Q

Treatment of traumatic sprains and strains

A

AROM (after pain and edema are controlled), cervical isometric strengthening exercises, education in cervical posture mechanics
Avoid reproducing the motion that caused the injury
Full recovery involves the elimination of pain and swelling initially, rest from any aggravating positions, return of normal cervical spine ROM, enhanced muscle strength, postural awareness actvs

Q

Cervical Distraction Test Purpose

A

Is an increase in the thoracic posterior convexity that is manifested by a rounded-back (and protracted scapulae) posture

A

Kyphosis

32
Q

Treatment of kyphosis:

A

Postural re-ed (ventilation, inhibition and stretching, spinal mobility)

33
Q

How does OP (Osteoporosis) create kyphotic posture

A

OP causes anterior wedging of the involved segments and creates the kyphotic posture

34
Q

Even though Disc herniations are rare where do they most commonly occur

A

9th- 12th thoracic vertebrae

35
Q

For disc herniations what does treatment depend on

A

Whether the disc herniation is herniated laterally or centrally

36
Q

Soft-tissue injuries usually involve direct contact (contusion during actvs) or indirect overstretching or contraction of the thoracic muscles

A

Thoracic Spine muscle injuries

37
Q

Management ofThoracic Spine muscle injuries

A

Control of pain and edema
Active ROM actvs and strengthening (as allowed by pain)
Prone thoracic and lumbar extension exercises to pt’s tolerance
