexion (bony block) AGING - as IV space narrow becomes WBing joint -Matures at ages 10-20

Alar Ligament Stress Test (pt 1)

Pt. sitting in neutral -Stabilize C2 (SP and vertebral arch of axis with thumb and index finger. -Passively rotate to each side SHOULD BE 20-30° rotation + = reproduction of sxs

Alar Ligament Stress Test (pt 2)

Pt. sitting in neutral -Stabilize C2 (SP and vertebral arch of axis with thumb and index finger. -Passively sidebend R/L SHOULD BE little movement (little SB C0-C1, NONE in C1-C2) -Repeat test in flexion/extension (follow with SBing) CAN DO EACH IN SUPINE (tougher)

Rib torsion w/ Tx spine

Right rotation = posterior aspect of right rib turns externally (anterior margin appears flattened) -posterior aspect of left ribs turn internally (anterior margin appears accentuated)

PAIVM Movement Testing C2-C7: Transverse pressure on SP

Push SP laterally Create rotation - same as in lumbar spine Pushing R = L rotation = R facet opening (Same as unilateral pressure on articular pillars)

Treating R Superior Shear (unilateral sacral extension)

Push down on R side of sacrum (near sacral base - use hypothenar to get into it) Palpate ILA on R side

Treating R Inferior Shear (unilateral sacral flexion)

Push up on R ILA Palpate sacral base on R side

Biomechanics of sidebending in cx spine

R SB Sliding motion, not opening -Right facet closes, left opens -Coupled with R rotation <C2 20-45°

Stretching alternative: Scalene (PICS)

R SCALENES Right hand over medial end of clavicle and first rib Extend, SB and rotate away

R on R / R on L

R on R - Right ROTATION around right oblique axis = anterior rotation around ROA -> Anterior torsion = normal movement R on R means L sacral base moving forward (L ILA moves posterior) L on R is NOT normal movement = L rotation of R axis causing (R sacral base moves back and L ILA moves forward) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs9QUIeHqko

Why is a R on R Anterior torsion positive for L Seated flexion test?

R on R is around R axis, so it's the L base that is moving as R is on the axis.

R Superior Shear (Upslip)

RARE Won't see it in standing - compensate with trunk + R Standing forward flexion test -R ASIS superior, R PSIS superior, IT superior -Medial malleolus shorter on R -Sacrotuberous ligament lax R

Mobility Testing of TMJ: Medial glide of mandible

RARELY DO SIDELYING Thumbs on lateral aspect of mandibular condyle (outside mouth) Push in

Arthrokinematics: Mandibular patterns (Rest position, occlusal position, hinge position)

REST - Tongue on palate behind maxillary teeth OCCLUSAL (bite) - Teeth closed and together HINGE - Slightly open (more than resting) - space in between is FREEWAY space - allows tongue to be in right spot

Resting Position, Zero Position, Closed-Packed, Capsular pattern

RESTING - Teeth slightly apart ZERO - Mouth closed CLOSED - many different theories CAPSULAR - Deviation to affected side, loss of functional opening

Jaw Jerk Reflex

Relaxed jaw -Index and middle finger on chin and tap RESPONSE: Closure ABNORMAL: UMNL

Sympathetic chain ganglia tx (31:40)

Rib in very close proximity to sympathetic system

Cx Special Tests: Lhermitte's Sign

Same as slump test but more awkward!

Dominick's Traction for cx (PICS)

Seated Stabilize forehead Other hand at lower cx spine and slide up until occiput HOLD for 3-4 seconds = approx. 25 lbs pressure EASE off Releases soft tissue GREAT for HAs

Pubic Symphisis (type of joint, ligaments)

Secondary cartilaginous joint - amphiarthrosis (little movement) Interosseus ligament - fibrocartilaginous disc LIGS: Anterior/Posterior and Superior/Inferior

Atypical ribs: Rib2 11-12

Short -Single facet on head -No neck or tubercle -Articulate only with bodies of 11/12 tx vertebra and not TPs

X-Ray of Atlanto-Odontoid/AA Joint

Should see no opening between joints - kept together by transverse ligament -Look for alar ligament and odontoid fx.

Atypical ribs: Rib 10

Single articular facet on head articulating with 10th tx vertebra

Observing patient with SI joint issue

Sitting posture - often asymmetrical - will have legs crossed. Sit to stand - challenging. Requires rotation of hemipelvis Gait - HS challenging because force goes up to SI.

