sublux midterm-postural analysis and vertebral subluxation complex

postural analysis

what is a systematic way to describe/document a patient's structural presentation

patients

whos perspective do you document information from

global (list)

what describes a patient's overall tendency to favor the right or left side

regional (tilt/lean)

what describes a patient's regional tendency to break from vertical

global list, head and thoracic tilt

what is seen in the anterior view of a postural analysis

global, head carriage, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis

what is seen ina lateral view of a postural analysis

head rotation, head translation, lateral curve, pelvic tilt and pelvic rotaiton

what is seen in a posterior view of postural analysis

ac

what joints are compared on the thoracic tilt

eam and ac

what are the points compared on a head carriage

eop and vp

what points are compared on head translation

females

who is more likely to need intervention with scoliosis

medial malleolus

what boney feature referenced in a prone leg check

spinal dysfunction

the vsc is a model of what

kinesiopathology

what part of the vertebral subluxation complex deals with position and motion

neuropathology

what part of the vertebral subluxation complex deals with reflexes, altered sensation and pain

myopathology

what part of the vertebral subluxation complex deals with tone weakness and atrophy

histopathology

what part of the vertebral subluxation complex deals with edema and inflammation

pathoanatomy

what is the nautra of disease: causes, processes, development and consequences

pathophysiology

what is the disruption of normal physiology

static palpation and posture

how is kinesiopathology observed

neuropathology (cornerstone)

what is the corner stone of chiropractic theorys

instrumentation

how is neuropathology observed

palpation and posture

how is myopathology observed

redness, swelling, heat and pain

what are the inflammatory responses

visualization and palpation

how is histopathology observed

pain or tenderness

what does the P stand for

asymmetry or misalignment

what does the A stand for

Range of motion abnormality

what does the R stand for

Tissue tone changes

what does the T stand for

2/4

how many of the part system components must you have

A or R

what are the two options that you must have one of in the part system

regional

what type of asymmetry is found using posture/scoliosis screening

local

what type of asymmetry is found using static palpation

spasms, inflammation, hypertonicity, hypotonicity, heat measuring instruments and leg length discrepancy

what are examples of tissue tone measurements

A and R (VSC)
