16
Q

How do you diagnose the “key rib”?

A

First by group, then finding the “key rib”

17
Q

When diagnosing a locked up rib, where do you start looking?

A

Start inferiorly

18
Q

When diagnosing a locked down rib, where do you start looking?

A

Start superiorly

19
Q

During what phase of respiration are locked up ribs diagnosed?

A

exhalation

20
Q

During what phase of respiration are locked down ribs diagnosed?

A

inhalation

21
Q

How do you assess for the pump handle ribs (1-5 ribs)?

A

Fingers along the sternal border of ribs 1-5

Respire and id the key rib

22
Q

How do you assess the bucket handle ribs?

A

Fingers spread out so as to be in contact with ribs along the mid axillary line

23
Q

How do you diagnose the caliper ribs?

A

Place hands laterally on the lower rib cage in the mid axillary line

24
Q

For which ribs (or rib motion type) do you not need to identify the “key rib”?

A

Caliper ribs (11-12)

25
Q

What is the tender point for a locked up rib?

A

Posteriorly, or at the rib angle

26
Q

What is the tender point for a locked down rib?

A

Anteriorly, or at the mid axillary line

27
Q

What is the tender point for a locked up or down rib on rib 11 or 12? What should you “treat”?

A

TTP at rib 11 or 12, treat the QL

28
Q

For boards, what are “locked up” ribs called?

A

Inhalation SD

Exhalation restriction

29
Q

For boards, what are “locked down” ribs called?

A

Exhalation SD

Inhalation restriction

30
Q

WIth is the treatment protocol for ribs?

A
  1. Find tender point and treat
  2. Re-evaluate
  3. ME
  4. reevaluate
  5. HV/LA
31
Q

What is significant about a rib that has both a rib angle, and mid-axillary tender point?

A

It is severely strained (from whiplash type accident)

32
Q

For boards, the anterior tender points are found where?

A

Anterior axillary line

33
Q

Where is the rib 1 tender point?

A

On the first rib in the anterior axillary (DMU=mid clavicular) line

34
Q

Where is the rib 2 tender point?

A

On the second rib in the anterior axillary (DMU=mid clavicular) line

35
Q

Where are the tender points for ribs 3-6?

A

In the anterior axillary line (mid-axillary line for DMU), on each rib or intercostal space
