Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

4.5K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

9.6K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

    Summary

    This study found no significant link between concussion and nonphysiologic cranial somatic dysfunctions. However, a trend suggests a possible association, warranting further research into concussion-related cranial dysfunctions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine

    Background:

    • Concussions can lead to cognitive, somatic, and behavioral issues.
    • Traumatic force severity influences symptom presentation.
    • Biomechanical trauma of concussion may commonly cause cranial somatic dysfunctions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of nonphysiologic versus physiologic cranial somatic dysfunctions in concussion patients.
    • To determine if concussion is associated with a higher likelihood of nonphysiologic cranial somatic dysfunctions.

    Main Methods:

    • College athletes with concussions (diagnosed via Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive test) were assessed within one week.
    • Physicians evaluated patients for cranial somatic dysfunctions.
    • Statistical analysis (SPSS) compared cranial strain patterns, test scores, and force vectors (P<.05 significance).

    Main Results:

    • The study included 16 athletes: 10 with nonphysiologic and 6 with physiologic cranial somatic dysfunctions.
    • Anteroposterior impact forces showed a trend (1.5x more often) towards nonphysiologic dysfunctions compared to lateral forces (P=.697).
    • No statistically significant association was found between specific cranial strain patterns and impact force vectors (P=.096).

    Conclusions:

    • No statistically significant association confirmed that concussion patients are more prone to nonphysiologic cranial somatic dysfunctions.
    • A trend suggests a potential association between nonphysiologic cranial somatic dysfunctions and concussion.
    • Further research is necessary to elucidate the relationship between concussion and cranial somatic dysfunctions.
