Keys to Dx Flashcards
What muscle is used to treat rib 1 exhalation dysfunction?
ant/med scalene
What muscle is used to treat rib 2 exhalation dysfunction?
post scalene
What muscle is used to treat ribs 3-5 exhalation dysfunction?
pectoralis minor
What muscle is used to treat ribs 6-8 exhalation dysfunction?
serratus anterior
What muscle is used to treat ribs 9-10 exhalation dysfunction?
latissimus dorsi
What muscle is used to treat ribs 11-12 exhalation dysfunction?
quadratus lumborum
How do we treat ribs 1-10 inhalation dysfunction? ribs 11-12?
- depress key rib with exhalation
2. quadratrus lumborum
Steps in Rib DX
- Screening view of ribs
a. Tenderness
b. Static Asymmetry (place hands on ribs, and note if either side is superior/inferior, anterior/posterior)
c. TTA - Motion testing (with hands on ribs, have pt breath and check to see if one side or both moves better into exhalation or inhalation)
a. Asymmetry
b. Restriction of motion
How do you test bucket handle motion? pump handle?
- Move ribs side to side starting from bottom ribs up to axilla
- Check motion along the costal cartilages
What is the first step in innominate dx?
Standing Flexion test OR ASIS compression test
- hook up under PSISs, and have pt. bend forward to see which PSIS moves first +farther/superior
- Alternating posterior compression; + sign is when they don’t move as far posteriorly
What is something you need to do before you check the innominate when you have your pt lie supine?
reset the hips
*important for dx and re-asses
What are the steps, in order, of dx-ing an innominate?
- Lumbar flexion test OR ASIS compression test
- Evaluate for rotations and/or shears
a. PSIS height
b. ASIS height
c. Iliac crest height
d. Medial malleoli height - Evaluate for inflates or outflares
a. ASIS to midline - Evaluate for pubic dysfunction
a. Pubic tubercles
If the distance from ASIS to midline is longer on the left than the right, what do you have?
a left outflare
*distance shrinks –> inflare
For an anterior innominate rotation, you’d have what for the following:
- Standing flexion/ASIS compression
- PSIS heights
- ASIS heights
- Medial malleoli
- Iliac crests
- positive on side of dysfunction
- superior on side of dysfunction
- inferior on side of dysfunction
- inferior on side of dysfunction
- even
For a posterior innominate rotation, you’d have what for the following:
- Standing flexion/ASIS compression
- PSIS heights
- ASIS heights
- Medial malleoli
- Iliac crests
- positive on side of dysfunction
- inferior on side of dysfunction
- superior on side of dysfunction
- superior on side of dysfunction
- even
