extension type 2 SD

A

pt sits on table w/ arms folded across chest

physician stands behind/beside pt with arm over pt’s shoulder and hand on opposite shoulder

stabilize T10 TPs w/ thumb and index finger

flex thorax into RB to level of the stabilizing hand

induce ART motion until improvement

27
Q

ART, seated - lower thoracic SD

flexion type 2 SD

A

pt sits w/ arms folded across chest

physician sits beside pt w/ arm across chest; hand on opposite shoulder

stabilize T10 TPs and use this hand as a fulcrum

extend thorax and induce ART motion through RB

28
Q

Articulatory thoracic sidemending, prone

A

stand on contralateral side to PTP

place caudad hand on posterior ptp, fingers facing cephalad

cephalad hand insilateral w/ fingers facing caudal

downward pressure to articulate spine

exert longitudinal force w/ both hands to carry affected segment thru restrictive barrier

reassess

29
Q

ART, seated - lower thoracic sidebending SD

A

Doc stands or sits behind and beside pt who is seated w/ arms folded across the chest

thenar eminence at TP of dysfunctional vertebra on ipsilateral side to doc

doc induces sidebending force by pressing downward w/ axilla while also pressing medially w/ thenar eminence

hold 1-2 sec, then return to neutral

repeat rhythmically until motion is improved

30
Q

ART, seated - lower thoracic rotation SD

A

doc stands or sits behind and beside pt who has arms folded across chest

doc has arm over pt’s shoulder w/ hand on opposite shoulder

thenar eminence at TP of dysfunctional vertebra on contralateral side to doc

induce rotation by pulling shoulder anterior and pressing anteriorly w/ thenar eminence

hold 1-2 sec then return to neutral; repeat until motion improved

31
Q

MET/ART lumbar seated treatment (type 1 SD)

Dx L1-3 NRrSl

A

Pt sits w/ ipsilateral hand to PTP clasped behind neck and holding elbow w/ other hand

physician places hand over one bicep (standing on side contralateral to PTP)

monitor L2 TPs and TP of L3

rotate pt left and sidebend right

do MET or ART

32
Q

MET/ART lumbar seated treatment (type 2 SD)

Dx L2 ERrSr

A

pt’s hand ipsilateral to PTP on back of neck

physician stands contralateral to PTP

physician monitors L2 TPs and TP of L3

rotate left and sidebend left (too far if motion felt at L3)

MET or ART

33
Q

Seated Lumbar ART sidebending SD

A

Pt seated w/ hands across chest

physician with arm across chest and 1 hand on contralateral shoulder

thenar eminence at TP of dysfunctional vertebra on ipsilateral side of operator

induce sidebending by pressing downward w/ axilla while pressing laterally w/ thenar eminence

34
Q

Seated lumbar ART

rotation somatic dysfunction

A

Operator stands on contralateral side to PTP (if rotated right, stand on left side)

hand on opposite shoulder and thenar eminence on TP of dysfunctional vertebra contralateral to operator

induce rotation

ART

35
