• Thompson entered palmer when

  age 37

  graduated 1949
• what did Thompson notice at school

  body being pushed away from pt and develops a drop piece
• What is the terminal point

  point which table stops the drop but spinal segment or region receives the force
• What is a leg check?

  visual tactile determination of the extensive of unbalanced motor output secondary to a need for specific sensory input aka adjustment
• what does a short leg tell you

  subluxation in body but not what region
• Hugh B Logan stated what 


  MC cause of short leg is loss of arch of foot
• Major Dejarnette said what about short leg

  iliac rotation could cause a short leg
• Who was the first chiro to measure the anatomical short leg?

  Joy Loban
• Dr Amos neurology of short leg

  asymmetric tonic neck reflex
• influence of medial and lateral spinothalamic tracts

  spinothalamic input due to pain stimulation due to stretching of joint capsule on head rotation

  pain signals decussate to the reticular system and pons

  reticulospinal output results in paraspinal muscle tone changes
• Thompson analysis 3 steps

  Based on prone leg checks, palpation and observation

  compatible with full spine instrumentation

  adjust cervical first then pelvis
• -D


  from flexion to extension the short legs stays short or evens out
• +D


  from flexion to extension the short leg becomes the long leg
• Short leg in extension and flexion is?

  -Derifiled on the same side
• Long leg in extension but short in flexion is?

  +Derifield on the opposite side
• 5 basic leg check categories

  cervical syndrome (CS)

  X-derifield cervical syndrome (XDCS)

  bilateral cervical syndrome (BCS)

  negative derifield (-D)

  positive derifiled (+D)
• if prone short leg

• how accurate are leg checks

  within 3mm
• cervical syndrome labeled

  By the way the nose goes
