OMM PPOM 2 Block 1

Steps of BLT

1. Disengage 2. Exaggerate 3. Balance

Which nerve passes through the Foramen rotundum

CN V2 (Maxillary)

Through which skull opening do CN IX, X, XI, the Internal jugular vein, and the Posterior meningeal artery pass?

Jugular foramen

Which skull opening do CN 7/8 pass through

Internal acoustic meatus

Through which skull opening do CN III, IV, V1, VI, and the Superior ophthalmic vein pass?

Superior orbital fissure

Which nerves, arteries, or veins pass through the Superior orbital fissure?

CN III (Oculomotor nerve), CN IV (Trochlear nerve), CN V1 (Ophthalmic nerve branches: Frontal, Lacrimal, Nasociliary), CN VI (Abducens nerve)

Which nerves, arteries, or veins pass through the Optic canal?

• Nerves: CN II (Optic nerve)

• Arteries: Ophthalmic artery

The patterns in cranial are based on the

Sphenoid

List of non-physiologic strains

Lateral strain, superior vertical strain, inferior vertical strain, sphenobasilar synchondrosis compression

BLT is inherently

Indirect

What is this hold?

The vault hold

What is this hold

Fronto-occipital hold

What is this hold

The Becker Hold

What is this hold

Occipitoatlantal Decompression

What is this

The frontal lift

What is this

Naso-frontal suture release

Number of axis and direction for Sidebending and rotation (right or left)

2 parallel vertical axes and 1 anterior/posterior axis

Number of axis and direction for lateral strain (right or left)

2 parallel vertical axes

Number of axis and direction for superior vertical strain/shear

2 transverse axis

Number of axis and direction for inferior vertical shear/strain

2 transverse axis

Which hold is this

Cranial vault hold

Hands slant. Index fingers

on GW of sphenoid move

opp to direction of pinkies on

occiput. BUT Named for

direction of basisphenoid

(which is the same direction

as the pinkies, opp the

direction of the GW)

Lateral strain

Fingers point down towards

feet (wrists ulnar-

deviate). Named for direction of

basisphenoid

Superior strain/shear

Fingers point up toward

head. (wrists radial-

deviate) Named for direction of

basisphenoid

Inferior vertical shear/strain

What is this hold

Unilateral temporal hold

What’s this hold used for

Compression of the fourth ventricle

Flexion number of axis and direction

2 transverse axes

Extension number of axis and direction

2 transverse axis

Number of axis and direction for torsion

1 anterior/posterior axis

What is this

The parietal lift
