Cervicothoracic Scan Flashcards
AROM - unwillingness to move or splinting
RED FLAG S&S - severe condition
AROM - few, if any, limited and/or painful planes of motion
less severe/acute condition
AROM - multiple limited and/or painful planes of motion
more severe/acute condition
AROM - aberrant motion
joint hyper mobility/instability
AROM - sharp/angulated spinal curve
joint hypomobility
AROM - region specific abnormalities i.e., large crease with neck ext
specific to region i.e., crease indicates hypermobility/instability
AROM - retest (up to 3x): improved P!/function
indicates inhibited m
regional interdependence
disc injury
AROM - retest: worse P!/function
indicates severe/acute condition
capsular vs non capsular pattern of restriction
capsular: firm end feels, loss of motion
non-capsular: any pattern not in capsular pattern
P! occurs in the direction of the same AROM and PROM
non contractile tissue
PROM similarly restricted as AROM in the same direction
joint hypomobility, protective guarding, or a shortened muscle
PROM significantly greater then AROM in the same direction
joint hypermobility/instability
PROM - motion limited similarly in both weight bearing and non-weight bearing positions
indicates joint hypomobility
PROM- motion greater in a non weight bearing position vs a weight bearing position
indicates joint hypermobility/instability
combined motion - consistent block through differing paths to the same point
joint hypomobility
combined motions - inconsistent block through differing paths to the same point
joint hypermobility
combined motions - opposing spinal quadrants blocked
fibrotic joint
resisted testing - strong and painful
mild condition
