OPP Practical 3 Flashcards
What is the first step in soft tissue techniques
evaluate for tart changes
What techniques for soft tissue are parallel ?
Cervical cradling with traction, cervical forwardbending with bilateral fulcrum, thoracic bilateral thumb pressure, thoracic prone pressure with counter pressure,
What techniques for soft tissue are perpendicular ?
thoracic prone pressure,cervical contralateral traction
what is the cervical-levator scapulae self stretch
1) sit on edge of table closest to side your stretching
2) hold edge o table
3) flex, and then sidebend and rotate head away
4) place hand on top of head and lean away, don’t pull neck
5) 10-15 seconds repeating 3-5 times
(you can contract the lower trapezius muscle on the same size to enhance the stretch
what is the thoracic paraspinal self stretch
1) sit on edge of table
2) feet apart TOUCHING floor
3) intertwine hands
4) straighten arms
5) bend forward to stretch thoracic and scapular areas
What is the lumbar quadratus lumoborum self stretch
1) stand feet apart
2) raid arm of side being stretched overhead
3) shift pelvis towards side being stretched and side bend trunk away from side being stretched
4) hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat 2-3 times
name the four cervical soft tissue techniques
1) cervical cradling with traction
2) cervical contralateral traction
3) suboccpital release
4) cervical forward bending with bilateral fulcrum
What are the 3 thoracic soft tissue techniques
1) thoracic bilateral thumb pressure
2) prone pressure
3) prone pressure with counter pressure
What is the lumbar soft tissue technique
lumbar prone pressure with counter leverage
What should you do after you do a soft tissue technqiue
reacess and ask patient how it feels

sternal notch
t4
sternal angle/ angle of louis
t9
xiphoid process
l3 and l4 interspace
umbillicus
shoulder girdle is

boundary for thoracic inlet
manubrium
1st ribs
T1
clinically thoracic inlet is
t1-t4
ribs 1 and 2
manubrium
What is the rules of 3’s
t1-3 same plane as TP of each vertebrae
t4-6 halfway between TP and TP below it
T7-T9 tip of SP om a plane with TP of vertebrae below it
T10-T12- similar to T9 and T12 similar to T1
which ribs are true
1-7
which ribs are false
8-12
which ribs are floating

what ribs are typical
3-10
what ribs are atypical
1, 2,11,and 12
type of motion associated with rib 1
50 bucket, 50 pump
