spinal examination and assessment

The spine is a complex part of the body, with the very important role of protection and support. Without the spine, we would literally be a pile of bones. There are 34 vertebrae in the spine, split into 5 sections. 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 5 sacral bones and 5 Coccygeal bones. There are ligaments attaching to the spine. Anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, inter spinous ligaments, inter transverse ligaments, ligamentum flavum, and ligamentum nuchae. Several muscles attach directly to the spine, including, rhomboid major and minor, splenius capitus and cervices and trapezius.

Week 7

What s quick week! Lucky really! Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were spent concentrating on my research assignment. I’m really enjoying doing it. On Thursday, we had a mock manual therapy written exam. It was hard!! We then spent the afternoon learning ankle mobilisations. I need some practise of these so get ready close friends and family! It was literally a crash course of them which is a little annoying when it takes me double to time to learn each one. On Friday, we had a lecture on SPSS relationships and correlations etc. I’m enjoying SPSS but it is a massive head frier when you have to learn it all in one lecture. I need more time. Once I get it, I get it, but it takes a little longer! The park run is cancelled because of the weather, but I am actually craving a lie in and relaxed weekend of no work!

this week has been super fast! i have literally done nothing all week! on Tuesday, we had a lecture on employ-ability for when we graduate. We were advised to go to career fairs and build a network on linked in. On Thursday, we had a mock exam for our practical exam next week. it was actually really good to do as we now know exactly what we need to do for the exam! on Friday, we learnt stats again. it didn't take long for the head to become fried with numbers etc. i got to go back to my flat at 11, which i saw a fire engine, and as dad is a fireman back home, i went off to explore it. Lancashire fire and rescue service were demonstrating hot oil fires and what not to do. I managed to complete my last assignment of the year, which i submitted on Saturday! on Saturday, myself and Chris set off for park run in an attempt to complete a half marathon. We didn't expect 20 degree temperatures, and we definitely didn't take enough water, and didn't think of sun cream...
