What are the Non-Linear Testing Priorities - ANSWER 1. Lat. Occ, Lat. Sacrum,
Coccyx PI/AS with Sphenoid
2. Cervical Syndrome Test: C1 or C5(C4/C6) Post. Rot. with or without Laterality.
Bilateral Cervical Syndrome Test: (All are PI) - Occ, Coccyx, C5, C1, T6, or C1
Lateral.
Wrong-Un Test. C1 Lateral
Cervical Syndrome Test: Positive Indicates - ANSWER Posterior rotation of C1 or
C5.
- With or Without Laterality
A short leg is required before this is tested
Cervical Syndrome Test:
The side that is down when the head is turned and legs are perfectly even - -
ANSWER Is the side of Posterior rotation
Cervical Syndrome Test:
What would the dural attachment for this site be? - ANSWER C4 or C5 due to the
relation to C5
- (C1 has no dural attachments)
Cervical Syndrome Test:
What are 4 possibilities of the appearance of a positive Cervical Syndrome Test but
are NOT? - ANSWER 1. Short leg appears even but are not quite.
2. Legs get even momentarily, but short leg immediately shortens again.
3. Short leg becomes even but continues to lengthen. Short leg switches.
, 4. Bilateral cervical syndrome in which short leg keeps alternating.
*To verify, have the patient repeat turning head right and left three times to
distinguish item #4 from item #3.
What is the 3 second rule? - ANSWER The head is turned, wait for a full three
seconds.
At the end of the three seconds the reflex has reached maturity.
What is the primary? - ANSWER At the end of the 3 second reflex only the
primary will make the leg length perfectly even.
With the Cervical Syndrome Test what is the priority? - ANSWER C1 should be
checked first
C5 should be checked secondary
Cervical Syndrome Test: The head is facing the right, with a right leg short, what is
the listing? - ANSWER None for Cervical Syndrome Test, the legs must be even!
Cervical Syndrome Test: The head is facing the left with the both legs perfectly
even, what is the listing? - ANSWER Right Posterior rotation or C1 or C5, ON
THE LEFT
"the side that is down (right side of face) with the legs even is the side of posterior
rotation"
Bilateral Cervical Syndrome Test: Indicates - ANSWER A positive bilateral
cervical syndrome indicates that the entire segment is Posterior, Inferior direction
subluxations WITHOUT rotation or laterality at that moment.
Bilateral Cervical Syndrome Test: What are the listings possible? - ANSWER
