METHOD FOR TREATING REMOTE CONSEQUENCES OF CRANIOCEREBRAL INJURY Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61H1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves applying manual therapy techniques like occipital condyles decompression by applying cranial traction; occipitomastoid sutures decompression applied by means of external rotation and concurrent lateral traction of temporal bones from occipital bones; frontonasal and coronal suture decompression by applying traction to lateral frontal bone angles in ventral and then in ventro-caudal direction; sphenobasillar synchondrosis decompression by applying traction to basal bone wings in ventral direction. Occipital pump is carried out by applying lateral traction to mastoid processes. Alternating occipital bones rotation is carried out in opposite directions with gradually increasing amplitude. First, alternating temporal bones rotation is carried out by acting upon the mastoid processes in opposite directions, gradually increasing rotation amplitude and frequency. The occipital condyles decompression is carried out by cranially applying traction. The greater occipital foramen is dilated by applying dorso-latero-caudal traction during flexion cranial rhythm phase and releasing it during extension cranial rhythm phase until relaxation is achieved. Temporal bone position is restored by applying unilateral external rotation towards restriction side, concurrently rotating the occipital bone about vertical axis with zygomatic process of temporal bone being concurrently caudo-laterally displaced and the mastoid process in dorso-medial direction. Frontonasal and coronal suture decompression is carried out by applying traction to lateral frontal bone angles in ventral and then in ventro-caudal direction. The sphenobasillar synchondrosis decompression is carried out by rotating basal and occipital bones about their torsion and lateroflexion axes to achieve prestress state and holding in this state until restriction is released. Facial skeleton bones position is normalized by caudo-ventrally moving the occipital bone, concurrently applying pressure from the oral cavity to the palate in cruciform suture area towards patient nostrils, and increasing cranio-dorsal action upon the occipital bone in dorsally moving finger introduced into the oral cavity applying pressure to the cruciform suture towards patient nose roof. Large wings of nasal bone are treated in caudo-ventral direction causing frontal bone flexion by applying pressure towards nose base and concurrently carrying out internal frontal bone rotation in cranio-dorsally moving the basal bone large wings, applying pressure cranially from the oral cavity to the cruciform suture towards the basal bone body until restriction is released. The occipitomastoid sutures decompression is carried out by means of external rotation and concurrent lateral traction of temporal bones from occipital bones in ventro-caudal direction and about vertical axis from the temporal bone. The occipital pump is carried out by applying lateral traction to mastoid processes. The alternating occipital bones rotation is repeated in opposite directions without increasing amplitude and finished by dorsally and medially displacing the mastoid processes concurrently moving the large wing of basal bone in cranial, dorsal and medial direction. The treatment is applied twice with 10 days long pause.

EFFECT: normalized liquor-producing and liquor-conducting mechanism functions.
