Purpose
[edit | edit source]
Test for hypermobility of the atlantoaxial articulation.
Technique [1][edit | edit source]
- The patient is placed in a supine postion with the Therapist supporting the patient's head with the palms and 3rd-5th fingers.
- The Therapist then places the index fingers between the occiput and spinous process of C2, so the index fingers are over the neural arch of the C1 vetebra.
- The Therapist then lifts the patients head and C1 vetebra anteriorly, without allowing flexion or extension.
- The position should be held for 10-20 seconds.
- A positive test is the reoccurance of symptoms.
