Relief or Restoration phase (adjust the patient 3-4 xames per week for 2-3 weeks to increase rom) What happens in the second phase of care ? Structural Rehabilitation- 3x wk, for 12 weeks - it takes a lot to change this! What are some methods that the second phase of care is achieved. a) mirror image postural exercises - muscle strength for endurance against gravity. b) Mirror image adjustment- effect the mechanoreceptors (a lot of input!) a. You have a patient stretched in mirror image and then stimulate areas of high mechanoreception.--> remapping What do you progress to with mirror image exercise after you have done 5-10 sets of 20 reps isometrically? add resistance starting with 1-3 sets of 10 reps.

If RRA C5-c6 is -8 degrees at neurtral and your patients posture is -TzH. will the RRA increase away from zero, do nothing or decrease towards zero. • C5-C6 means lower cervical • -TzH + = posterior translation of the head→ flexion upper cervical, extention lower cervical • - means extension → more negative What is the relationship between posture and structure? Posture is the outward manisfestation of structure What should you additionally try to detect when visualizing a high shoulder in a patient? A high shoulder will often have an accompanying compensatory lateral lateral flexion of the head What should you have a patient do prior to posture analysis? Remove their shoes, take some steps before coming to rest, close their eyes, and have them nod up and down a few times. What should you look for globally in terms of posture analysis? Relationship of the head over the thoracic spine (head to rib cage) and the thoracic spine to the pelvis (compare scapula to PSIS). What anatomical landmarks should you check for alignment from the front of a patient? 1. midstance 2. pubic symphysis 3. jugular or episternal notch 4. philtrum (concavity above middle of upper lip) 5. glabella (between eyes) What anatomical landmarks should you check for alignment in a lateral visualization of a patient? 1. lateral malleolus 2. greater trochanter 3. AC joint 4. EAM/tragus Describe the curves of a spine geometrically Cervical lordosis is based off a circle Thoracic kyphosis is elliptical with more curvature at the top Lumbar lordosis is ellpitical with more curvature at the bottom What are the axes of the right hand rule with regards to translation? C7 is X, index is Z, thumb pointed up is Y Positive translation is in the direction of fingers, ie +X to the left, +Z forward in the sagittal plane, +Y up What is the cause of the majority of lumbar related issues in CBP? thoracic displacement What are the 6 types of structural spinal displacements? 1. segmental rotations and translations (within normal joint ROM) 2. postural rotations and translations with associated spinal coupling/ displacement patterns 3. sagittal plane buckling (S curves, kyphosis) - column under pressure/trauma can results in a change of curvature, 1/3 anterior, 2/3 posterior 4. Euler buckling in the AP view - usually caused by impact injury, resembles scoliosis 5. true scoliosis - subtype of Euler buckling 6. segmental displacement/instability - typically impossible to find outside of cases involving trauma (eg. retro, spondy) (SP SETS) What are the 4 types of nerve interference emphasized in CBP? "D.C.M.E." <- thats what she said lol 1. direct compression of the nerve (rare, <5%) - nerve root compression or spinal cord stenosis 2. CNS deformation from abnormal posture/ spinal alignment 3. deformation of mechanoreceptors from abnormal posture/ spinal alignments 4. electrical 2 and 3 are the most commonly observed types of interference What is the Alf Breg model of flexion/extension with regards to nerve interference (how does posture affect the CNS)? The cord is impaired and stress during flexion, and is unencumbered during extension. Mechanical tension upon the spine=bad, results in: 1. increase in pressure 2. altered ATP production in the mitochondria 3. nerve transmission impairment "PAN" pressure, ATP, nerve How does poor posture affect mental acuity? 