John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Multi-published Author and in this video he will be teaching motion of the vertebral column and this is known as spinal mechanics. The origin was from Lovett in 1903 and then Fryette in 1918 and is known as the Laws of Spinal Mechanics. He also discusses the spinal engine model as proposed by Gracovetsky.
This motion follows the Lovett, fryette's laws or principles of spinal mechanics of type 1 (neutral) and type 2 (non-neutral).
Neutral mechanics or Type 1 is side bending of the lumbar or thoracic spine is coupled with horizontal rotation to the opposite side.
Non neutral mechanics or Type 2 is side bending of the lumbar or thoracic spine is coupled with horizontal rotation to the same side.
In another video John will teach you if the facet joint is stuck in an open position called an FRS (flexion, rotation and side bending) or fixed closed in an ERS (extension, rotation and side bending).
John also shows you in his other videos to assess the nerve root level of the adductors (obturator nerve through L3 reflex), patella tendon (femoral nerve through L4 reflex), semitendinosus (tibial / sciatic nerve of L5 reflex) and Achilles / plantar (tibial nerve of sciatic through S1 reflex) and a normal response is classified as 2++. Any reduced hypo-reflex (1+) or increased hyper-reflex (3+++) with Clonus and Babinski positive as might indicate some form of upper motor neurone lesion like Multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord tumour or brain injury. Any altered reflex will need further investigation as a possibility of disc or neural pathology. These techniques and more is taught on the Neurological Master-Class at the University of Oxford.