Sciatica (causes, treatment)*

Specific type of Radiculopathy where pain is caused by impingement/irritation of one of the three lowest lumbar nerve roots (L4, L5 & S1) Treatment is often nonsurgical unless concurrent cauda equina symptoms present or not responding to conservative therapy *CAUSES* -Disc herniation -Annular tear

Sphenomandibular ligament

Spine of sphenoid to lingula in mandible -Allows mandible to hinge open -Responsible for pain after prolonged opening (takes over after Temporomandibular ligament)

Architectural dysfunctions

Spondylitis - inflammation of vertebral body Spondylosis - catch all fpr degenerative conditions Spondylolysis - stress fracture in the pars interarticularis Spondylolisthesis - forward displacement of vertebra

Treatment of cervicogenic HA

Stabilize head and place radius under occiput and rotate arm.

Stretching alternative to forceful neck stretching

Stretch comes from hand

Stylomandibular ligament

Styloid process to angle of mandible (between masseter and pterygoid) -Keeps joint together -Pulls disc back for closing -Stop gap from extreme extension (opening) - tight at end range

Iliolumbar Ligament

Superior band: L4 TP -> IC Inferior band: L5 TP -> IC Present only in adults (children: fibers from QL) Palpate through erector spinae

Swallowing and tongue position

Swallow with tongue in normal position

Costotransverse joints

Synovial joints -Located between tubercle of ribs and reciprocal facets on TPs of vertebrae of same #

ATYPICAL THORACIC VERTEBRAE (20:40)

T1 - costal facet on body and little vestigial demi facet for rib 2. TRANSITIONAL VERTEBRAE 1. Superior costal facet - big on body 9-12 and migrates down. - ANTERIOR 2. Inferior facet gets smaller and by 10 - no longer has one - ANTERIOR 3. Inferior articular facets at 12 - looks to side to accept L1s facet - MIDDLE 4. SPs become more horizontal and less overlapping - POSTERIOR

Thoracic Rules of 3

T1-T3 = TPs at same level as SP T4-6 = TPs 1/2 level above SP T7-9 = TPs 1 level above SP T10 = TPs whole level above SP T11 = TPs half level above SP T12 = TPs at same level as SP

Biomechanics of cx flexion

Top vertebral body tilts and slides anteriorly -Nucleus moves posteriorly -Stretches posterior annulus -Limited by PLL and Nuchae, lig flavum -Facets barely engaged -Unstable position 80-90° (limited by sternum)

Biomechanics of cx spine extension

Top vertebral body tilts and slides posteriorly -IV space compresses -Ant fibers of annulus widen -Limited by ALL and posterior arches -Joint surfaces maximally congruent = CLOSED-PACKED POSITION 70° (15 at AO joint)

What is traction reaction?

Traction reaction - happens in middle age males with thick necks with limited ROM and hx of cardiac arrhythmia Sxs: Nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation Take off traction and can get tingling in hands and fingers, arrythmia tinnitus, blurring of vision WHY? - Cardiac nerves are irritated - stimulating SNS What to do: Use manual traction to see how they react OR monitor with mechanical traction

T12

Transition -Superior articular facet very thoracic -Inferior looks lumbar -Body become more WBing -TPs become shorter

McKenzie treats what type of issues?

Treats MECHANICAL issues If neurological or systemic - other type of treatment

Innervation of joint

Trigeminal nerve

T9

Typical EXCEPT - has no direct articulation with costovertebral joints of 10th ribs (means demifacets on body are absent)

What to do before specific neck exam?

UQ exam - look over this...

Hyoid muscles

Underneath chin Attach to hyoid bone Balancing muscles for muscles above

Cx Resisted movement testing

Use 2 fingers "Don't let me move you" Looking for spasm/asymmetry 1. Flexion 2. Extension 3. Lateral flexion 4. Rotation

PAIVM Movement Testing C2-C7: Posterior-Anterior (supine)

Use index or middle. Harder to do cephalic/caudal (nice because you can watch patient)

What happens to alignment when a R on R anterior torsion does prone prop?

Usually - R sacral base moves posteriorly With prone prop, sacral base drops forward on R side thus alignment should be better.

History: Usual cause of SI joint pain

Usually unexpected heel strike or MVA. Force directed superiorly

Cx exam: Vertebral artery test

VBI - vertebral basilar insufficiency = reduction of blood flow through vertebrobasilar arterial system. Supplies posterior brain FULL TEST: 1. Sitting - AROM rotation (hold 10 sec) 2. Sitting - AROM - look over shoulder (hold 10 sec) 3. Supine - PROM (2 hand hold - forehead and occiput) - extend, sidebend and rotate and hold 15-30 sec. -Back to neutral -Other side 15-30 sec POSITIVE: blurring vision, vertigo, nystagmus, dizziness, HA, pain, tinnitus If positive = NO CX MANIPULATION!
