Explanation:
The radial nerve innervates the extensors of the
upper extremity (elbow, triceps, wrist & hand). An absent triceps
(C7) reflex & wrist drop will indicate radial nerve pathology
Explanation:
The patient flexed L5, twisted R, and sidebent R. When the spine is extended, the symmetry worsens and L5 resists the rotation of L.
Explanation:
The patient has a severe L-Spine SD. One of his lumbar discs had also herniated. Acute SD is linked
to acute sharp pain (particularly when palpated). Edematous, erythematous, and swampy are common
descriptions for acute tissue texture alterations. There is an increase in moisture on the surface of the skin,
as well as associated hypertonic muscles. Muscle contraction and guarding will limit the range of motion in
the affected areas.
Explanation:
Flexion and extension are the two types of vertebral motion around a transverse axis. As a result, T12
must be either flexed or stretched. In a transverse plane, vertebral motion is rotation. As a result, T12
needs to be rotated as well. If one understands Fryette's concepts, one must conclude that if a vertebra
is flexed, extended, and rotated, it must also be sidebent to the same side.
Explanation:
Rotation is the motion in the transverse plain. The stated segment on the one below is traditionally defined
as segmental motion. The initial cervical segment (the AA joint - the atlas on the axis) has the most degrees
of freedom in the transverse plane because rotation is its primary motion.
Explanation:
A misalignment of the facet joint is known as facet tropism. It is the most common L-Spine abnormality,
according to Osteopathic principles in practice.
Explanation:
Guyon's canal (pisohamate) is found at the wrist. The pisiform bone is on the medial border, the hamate is
on the lateral border, the flexor retinaculum is on the roof, and the pisohamate ligament is on the floor. The
Guyon's canal houses the ulnar nerve. The hypothenar muscles, adductor pollicis, interossi, and 3rd and 4th
lumbricals would all be affected by nerve entrapment. Abduction and adduction of the fingers are controlled
by the interossi.
Explanation:
Dysmenorrhea symptoms and indicators are present in the patient. Pain is caused by uterine vasoconstriction,
anoxia, and prostaglandin-mediated prolonged contractions. T10 - L2 segments supply sympathetic innervation
to the uterus. Because rib elevation and paraspinal inhibition reduce sympathetic tone, these treatments
successfully increase blood flow and relax the uterus, reducing pain.
Explanation:
Tissue texture changes at the thoraco-lumbar junction have been linked to renal insufficiency. Ropy and
fibrotic are two adjectives that describe chronic tissue texture alterations. T11-L1 Kidneys
Explanation:
The thoracic inlet should be released prior to lymphatic pumping procedures to remove any impedance
entering the thoracic duct and, ultimately, the central circulation.
Explanation:
This Pt has Addison's disease, which is a disease of the adrenal gland & would cause a viscerosomatic
response at T10.
Explanation:
The viscerosomatic response from the heart, lungs, and esophagus is linked to spinal levels.
Explanation:
The correct Dx is flexed, rotated right, and sidebent right. The L thumb is more anterior in the static
evaluation in the neutral position, indicating that the segment is rotated right. The freedoms of motion
are flexion, right rotation, and left sidebending because the asymmetry at the segment was rectified
with flexion.
Explanation:
This patient suffers from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The most common symptom is heartburn,
which is resistant to antacids and famotidine in this scenario. Chocolate, coffee, caffeine, fatty foods, peppermint,
and alcohol all aggravate the problem.
Explanation:
When observing a Pt from the side, this is a description of ideal posture.
Explanation:
The anteror scalene arises from the posterior tubercle of the C3-C6 TPs and attaches to rib 1
Explanation:
There is a group dysfunction that is Sidebent left & Rotated right if T8 - T12 have a convexity to the R.
Remember that group dysfunctions happen in the neutral plane, and they Sidebent and Rotate to opposing
sides in that scenario. T10's left TP will be more caudad than its right TP if it is Sidebent left.
Explanation:
All three planes of C3 would be reversed if direct ME Tx was used (i.e. C3 would be placed in such a way
that the segment is against its restrictive barrier in all 3 planes). The segment must be flexed, sidebent right,
and rotated right in order to conduct conventional ME correctly.
Explanation:
C5 resists right sidebending if it resists lateral translation to the L. It's Sidebent left if it resists R sidebending.
It has to be Rotated left if it is Sidebent left. Type II mechanics are followed by C5.
Explanation:
Years of smoking cause the destruction of elastic fibers (an emphysema type of COPD). Irritation of the
lung parenchyma can cause an overproduction of mucus, obstructing the airway and trapping the air
(chronic bronchitis & asthma type of COPD). These two factors expand the chest cavity and enhance
lung capacity, causing the ribs to be permanently positioned in inhalation.
Explanation:
A patient's low back pain that spreads to both lower extremities could be neurogenic or musculoskeletal.
The most crucial item to rule out of all the neurogenic or musculoskeletal possibilities is Cauda Equina
Syndrome (CES). The CES is caused by the trapping of the SC's terminal nerve roots. This could be the
result of a herniated central disc. Incontinence can occur if the S2-S4 nerve roots are affected. If this happens,
surgical decompression should be performed right away. If decompression is delayed, incontinence may become irreversible.
Explanation:
The common fibular nerve (also known as the common peroneal nerve) runs behind the fibular head.
Foot drop can be caused by a posterior fibular head dysfunction that puts pressure on the common
fibular nerve.
Explanation:
C8, T1, and muscles innervated by the median and ulnar nerves are likely to be affected if the medial cord of
the brachial plexus is injured. Finger abduction is controlled by the hand's interossi muscles. The interossi are
innervated by the ulnar nerve.
Explanation:
There are two articulations in the tibio-fibular joint. The distal articulation is syndesmotic, while the proximal
articulation is synovial. The proximal tibio-fibular articulation will be shifted anteriorly and will resist posterior
glide in an anterior fibular head dysfunction.
Explanation:
Dupuytren's contracture is seen in this patient. Palmar fascia contracture and nodule development define
this syndrome. There appears to be a genetic predisposition to alcoholism, and it is common among
alcoholics.
