patient position/resistance for SCM palpation
supine/sitting with head contralaterally rotated
patient position/resistance for scalenes palpation
supine or sitting, laterally flex neck against mild resistance
patient position/resistance for carotid artery palpation
supine, head rotates to contralateral side of palpation
patient position/resistance for splenius capitis cervicis palpation
prone, rotate head ipsilataterally, resist extension, palpate SP to mastoid/superior nuchal line
patient position/resistance for semispinalis capitis palpation
prone, head and neck extension with resistance, palpate alongside SP in cervical
