Basic principles

Question 1

9 basic principles

Answer 1

1. pt position
2. PT position
3. manual contact
4. spring test/quick stretch
5. appropriate resistance - traction
6. verbal cues
7. visual cues
8. using proper pattern
9. proper timing

Question 2

What should you use to determine optimal neutral position?

Answer 2

• Ensure spine is in neutral

- Palpate muscles of neck/back to ensure they are relaxed

Question 3

Guidelines for monitoring effective pattern

Answer 3

1. Equal tissue tension
2. Minimal trunk motion occurs
3. Straight diagonal with arc of motion
4. Motion supine, ant/post.
5. Head of humerus should approximate and cross midline

Question 4

Scap motion: skid

Answer 4

pure AE

Question 5

Scap motion: spin

Answer 5

pure rotation

Question 6

Effective pattern

Answer 6

Rolls - skid and spin combined

-Facilitated by emphasizing traction with resistance

Question 7

Hand position for scap AD

Answer 7

Lateral/anterior border of scap, pec minor muscle

Question 8

Hand position for scap PE

Answer 8

AC, spine of scap

Question 9

Hand position for scap AE

Answer 9

AC, spine of scap

Question 10

Hand position for scap PD

Answer 10

inferior angle of the scap

Question 11

Purpose of pelvic girdle patterns

Answer 11

1. eval and tx trunk strength, coordination, mobility
2. facilitate LE function
3. facilitate rolling
4. FM of lumbar spine and pelvis

Question 12

4 Elements of the learning sequence

Answer 12

1. Assumption of position
2. Stability within position
3. Mobility within position over fixed distal extremity of BOS
4. Locomotion

Question 13

Learning sequence

Answer 13

• Organization of posture and movements based on normal human growth and development
• Not a linear approach, relies on development of available motor abilities and integration of those skills into appropriate postures and movements throughout sequence.

Question 14

Purpose of sidelying scap patterns

Answer 14

• Eval trunk strength, coordination, mobility
• Eval UE mobility/stability
• Facilitate UE function
• Facilitate rolling
• facilitate efficient cervical/thoracic function
• Increased ROM of UQ
• Treat costo-vert dysfunction

Question 15

Prime stabilizer of scap PD

Answer 15

Rhomboids - emphasize adduction resistance and traction, ER of shoulder.

Question 16

Purpose of pelvic girdle patterns

Answer 16

• Eval and tx trunk strength, coordination, mobility
• Facilitate LE function
• Facilitate rolling
• FM of lumbar spine and pelvis

Question 17

Female type pelvis grip

Answer 17

Hook on ilium, pelvis is wider and easier to grip

Question 18

Male type pelvis grip

Answer 18

Hook on greater trochanter/glute med, pelvis is more narrow.