90% of the brain output is dedicated to posture (position of physical body in response to gravitational field) This only allows 10% for all other physiologic processes. Poor posture thereby affects thinking, healing, and metabolism. Every spinal position has ___ loads. What are they? Each position has 2 loads, a compression (slack) and tension load What are the 4 goals of CBP care? "(Ap-L) (Sp-a) (Funky) (Health)" 1. normal AP and lateral posture - center of mass of head, rib cage, pelvis vertically aligned in AP and lateral views 2. normal spine alignment - AP view: vertical alignment, lateral view: Harrison model, or average spinal model 3. normal function (eg. ROM, muscle strength) 4. health and system improvements - quality of life, based on standards of neck disability index, oswestry low back index, SF36 or health status questionaire What are the 2 general categories of CBP care? "R&R & R" 1. relief or restoration of functional ROM 3-4x/week for 2-4 weeks until pain remisses or improves and/or until ROM improves (8- 16 visits) Patient comes back in if pain returns, ROM decreases. Treatment - segmental and global adjusting procedures, stretching techniques, myological techniques, ice, heat - acute to subacute phases 2. CBP structural rehabilitation - 3x/week for 12 weeks or 4x/week for 9 weeks. Positive and radiographic alignment, wait to x-ray to see an actual change in structure. Patient placed on maintenance or supportive care. *On average you see a 50% change primary treatment methods a. mirror image postural exercises - opposite of current posture - ligaments will cause changes b. mirror image adjustements - affect mechanoreceptors c. mirror image traction - restore ligamentous shape (requires 10-15 minutes to create shape change) d. nerve stretching PNF stretching in mirror image and ergonomic modifications -most posture changes take 5-10 years to cause pain, often result from trauma, ergonomics, aging What are the two most commonly used traditional chiropractic methods? 1. SMT or segmental adjusting (improves ROM and relief) 2. soft tissue mobilization What does the CBP acronym EAT stand for? Exercise - warms up tissue, easier to adjust Adjust - not focused on adjusting segment ---> focused on mechanoreceptors Traction What is the piezoelectric effect? Laying down of bone where force is applied What are the typical motions observed within the spine? The thoracic spine supports 60-75% of the body weight and affects lumbar motion. Head translation affects the cervical spine, with the upper curve moving contralaterally How can you address the relationship of one vertebral segment to another? The RRA is taken from George's line. Using a lateral x-ray, draw a line through the posterior superior and posterior inferior borders of two adjacent vertebrae. The intersection between the RRAs will be George's (posterior tangent) line. The ARA can be determined by drawing a posterior tangent line between the highest and lowest segments in a curve. What are CBP gravitational lines and how should they be drawn on an x-ray? Gravitational lines are always taken off the posterior inferior corner of the lower segment. Cervicals- posterior superior C1 lateral mass is compared to the posterior inferior body of T1. Thoracics - T1 or T3 body centroid aligned with T12 or T10 body centroid. Posterior inferior body of T12 aligned with the posterior inferior corner of the body of S1. Lumbars - posterior inferior points of T12-S1. Gravitational line is drawn up (superior) to posterior inferior corner of T12. Indicates anterior or posterior translation. Posterior inferior S1 to posterior inferior T12. How do you take a sacral base angle? Compare anterior and posterior superior points of the sacrum, draw a straight horizontal intersecting line in comparison. Sacral base angle is typically +40 degrees flexion, while lumbar will have -40 degrees extension. Sacral base and lumbar curves should ideally be mirror images of each other. How do you draw an APL (atlas plane line)? Normal atlas plane line should have -29 degrees of extension. = WNL Will have 4 points: 1. center of anterior tubercle 2. dot in center of posterior tubercle 3. center of lateral mass 4. center of the other lateral mass Measure compared to horizontal line. Often also compared to HPL (hard palate line). What should you have a patient do prior to posture analysis? Remove their shoes, take some steps before coming to rest, close their eyes, and have them nod up and down a few times. "4 S's"- shoes, steps, shut eyes, shake head up and down What should you look for globally in terms of posture analysis? Relationship of the head over the thoracic spine (head to rib cage) and the thoracic spine to the pelvis (compare scapula to PSIS), and pelvis over feet. Read from the bottom up F-->P, P-->T, T-->H What anatomical landmarks should you check for alignment from the front of a patient? Posture is read from the bottom up 