Sternum/Clavicle Flashcards
parts of sternum
manubrium
body (gladiolus)
xiphoid (tail)
angle of louis
aka sternal angle
synchondrosis btwn manubrium and gladiolus
attachment of rib 2
T4 level
pericardium attachments
manubrium and xyphoid
acromicoclavicular joint
important for should motion/range
cresent shaped planar joint
ligaments crucial for stability (coracoclavicular lig)
manubrium ossification time
6 mo gestation
sternal center ossification time
7 mo gestation (1 year postnatal complete)
xiphoid ossification time
5 - 18 years
sternoclavicular motion
abduction (external rotation)
adduction (internal rotation)
horizontal flexion
acromioclavicular motions
rotation
abduction (sup/inf)
sternum motions
flex/extend, rotation, sidebending
sternum diagnosis
manubrium opp body in R, S
place one hand on body, one on manubrium and test for flex/extension, rotation, sidebending
sternum treatment
P: supine; Dr on side one hand on manubrium other on body
A: motion test and exaggerate dirrestly or indirectly
T: hold 30-60 s; reassess
clavicle diagnosis
named for ease of motion @ acromioclavicular joint P: supine flexion: AC joint moves anteriorly extension: AC joint moves posteriorly internal vs external rotation abduction: AC moves superiorly adduction: AC moves inferiorly
clavicle flexion dysfunction - Tx
P: pt supine, arm toward ceiling
A: extend clavicle to barrier, pt flex
T: hold 3-5 s, repeat 3-5x
F: final stretch, relax, return, reassess
clavicle extension dysfunction - Tx
P: pt supine, arm toward ceiling
A: flex clavicle to barrier, pt extend
T: hold 3-5 s, repeat 3-5x
F: final stretch, relax, return, reassess
