Flashcards
Fryette's Law #1: Neutral Mechanics
Fryette's Law #1: Neutral Mechanics
Describes how the spine moves in a neutral position (neither flexed nor extended). Side bending and rotation happen in opposite directions. For example, bending to the left causes the spine to rotate to the right.
Fryette's Law #2: Non-neutral Mechanics
Fryette's Law #2: Non-neutral Mechanics
Describes how the spine moves when it's either flexed or extended. Side bending and rotation occur in the same direction. For example, bending to the right causes the spine to rotate to the right.
Fryette's Law #3
Fryette's Law #3
States that motion in one direction will reduce movement in all other directions. This is particularly important for high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulations. It promotes comfort and potentially safety by avoiding extreme movement.

Study Notes
Lumbopelvic Anatomy and Kinematics
- Objectives: Understand the normal anatomy and osteokinematics of the lumbopelvic region, become familiar with Fryette's laws, demonstrate palpation ability of selected structures
- Lumbar Spine: Contains 5 lumbar vertebrae, anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, ligamentum flavum, and interspinal ligament
- Facet Joints: Facet joint orientation varies significantly. Half-moon shape (2%), flat/normal (57%), asymmetrical half-moon/flat (31%). Anomalies exist at L5-S1
- Intervertebral Disc and Endplate: Visible anatomical structures
- Lumbar Spine Muscles: Includes superficial and deep muscles, e.g., spinalis, longissimus, iliocostalis, multifidus, rotators, interspinales
- Sacrum/Coccyx: 5 fused vertebrae, coccyx (tailbone) also 5 fused vertebrae
- Pelvis: Composed of the ilium, ischium, and pubis, sacroiliac joint, hip joint, anatomical differences (gynecoid and android)
- Sacral/Pelvic Muscles: Includes gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, piriformis, gemelli, obturator internus, obturator externus, quadratus femoris
- Lumbopelvic Nerves: Lumbar plexus and sacral plexus
- Osteokinematics: Flexion (40-60°), extension (20-35°), lateral flexion (15-20°), rotation (3-18°)
- Rotation Limited by Facet Orientation: Rotation is limited by the orientation of the facet joints
- Nutation vs Counternutation: Movements of the sacrum relative to the ilium
- Innominate Dysfunctions: Includes inflares/outflares, anterior/posterior rotations, upslips/downslips
- Sacral Torsions: Left and right oblique axis, middle transverse axis (key posture)
- Arthrokinematics: Facet joint slide without roll, intervertebral joint pivot and glide, ball bearing, closing and opening of facet joints.
- Fryette's Laws: Law #1 describes opposite motion during side bending and rotation, Law #2 describes same motion in non-neutral spines, Law #3 discusses decreased motion in one direction reducing motion in other directions
- Palpation: Bony landmarks (spinous process, top of iliac crest, PSIS, sacral base) and soft tissues (erector spinae, hip adductors, abductors, extensors/rotators, flexors)
Key terminology/Anatomical structures
- ASIS: Anterior Superior Iliac Spine
- AIIS: Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine
- PSIS: Posterior Superior Iliac Spine
- ILA: Inferior Lateral Angle (of the sacrum)
