OPP Cranial Dysfunct
WVSOM -- OPP1 -- Cranial Vault dysfunction
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What does the neurocrainum consist of? | crainal vault and cranial base |
What is the cranial vault? | portiion of the skull that overlies the brain |
What is the cranial base? | portion which underlies the brain |
What are the unpaired bones of the skull? | sphenoid, occiput, ethmoid, mandible and vomer |
How do unpaired bones move? | like the gears ofa clock driven by SBS movement |
What is the general movement of unpaired bones? | flexion and extension |
What are the movements of the paired bones? | external and internal rotation |
What does external rotation correspond with? | SBS flexion |
What does internal rotation correspond with? | SBS extension |
What are the paired bones? | frontal, parietals, temporal, nasal bones, maxillae, zygomatic bones, inferior conchae, lacrimal bones and palatine bones |
What does the cranial vault consist of? | frontal, greater wings of sphenoid, squamous potions of temporal bones, two parietal bones and interparietal occiput |
What are the sutures of the cranial vault? | lambdoidal, occiptiomastoid, squamous, sphenosquamous, sphenofrontal and sphenoparietal |
Which suture can you easily make people sick with? | occiptomastoid suture |
How do the four bones of the skull overlap? | in alphabetical order form the inside to the outside of the skull |
What are vault bones formed from? | membrane |
What are basilar bones formed from? | cartilage |
When is there no articular surfaces of sutures? | before third year of life |
What are the 3 components of motion in the vault bones? | rotation, side bending and separation |
What is rotation in reference to? | individual axes |
What is side bending in reference to? | SBS |
What 5 bones does the parietal bone articulate with? | contralateral parietal, frontal, occiput, sphenoid and temporal |
How does rotation of the parietal bone move? | it follows the overlapping of the temporal bone |
What is external rotation of the parietal bone? | external rotation rotates about the axis to carry the sphenoid angle anterolaterally. The mastoid angle moves more laterally and anteriorly |
How do somatic dysfunctions of the parietal bones include external and internal rotation? | headaches, idiopathic epilepsy, local pain and children show impulsive aggressiveness |
How do you treat parietal restricted movement? | parietal lift |
What 12 bones does the frontal bone articulate with? | parietals (2), sphenoid, ethmoid, lacrimals (2), maxillae (2), nasals (3), and zygomatic bones (2) |
How is the frontal bone able to act as a paired bone? | metopic suture |
How many axis does the frontal bone have? | 2 |
How is the frontal bone rotated from external rotation? | frontal bones are turned by the sphenoid in such a way that the zygomatic angles move forward and slightly downward |
How do the posterial borders of the frontal bone move in external rotation? | laterally to widen the ethmoid notch posteriorly |
How do dysfunctions of the frontal bone present with? | frontal headaches, frontal sinus problems, eye disturbances, nasal pathology and antisocial tendancies |
How do you treat restricted frontal movement? | frontal lift |
What does each temporal bone articulate with? | occiput, parietal, sphenoid, zygomatic bone and mandible |
How does external rotation of the temporal bone present? | rotation of the squamous portions diverge increasing the lateral diameter of the skull while the mastoid portions converge |
How do temporal bone dysfunction present? | hearing problems, Eustachian tube dysfunction, dizziness, tinnitus, bell’s palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, otitis media, jaw popping/TMJ syndrome |
How is restricted temporal mobility treated? | temporal decompression |
How are paired bones rotated? | internally and externally |
What is V-spread technique? | treatment for tenderness or vcranial bone restriction |
How do unpaired/midnline bones move? | flex/extend |
In cranial motion, the vault ___________ the cranial base. | follows |
How is dysfunction of the cranial vault caused? | prenatal, perinatal or incidental trauma and/or underlying strain patterns. |
