Cards

Term
occipital protuberance
Definition
large projection located on posterior and inferior portions of skull: provides atachment for the nuchal ligament and other muscles of neck
Term
mandable
Definition
lower jaw
Term
zygomatic bone
Definition
cheek area: bony landmark
Term
temporal bone: bony landmark
Definition
lateral side of head
Term
paritetal bone
Definition
top part of skull
Term
occipital bone
Definition
base of skull posterior portion
Term
mastoid process
Definition
round prominence located on lateral side of skull behaind ear: attachment for SCM and other muscles
Term
funtions of vertebral column
Definition
support,stability, shock absorption, dispersion of weight, attachment site
Term
spinous process
Definition
posterior projections along midline of vertebrae; provides attachment for muscles
Term
transverse process
Definition
lateral projections; provide attachments for muscles
Term
flexion and extension
Definition
occurs in the sagitial plane around a frontal axis
Term
lateral bending
Definition
occurs in the frontal plane around a sagitial axis
Term
rotation
Definition
occurs in the transverse plane around a vertial axis
Term
nuchal ligament
Definition

loacted superfically between c7 and bacse of skull and occipital protuberance;

prevents extreme neck flexion;

provides stability;

**has origin for muscle of shoulder girdle and shoulder joint

Term
masseter
Definition
muscle that closes lower jaw
Term
temporalis
Definition
muscle that closes the lower jaw
Term
sternolcleidomastoid
Definition
muscle for cervial flexion, rotation and lateral flexion
Term
torticolis
Definition
condition that is characterized by shortening and spasms of the SCM
Term
semispinalis capitis
Definition
extends and rotates the head
Term
semispinalis cervicis
Definition
extends and rotates the head
Term
splenis capitis
Definition
if both sides are contracted it extends the head,  if only one is contracted it rotates the head to the same side
Term
splenius cervicis
Definition
extends the cervical vertebrae
Term
longissimus capitis
Definition
extends and rotates the head
Term
scalenes
Definition
assist in neck flexion and lateral bending; cervical flexion
Term
LOWER BACK
Definition
Term
movement of lower back
Definition

most mobility in the trunk is in the cervical and lumbar areas;

minimal motion in the thoracic area

Term
flexion in back
Definition
movement of the torso towards the inferior skeleton
Term
extension in back
Definition
posterior movement of the spine
Term
lateral flexion & bending
Definition
lateral movement of the thorax toward the pelvis
Term
reduction
Definition
returning from lateral flexion or bending
Term
rotation
Definition
rotary movement of the spine in horizontal plane
Term
lower back stability is caused by
Definition
ligament(tight), discs, muscles, tendons; we need for pain free living
Term
intervertebral discs
Definition
located between vertebrae, increase flexibilty, act as shock absorbers by transmitting forces throughout spine;composed of fibrous and gel-like materials
Term
annulus fibrosus
Definition
outer portion of the disc, composed of fibrocartilage
Term
nucleus pulposus
Definition
soft gel-like substance, mainly composed of water
Term
anterior longitudinal ligament
Definition

attaches to the vertebral bodies and disks and inserts to the sacrum;

protects against excessive hyperextension of the spine

Term
posterior longitudinal ligaments
Definition
attaches along the inside of the vertebral foramen
Term
erector spinae
Definition

intermediate layer of lower back spine;

3( illiocostalis, longisimus, spinalis);

unilateral contraction-lateral bending

bilateral contraction- extension of the spine

Term

transversospinalis muscle

 

Definition

unilateral conraction; trunk rotation

bilateral contraction; extension of the spine

3( interspinales,multifidus, rotatores)

small, but strong

Term
quadratus lumborum
Definition

deep muscle on lateral side of trunk; runs verticlly from illiac crest

actions: lateral flexion of the trunk

Term
always compare...
Definition
...affected vs non-affected UE
Term
ask the patient if...
Definition
they have had any previous injuries
Term
observe and record...
Definition
if active and passive ROM, look proximal and distal one joint from injury
Term
goniometer
Definition
used to measure active ROM;start at 0, careful reading
Term
TAROM=
Definition

MP+PIP+DIP;

neg # is lacking, pos means hyper extension

i.e. -30/80=50

i.e +30/80=110;

extension is written 1st
