LESSON PLAN

This course provides an integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the science and art of full spine disorders. Detailed literature reviews covering the sagittal plane of the spine during pediatric development through age related change occurring in senior populations will be presented. Statistical correlations between each spinal region will be detailed so the Chiropractor understands how alterations in one region of the spine can influence regions above or below. A primary objective is to introduce the attendee to the anatomic variable of pelvic morphology (geometric alignment of the sacrum inside the ilia) and thoracic inlet morphology (geometric alignment of T1 relative to the sternum) and how variations and anomalies of these morphology measurements alter the sagittal plane alignment of the spine. Further, it will be explained how common anomalies such lumbo-sacral transitional vertebra, 4 lumbar vertebra, 6 lumbar vertebra influence the sagittal plane alignment of the spine. In the end, details of case management using these topics will be covered using a variety of case studies for a comprehensive picture of clinical application of this course material. A survey of research material will be reviewed supporting the utilization and efficacy of CBP technique treatment methods across a population of patients with abnormal spine conditions.

Learning Objectives:

• Analyze sagittal plane spinal alignment models by describing the biomechanical relationships between cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sacral angle, and global sagittal balance.
• Interpret statistical correlations of spinal alignment variables using scatter plots and linear regression models to evaluate relationships among spinal regions and postural alignment.
• Identify and measure pelvic morphology parameters including pelvic incidence, pelvi-sacral angle, pelvic radius, and posterior tangent pelvic incidence angle.
• Evaluate how variations in pelvic morphology influence sagittal plane spinal alignment, including effects on sacral base angle, lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, cervical lordosis, and sagittal translation.
• Assess thoracic inlet morphology parameters and determine their relationship to T1 slope, cervical lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and global sagittal balance.
• Differentiate common lumbar spinal anomalies such as lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae, four-lumbar vertebra configurations, and six-lumbar vertebra configurations, and explain their influence on sagittal spinal alignment.
• Apply clinical decision-making strategies using CBP technique principles to develop case management approaches for patients with sagittal plane spinal abnormalities.
