What is bucket handle motion of ribs? What ribs use this as a primary motion?
Ribs 1 - 2, 8 - 10
movement superiorly and laterally –> increases transverse diameter
What is pump handle motion of ribs? What ribs use this as a primary motion?
ribs 3 - 7
movement anteriorly and superiorly –> increases anterior/posterior diameter
What is a pincer (caliper) motion of the rib? What ribs use this as a primary motion?
downward and posterior w/ inhalation
upward and superior w/ exhalation
What is torsional respiratory movement?
one rib goes back and compresses while the other goes forward and widens (think twisting)
