arm neutral
90 abduction
full elevation
Muscle tests scapula - anterior loading
double arm
single arm
Sensorimotor Test - joint position
Sensorimotor Test - balance

PAIVM unilateral PA cervical spine (rx.)
Upslope - superior level, painful side, promotes contralateral rotation
Downslope - inferior level, painful side, promotes ipsilateral rotation
PAIVM cervical side glide peripheral somatic pain (rx.)
head does not move
done on superior level
promote right side bending = left side glide = push form right to left
PAIVM cervical side glide neurogenic pain patient (rx.)
head moves as well
superior level
promote IVF opening on the painful side - push away from that side
put into IVF opening - flexion and rotation away
PAIVM unilateral AP (rx.)
flexion = inferior level
rotation - contralateral side
To promote flexion and right rotation = inferior level on the left side
PAIVM central PA upper thoracic spine (rx.)
Stand at their head
heel of hand
PAIVM central PA middle thoracic spine (rx.)
screw technique
on each transverse process (1.5 levels above)
PAIVM central PA lower thoracic spine (rx.)
c-grip
PAIVM unilateral PA thoracic spine (rx.)
with elbow over their transverse process upper and lower = 1 above middle - 1.5 above inferior level = extension ipsilateral side = rotation to that side
PAIVM transverse pressure thoracic spine (rx.)
applied with elbow to the side of the spinous process
PAIVM caudal pressure first rib (rx.)
PPIVM upslope cervical spine (rx.)
pain on side opposite to direction rotating
done on the superior level
PPIVM downslope cervical spine (rx.)
done on the superior level
for pain one same side as direction rotating
PPIVM rotation thoracic spine (rx.)
PPIVM extension thoracic spine (rx.)
MWM cervical flexion (rx.)
superior level
MWM cervical rotation (rx.)
superior level upslope - on painful side, get them to rotate away from you
inferior level downslope - on painful side, get them to rotate towards you

through range under flexion load - end range hold and through range
through range under extension load - through full range
through range under flexion load - end range hold with UCS flexion/extension
Control it rotation under flexion load (rx.)
in prone - on elbows
Retraining scapula muscle performance posterior loading (rx.) (five)
