In the Harrison spinal model used by CBP, what is the approximate ideal absolute rotation angle (ARA) from C2 to C7?
Answer: About 42 degrees of lordosis
The CBP ideal cervical model has a lordosis of roughly 42 degrees measured with posterior tangents from C2 to C7.
What is the approximate ideal lumbar lordosis (L1-L5 ARA) in the CBP model?
Answer: About 40 degrees
The CBP ideal lumbar model shows roughly 40 degrees of lordosis from L1 to L5.
A patient has thoracic hyperkyphosis. Which CBP intervention fits best?
Answer: Thoracic extension loading such as a thoracic Denneroll or extension traction
Extension loading of the thoracic spine is the mirror image of excessive kyphosis.
What is a key CBP recommendation when starting a new patient on traction?
Answer: Begin with short durations and progress gradually as tolerated
Gradual progression builds tissue tolerance and reduces adverse reactions.
Which type of adjusting is commonly used in CBP to deliver mirror image adjustments?
Answer: Drop-table or instrument adjustments in the mirror image position
CBP often uses drop tables or adjusting instruments with the patient set up in the mirror image posture.
Why are mirror image exercises performed in addition to traction in CBP?
Answer: To retrain neuromuscular control and support the corrected posture
Exercises help muscles and motor control adapt to the new posture, complementing passive traction.
A patient's cervical curve is kyphotic in the mid-cervical region. In CBP, where should the traction fulcrum or orthotic apex typically be placed?
Answer: At the apex of the kyphotic segment
Placing the fulcrum at the kyphotic apex targets the most abnormal segments for extension loading.
