Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 If your child does not present with AAI at the first measurement, Special Olympics does not requrie further testing, at least in the many years Janet was in SO gymnastics. My guess is that if your child doesn't have AAI and is physically active (as Jan was), re-testing isn't required. If your child has AAI, it might improve over the years and testing might bring good news and a release in restrictions.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 That must vary state to state, Rick, because has never presented with AAI but SO always wants updated testing every three years, here in Pennsylvania.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 At SO here, as part of the 3 year physical, the doctor must check for and attest that there are no AAI symptoms present. If he feels another X-ray is necessary, then the athlete must have that done before approval for participation is allowed. The same procedure is necessary for our therapeutic riding program.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 My understanding is that x-rays in flexion and extension are required to detect cervical instability of C1 on C2. Can this condition be detected in MRIs as well? Thank-you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
