Lab 1 - Palpation & UQS Flashcards
somatic dysfunction palpation acronym
ART; asymmetries, rom, tissue texture changes (knots, tone, rigidity)
three steps of palpation
reception, transmission, interpretation
upper quarter screen scanning exam steps - posture
always sit up straight and head shoulders knees toes
anterior - check ear symmetry, shoulder symmetry, palpate clavicle
lateral - external acoustic meatus over acromion, run hand down spine
posterior - parallel shoulder blades with spine, palpate spine of scapula, inferior border for symmetry, check arms down at side
upper quarter screening exam - ROM steps cervical spine
- flexion
- extension
- sidebending
- Rotation
upper quarter screening exam - ROM steps shoulder
- Flexion (180)
- Extension (PROM only)
- Scaption (180)
- Abduction (180)
- FIR (no overpressure) - Ext, ir, add
- FER (no overpressure) - flx, er, abd
upper quarter screening exam - ROM steps elbow, wrist, hand
- Elbow flexion
- Elbow extension
- forearm supination
- forearm pronation
- wrist flexion
- wrist extension
- fingers abd/add and touch each to thumb
- finger abd/add
single nerve root that innervates muscle
myotome
myotomal testing cranial nerves
cervical spine - flexion, extension, sidebending (C1-3) shoulder elevation (C4) shoulder abduction (C5) elbow flexion (C6) elbow extension (C7) wrist flexion (C7) wrist extension (C6) thumb extension (C8) finger abduction (T1)
hold peak resistance for myotomal testing for blank seconds
