  1. NUCCA Misalignment Patterns By Takanobu Nakaseko

  2. Distributions of 4 Types Type1 52% Type2 23% Type3 7% Type4 18%

  3. Premise Since each of the orientation planes bisect the body, it follows that each plane must pass through the center of gravity. Hence, the center of gravity may be defined as the vertical line at which the two vertical planes intersect each other NUCCA protocols and perspectives Ch11, 11-2, THE ORIENTATION PLANES OF THE BODY

  4. Terminology • Atlas Plane Line (APL) Measure of the horizontal plane of C1

  5. Terminology • Angular Rotation (Lower Angle) • The line connected by center of the neural canal of the C2 and lowest visible vertebra (Usually C7 or T1)

  6. Terminology • Central Skull Line (CSL) • The line bisect the skull into equal halves. This line pass through the center of gravity of the head.

  7. Type1 Misalignment val.1 Characteristics - C1 laterality on the same side of angular rotation - Contralateral acute angle - Skull is parallel to vertical axis - C1 is above parallel Side of Laterality

  8. Type1 Misalignment val.2 Characteristics - C1 laterality on the same side of angular rotation - Contralateral acute angle - Skull is toward vertical axis - C1 is above parallel Side of Laterality

  9. Type2 Misalignment Characteristics - C1 laterality on the opposite side of angular rotation - Ipsilateral acute angle - Skull is tipped toward vertical axis - C1 remains fairly horizontal - Laterality produced mainly by skull Mainly by Skull Side of Laterality

  10. Type3 Misalignment Characteristics - C1 laterality on the same side of skull tipping - No angular rotation - C1 remains fairly horizontal - Laterality produced by skull tipping Directly by Skull Side of Laterality

  11. Type4 Misalignment Characteristics - C1 laterality on the same side of angular rotation - Contralateral acute angle - Skull is tilted away from vertical axis - C1 is above parallel Side of Laterality
