Final Review :) Flashcards
What kind of exercises are best for WAD/movement coordination disorder of cervical
Postural retraining, stability, segmental control
BP cuff training increasing from 20mm to 30mm in 2mm increments
what kind of exercises are best for cervical headache
SNAGs
T spine and C spine mobs
Scapulothoracic strengthening
suboccipital release
What action do the deep neck flexors do, in general
Rotate ipsilaterally, flex C spine
what do the suboccipital do, in general
ipsilaterally rotate, extend occiput
Longus Capitis does what
flexes head and upper c spine, assists in lateral flexion
longus colli does what
mainly flexes lower cervical spine
rotates to opposite direction
rectus capitis anterior does what
flexes the OA, finely controls head nodding (This is the one you work with chin tucks!!!!)
The rectus capitis lateralis does what
lateral flexion of head
What is the general action of the suboccipitals
Ipsilateral rotation and extension
Rectus capitis posterior major does what
ipsilateral rotation of OA/AA and extension
rectus capitis posterior minor does what
also extension of head
obliquus capitis superior does what
ipsilateral flexion of head
OA joint ext
olbiquus capitis inferior does what
ipsilateral head rotation
Innervation of the subocciptials and deep neck flexors
Suboccip: dorsal ramus of C1
DNF: Ventral rami of C1-C6
what is the normal resting position of the scapula
anterior tipping 10-20 degrees
upward rotation 10-20 degrees
30-45 angled from frontal plane
between t2-t7
5cm from t-spine
What is the difference between intersection syndrome and dequirvains
intersection syndrome will be felt more proximally (2inches from wrist)
Involves the muscles of the 1st and 2nd compartment APL, EPB and ECRB and ECRL
What exercise is most important for throwers returning to sport
Ball decelerations
You assess a thrower and they have 120 ER and 60 IR, is this normal?
Yes, don’t stretch they’re IR or you’ll just make them unstable
Flat back posture has what muscles short and what muscles long?
tight: hamstrings and abdominals
long: hip flexors
swayback has what muscles short and what muscles long
short: Hamstrings, Lower back, and Internal obliques
long: Hip flexors, External obliques, and upper back extensors
lordosis kyphosis has what muscles long and short
Tight: lower back, hip flexors
Long: Upper back, glutes and hamstrings, abdominals,
how do we do PAILS/RAILS to improve elbow flexion
go to end range elbow flexion
resist elbow extension building up force from 10%.. 20%… 30%…. all the way to 50-80%, hold 10 seconds. then switch direction 100% into Elbow flexion 10 seconds… rest and repeat
what is the best place to start rhythmic stabilization
supine at 90 flexion
how do you test for rhomboid dominance
assess Pt with seated ER and look for Retraction