1. midstance 2. pubic symphysis 3. jugular or episternal notch 4. philtrum (concavity above middle of upper lip) 5. glabella (between eyes) What anatomical landmarks should you check for alignment in a lateral visualization of a patient? Posture is read from the bottom up 1. lateral malleolus 2. greater trochanter 3. AC joint 4. EAM/tragus How do you find an RRA or ARA? RRA - Drawing tangent lines between individual segments and taking the angle between them. ARA- Draw a tangent line from the top of curve to the bottom of the curve. The sum of the RRAs will ALWAYS equal the ARA. In each portion of the spine, which segments should be taken into account when measuring the ARA and why? Cervical C2-C7 Thoracic T3-T10 Lumbar L1-5 C1 can be hard to differentiate in lateral x-rays. T1 sits above T12, T2 above T11. These vertebrae are removed from consideration if T1 and T2 cannot be made out clearly in a lateral film. For CBP purposes, when do the expected ARA values for the different regions of the spine apply? The body is in a neutral position. What are the standard ARA ranges for the spine? How do you place a patient in order to correct for a rotation of the pelvis around the Y axis (+/- RyP)? Turn the patient's feet to the side of the posterior hip (prone) What should the patient placement be to correct for a lateral translation of the pelvis (+/- TxP)? Patient on side opposite translation, with legs elevated How do you correct for an anteriorly flexed sacrum? Patient should be supine, block should be placed under apex of sacrum, thrust should be made into ASIS. What movements accompany anterior translation of the thorax (+TzT)? SBA = Flex/+Rx LL = Flex/+Rx UL =Extend/-Rx T = Extend/-Rx Overall T = hypokyphosis Overall L = hyperlordosis Levin dropped the screen after putting this up on the whiteboard, covered up all but the first letters. Remember my F'in Ex was a SLUT, flip everything for posterior translation. How will the RRA of L4-5 (neutral is -19 degrees) change in response to anterior thorax translation (+TzT)? Lower lumbars in +TzT will flex (+RxP), so the RRA should move closer to 0. [moving towards HYPERlordosis]-ac How will the RRA of L1-L2 (neutral is -5 degrees) change in response to anterior thorax translation (+TzT)? Upper lumbars in +TzT will extend (-RxP) so the RRA will decrease (move further away from 0, be more negative). [causing HYPERlordosis]-ac Pretty sure flexion always means hypolordosis/hyperkyphosis. - kc What movements accompany posterior translation of the thorax (-TzT)? SBA = Extend/-Rx LL = Extend/-Rx UL = Flex/+Rx T = Flex/+Rx Overall T = hyperkyphosis Overall L = hypolordosis How will the RRA of T11-12 (neutral is 3 degrees) change in response to posterior thorax translation (-TzT)? Thoracic vertebra in -TzT will flex (+RxT), so the RRA should increase (move farther away from 0). [causing HYPERkyphosis]-ac What is the goal of CBP care? Neutral posture with ideal curvature of the spine. How often should patients be scheduled for visits and what is the expected improvement? Patients should be scheduled as often as possible, preferably with no more than a 48 hour window between visits. 50% average improvement within 36 visits, 90% after 72 visits. When should you initiate an exercise routine with your patient? Never exercise in the first 1-2 weeks with a true acute injury. Chronic cases can begin exercises within 2-4 weeks of initial visit. How should you start a patient exercise routine? Start with isometric or pain free ROM, have them perform 1 set of 10 repetitions, with each position held for 3 seconds. Work up to 5-10 sets of 20 repetitions (100-200 reps), each held for 5-10 seconds. Progress to exercises with resistance (theraband), start with 1-3 sets of 10 repetitions depending on patient's tolerance. How often should patients be exercising? 3x a week in order to create an effective change. As patients will probably not be willing to commit to that level, request 5-7 days of exercise as a doctor so they feel more inclined to do 3. What is the goal of an exercise program, and how often should you monitor patient progress? The goal is to improve muscle strength in areas which may be leading to improper posture, retrain the cerebellum to hold new posture. Patients will more than likely not follow up on exercise routine, should be monitored at least once a month as part of a re-exam. What should you take into account when correcting for rotations with exercise? Rotations CANNOT be done in free motion.
