OPP Flashcards
Thoracic midline and lateral tenderpoints
- T1-9 Spinous processes
- 1/2 inch bilateral on either side
- example: posterior midline T5 TP
T1-9 Lateral thoracic CS
- Patient prone
- Stand opposite and pull shoulder towards you on same side of TP
T1-9 Midline thoracic CS
- Locate TP; have patient twist their arms in front of them lying face down and put their palms together; lift their arms
- locate TP; have patient twist arms and put palms together while seated; extend patient’s back and lean them forward

Evaluation of posterior lumbar
- L1-5 Fryette’s
- T10-L5 posterior TP
Evaluation of ribs
- 2-10 for respiratory motion and subluxation
- ribs 1-10 for anterior and posterior TP
Supraspinatus CS
- Abduct arm 45 degrees
- Fine tune with external rotation
Levator scapulae CS
- Locate TP with opposite hand of TP (for left TP use right hand)
- weave opposite hand under patient’s arm to hold the inferior scapula
- Extend shoulder
- Elevate and retract scapula
- Fine tune using 6 motions of scapula or compression
AC CS
- Stand opposite of TP
- Flex and adduct shoulder
- Fine tune with slight traction and adduction
Biceps long head CS
- Flex elbow and shoulder
- Minimally abduct shoulder
- Internally rotate shoulder
Biceps short head CS
- Flex elbow and shoulder
- Minimally adduct and internally rotate shoulder
- Fine tune with adduction
Subscapularis CS
- Patient at edge of bed to allow shoulder extension
- Extend, interally rotate, and slightly abduct the shoulder
- Fine tune with traction
Radial head CS
- Extend elbow fully
- Supinate forearm fully
- Fine tune with ulna abduction or adduction
Interosseus membrane MFR (indirect)
- Hold proximal leg with one hand and distal leg with other
- Rotate hands in opposite directions to determine torsional laxity vs. restriction (name for hand closest to foot)
- Slowly rotate leg into position of laxity and apply compression or traction
- Hold until tissue release is completed
- Retest
Hip MFR (indirect)
- Hold ankles with arms relaxed
- Slowly move both legs to identify positions of laxity
- Lean backwards to apply traction
- Follow tissue release
- Retest
Hip MFR (direct)
- Flex hip and knee at 90
- internally and externally rotate to test restriction
- Move into restriction and hold through tissue release
- Retest
