houston quizOnline version houston quiz by kenneth thomas 1 which palpatory finding would most strongly indicate a flexion malposition misalignment? a fixation and abnormal space between spinous processes b anterior movement of spinous process upon motion palpation c no movement of spinous processes in extension d lateral rotation of body in extension 2 An inability to feel the space between adjacent spinous processes when the surrounding interspinous spaces are palpable may indicate a: a extension malposition b flexion malposition c altered interosseous spacing d lateral flexion malposition 3 You have a patient that you have determined to have a PL C5 verterba, but the form his insurance company has provided only allows for houston conference listing, (like they would ever really care about listings...:)) How would you categorize this for them? a right rotational malposition b left rotational malposition c Left lateral flexion malposition d right lateral flexion malposition 4 Your palpation reveals that the C6 spinous is fixated to the right of midline and is inferior in comparison with those around it. this would be classified as: a left rotational and flexion malposition b left rotational and extension malposition c right rotational and flexion malposition d right rotational and extension malposition 5 increaed interosseous spacing is typcially the result of a traction b injury c infection d inversion 6 What commonly preceeds a retrolistesis a A fall on the head b disc degeneration c tight splenius cervicis muscles d whiplash 7 A gonstead PRI listing would be most accurately described in this system as a a left rotational and extension malpostion b a right rotational and extension malposition c a left rotational and flexion malposition d a lateral flexion malposition 8 A gonstead practitioner determines that one component of a lumbar subluxation includes an open wedge to the left. using this system, which would most accurately describe just that component of his analysis? a right lateral flexion malposition b left lateral flexion malposiiton c right rotational malposition d left rotational malposition 9 an anterolistesis visible on plain film and measuring 3 mm is also indicative of: a ligament instability b hypermobility c nerve interference d enlightenment 10 a patient with right rotational malposition of c3, c4, c5 and c6 would have difficulty turing his head to the Written answer 11 A patient has a T6 vertebra with in right rotational malposition and left lateral flexion malposition.
