Leg Length Analysis Concept Another important aspect of the Technique is the method used to determine an imbalance in the length of the legs when observed with the patient in a prone position on the table. The "Leg Length System" is based on the early work of Dr. Derifield of Detroit, Michigan. The neurological basis for balance is found in the Reticular System of the brain where the Inhibitory and Facilitory systems maintain balance of the musculature of the body. A neurological imbalance will affect the musculature of the legs resulting in the appearance of one leg being short when observed with the patient in the prone position. The feet are observed in the extended position and then flexed to compare one with the other noting any difference in the appearance of length. Contraindications would be an anatomical short leg, history of poorly healed fracture, or a joint implant. The "Leg Length Analysis" has five levels of interpretation developed by Dr. Derifield. The length is observed at the juncture of where the heel and shoe come together with inversion and eversion removed and no dorsiflexion or plantar flexion of the feet. Subluxation levels are based on the "Leg Analysis "to determine what areas that may need to be adjusted. This is correlated with Physical Examination, X-ray and Motion findings, Palpation and Instrumentation utilized by the Doctor of Chiropractic. Segmental Drop Adjusting - The Legacy Continues What started out as an improved method for delivering the adjustment during the early era, has grown into a world wide use of the Segmental Drop System for Chiropractic Adjusting. The following story comes from hearing lectures to students and field doctors over the years and represents a chronology of historical importance. The "drop" headpiece was developed in an effort to come up with an easier method of delivering the adjustment thrust on something other than the knee chest table or the side posture bench with a fixed headpiece. His experience as a student in the Clinic while treating patients in the public clinic, which was held in the gymnasium, resulted in several ineffectual attempts to toggle a number of patients. The patient's head was placed on a firm headpiece that resulted in reflected force into the doctor's arms and shoulders. The early training incorporated a follow through drop of the doctors upper torso following the delivery of the thrust, which even with that, found it difficult to accept. While attending College, Dr. Clay had developed at his apartment, a side posture table with the head piece mounted on an auto jack from a Model T car. This was done to accommodate the height of the head when the patient was placed in the side posture position. When the thrust was delivered there was some vertical drop or give that added to the adjustment thrust. He surmised that if he could refine and control this drop it would be of some benefit to the proper execution of the adjustment. The first attempt resulted in a headpiece that was spring-loaded and had a drop of about 1/2 inch with the other end that swiveled and a catch that latched when the two pieces came together. This headpiece was utilized to experiment with the tension of the spring and various mechanisms for the latch that locked the headpiece down when the toggle thrust was delivered. The unit worked so well that several were made and thus was born the "Drop Headpiece". When I came to College one of the first things you did was to buy one of these drop boards even before purchasing your books. If you were lucky you would find a senior who was graduating and get a real good deal. Today there are several manufactures such as Lloyd Table Company and Thuli Tables that produce excellent toggle drops, that can be adjusted for the weight of the patient's head. As the story goes, Dr. Clay demonstrated the drop headpiece and felt it enhanced the toggle adjustment and they entered into an agreement to put the drop headpiece on the tables to be used in the clinic and classrooms. Many of these tables are still in use in the classroom. They were refurbished with new upholstery a few years ago, and continue to serve in the training of the students in learning toggle recoil adjusting.
