Convex on concave = OPP
Post glide will improve IR
Joint mob to increase shoulder abduction
Inferior glide
Joint mob to improve shoulder ER
Anterior glide
Ankylosing spondylitis - known complication
OP
should be able to walk, no sx, and no peripheral nerve dysfunction
Short L step length
Excessive L knee flex with midstance - what is likely problem
Left hamstring contracture
L hip flexor contracture - gait changes
Dec step length on R limb due to tight hip flexor on L
Anterior talofibular ligament injury - most likely mechanism
Inversion
Test with anterior drawer
OA and AA cervical coupling
OPP LF and Rot
C3-C7 spine coupling
SAME LF and Rot
Forward head posture - due to
Dec DNF strength
Action of SCM
Ipsilateral LF, Contralateral Rot
Often tight with forward head posture
Listers tubercle
Located on the dorsal surface of the radial styloid process
Acts as a hook for the EPL
Tight left hip abductors will do what to the iliac crest
Pull it downward
So when standing with feet together, if left hip abductors are tight, the right iliac crest will appear higer but with feet spread apart they will be even
Duchenne MD - common posture
Hip flexors shortened - Ant pelvic tilt
Thoracic spine moves into relative ext to compensate
Scapular winging to keep COM behind hip joint
Can see hamstring contractures
