ACC RAC 2019 The following will share the various SOT related papers presented at this year's ACC RAC Conference. To view each abstract please go to the SOT Research Facebook Page since each presentation will be shared in that arena. Please like the page when you visit there.

While there is an infinite amount of information shared at the ACC RAC Conferences each year, the following are a few interesting tidbits from this year's ACC RAC 2019:

 


 

Spondylolysis with Adolescents


 

Spondylolysis Caution to assess for spondylolysis with adolescents that are performing exercise or activities (e.g., gymnastics, cheer leading, etc.) with rotation and extension loading of their vertebral joints, particularly if they have persistent lower back pain of over 3 weeks. Often MRIs are needed and spondylolysis findings can be from just a stress response to the pars interarticularis all the way to a non-union of that supportive junction.

Ruff A, Cornelson S, Wells C, Kettner N. Neural arch bone marrow edema and spondylolysis in adolescent cheerleaders: a case series. J Chiropr Educ. 2019;33(1):64-65.

 


 

Bullet Wounds


 

bullet wound It is not unusual to have a patient sustain the bullet from a bullet wound. Generally if the bullet is in the soft tissue it may not be an issue, however if the bullet is near a joint that may be problematic. Apparently the hyaluronic acid in the joint can breakdown the bullet's covering and cause lead poisoning.

Mattox R. Chiropractic co-management of two patients with low back pain and bullets in or near the spine. J Chiropr Educ. 2019;33(1):62.

 


 

Ultrasonography -- Contraindication?


 

ultrasound Ultrasonography can be a very valuable tool to assess osseous, soft tissue, and organs, and capable of being used while the patient is moved into various positions and offering no ionizing radiation. One contraindication for ultrasonography is if the patient has a cochlear implant. Apparently the sound waves can cause significant damage to the cochlear implant and adversely affect the subject in the process.

Cornelson S, Kettner N. Anatomic variation of the sciatic nerve utilizing sonography. J Chiropr Educ. 2019;33(1):55.

 


 

TMJ Lingual Nerve Disorder


 

TMJ When assessing a patient with a TMJ disorder if they report a metallic taste in their mouth it may be important to investigate if they have a lingual nerve disorder.

Gold P, Ellul N. TMJ trauma as a cause of lingual nerve impingement: a case report. .J Chiropr Educ. 2019;33(1):58.

The Association of Manual Muscle Tests and Treatment Outcomes With Headache and Cranial Dysfunctions: A Retrospective Case Series Report


 Cuthbert S, Blum C, Rosner A. Altern Ther Health Med. 2018;24(6)

Headache Conclusion: A symptomatic group of patients with headaches and cranial dysfunctions demonstrated manual muscle testing findings in the form of muscle inhibition. Cranial treatments to improve muscle strength were found to correlate with improvements in headache for these patients. This evidence may suggest that the manual muscle test is a potentially useful test for evaluating pericranial muscular impairments in patients with cranial dysfunctions and headache.
