CPA1 Flashcards
Rib screening/dx
screening: pt seated feel all down back for tenderness/restriction w/ breathing, then pt supine and feel laterally w/ translation and centrally w/ breathing
1-2: doc at head; thumbs on rib 1, index on rib 2 (bucket handle)
3-6: doc at side; first 2 fingers sternal end of ribs and monitor in inhalation/exhalation (pump handle), then feel costochondral ends w/ respiration (can do both at once if male)
7-10: doc at side; thumb on rib 7 (pump handle) and fingers on 8-10 at MA line (bucket handle)
pt prone
11-12: thumbs palpate posterior, fingers palpate lateral (caliper motion - down/out w/ inhalation, up/in exhalation)
TART
rib inhalation/exhalation Dx
BITE = bottom inhalation, top exhalation (key rib to treat)
if a rib stops moving before another, it has a restriction to that respiratory motion (ex: stops first in inhalation -> exhalation SD)
rib 1 inhalation SD Tx
pt supine, doc at head
thumb ipsilateral to SD on anteromedial rib, other hand flexes head, SB twoards, and rotates away from SD
resist inhalation, exaggerate exhalation (3-5x)
Ribs 2-6 inhalation SD Tx
pt supine w/ SD rib on docs knee and SB towards SD rib, doc behind w/ ispilateral knee on table
web of hand in intercostal space superior to SD rib
resist inhalation, exaggerate exhalation (3-5x)
ribs 7-10 inhalation SD Tx
pt supine w/ ispliateral shoulder adducted, doc on SD side
ipsilateral thumb and index finger on superior surface of SD rib wrapping around side
SB pt to the level of SD, resist inhalation and exaggerate exhalation
Ribs 11-12 inhalation SD Tx
pt prone w/ legs SB 15-20 degrees towards SD, doc opposite of SD
cephalad hand medial and inferior to rib, caudad hand grasps ASIS ipsilateral to SD
apply sustained lateral and cephalad traction to SD, resist inhalation and exaggerate exhalation
ribs 1-2 exhalation SD Tx
pt supine w/ head rotated 30 degrees away from SD rib w/ back of hand on forehead, doc opposite SD
cephalad hand on pts hand on head, caudad hand grasps superior angle of SD rib around back
apply caudad and lateral traction and instruct pt to flex head and neck and resist this force for 3-5 secs, repeat w/ increasing traction
ribs 3-5 exhalation SD Tx
pt supine w/ ipsilateral arm flexed, doct contralateral
cephalad hand on pts arm, caudad hand on superior angle of SD rib
apply caudad and lateral traction and instruct pt to push elbow against doc force and resist 3-5 secs, repeat w/ increasing traction
ribs 6-8 exhalation SD Tx
pt supine w/ ipsilateral shoulder flexed to 90, doc ipsilateral
cephalad hand on superior SD rib, caudad hand on elbow
apply caudad and lateral traction and instruct pt to push elbow towards the ceiling and resist 3-5 secs, repeat w/ increasing traction
ribs 9-10 exhalation SD Tx
pt supine w/ ipsilateral arm abducted, doc ipsilateral
cephalad hand abducts ipsilateral shoulder to 90 and stabilizes elbow, caudad hand on superior SD rib
apply caudad and lateral traction and instruct pt to push elbow caudally and resist 3-5 secs, repeat w/ increasing traction
ribs 11-12 exhalation SD Tx
pt probe w/ legs SB 15-20 degrees away from SD, doct contralateral
cephalad hand stabilizes rib superior to SD rib, caudad hand on iliac crest ipsilateral to SD
cephalad hand exerts pressure while pt pulls iliac crest towards ipsilateral shoulder against doc counterforce for 3-5 secs, repeat w/ increasing traction
innominate Dx
standing flexion test (+ PSIS movement) OR ASIS compression test to determine SD side (+ hard end feel)
evaluate PSIS/ASIS/iliac crest/medial malleoli
evaluate for inflares/outflares (ASIS to midline)
evaluate for pubic SD (pubic tubercle height)
anterior innominate rotation
ASIS inferior on SD side
PSIS superior on SD side
iliac crests even
malleoli long on SD side
posterior innominate rotation
ASIS superior on SD side
PSIS inferior on SD side
iliac crests even
malleoli short on SD side
superior innominate shear
ASIS superior on SD side PSIS superior on SD side iliac crest superior on SD side malleoli short on SD side pubic tubercle superior on SD side
inferior innominate shear
all inferior SD side
outflare vs inflare
ASIS to midline distance longer on SD side = outflare
ASIS to midline shorter on SD side = inflare
anterior innominate rotation Txs
supine: doc flexes knee to chest to RB, pt pushes against doc 3-5 secs and new RB reached
prone: doc places one hand on sacrum and uses the other to place pts foot on their thigh, doc flexes thigh to RB then MET
reassess
posterior innominate rotation Txs
supine: doc on side of SD, one hand on opposite ASIS other hand extends hip off the table to RB, MET
prone: doc opposite of SD, extends knee to RB, put pushes against doc 3-5 secs and new RB reached
reassess
superior innominate shear Tx
pt supine w/ feet off table, doc at foot
doc grasps ankle and IR/abducts then leans back, pt pulls hip back 3-5 secs against force and new RB reached
reassess
inferior innominate shear Tx
pt supine w/ feet off table, doc at foot
doc grasps ankle and IR/abducts and applies cephalad compression, pt pushes against doc force 3-5 secs and new RB reached
reassess
inflare Tx
pt supine, doc opposite of SD
pt SD hip flexed and crossed across other leg, doc cephalad hand on ASIS opposite of SD and caudad hand on flexed knee
doc abducts/ER hip to RB and pt pushes against phys force 3-5 secs, new RB reached
reassess
outflare Tx
pt supine, doc opposite side of SD
same position as inflare Tx but doc adducts/IR hip and pt force is the opposite direction
pubic SD Tx
pt supine, doc at side
doc hands on outsides of knees and pt pushes outward, then doc forearm b/w legs and pt pushes inward
