Anterior dura girdle according to Jealous.

Ear pull technique:

-the thumbs are lying at the meatus auditorius externus.

-the index- and middle fingers are lying behind the earlobe, as close as possible to the temporal bone.

-The thumbs and the fingers take a hold of the anti-tragus and the earlobe.

-One gives an oblique lateral, posterior and cranial traction in the course of the petrous part.

-The force used is increased gently and very slowly.

-While doing the traction, the direction of pulling might constantly change slightly, according to the tension patterns of the tentorium and the sutures.

Anterior dura girdle according to Jealous:

The anterior dura girdle stretches along the posterior edge of the lesser wings and along the posterior part of the coronal suture up the greater wings. This term is usually just used in the early stages of embryological development.

Its function is unknown. One assumes, that, as a fluid membranous structure, it has an integrating function on the anterior cranial structures and, for example, participates in dysfunctions of the spheno-squamous pivot point.
