Q

what is limited in the upper thoracic spine and why

A

flexion/extension

T1-7 facets lie more in the frontal plane

22
Q

where do lower facets lie

A

more in sagittal plane

allows more flexion/extension

23
Q

2 main features differentiating from lumbar/cervical spine

A

facets for rib attachments

TPs have thickened ends for articulation w/ costal tubs

24
Q

T3 landmark

A

scapular spine

25
Q

T5 landmark

A

mid scapular spine

26
Q

T7 landmark

A

level of inferior angle

27
Q

T1-T3 spinous processes

A

project posteriorly

lie direction at level with their corresponding TPs

28
Q

thoracic rule of 3s –> T1-T3

A

spinous processes on same level of TPs

29
Q

thoracic rule of 3s –> T4-T6

A

spinous process is half a level down from TPs

30
Q

thoracic rule of 3s –> T7-T9

A

spinous process is one level down from TPs

31
Q

thoracic rule of 3s –> T10

A

spinous process is 1 level down from TPs

32
Q

thoracic rule of 3s –> T11

A

spinous process is half a level down from TP

33
Q

thoracic rule of 3s –> T12

A

spinous process at same level of TP

34
Q

thoracic facet/zygapophyseal joints

A

facet joint capsules of the thoracic are tighter than cervical region

35
Q

superior facet –> thoracic facet/zygapophyseal joints

A

slightly convex

36
Q

inferior facet –> thoracic facet/zygapophyseal joints

A

slightly concave

37
Q

arthrokinematics of flexion

A

overturning, translation, compression anterior

distraction posterior

facets open

38
Q

arthrokinematics of extension

A

overturning, translation and compression posterior

distraction anterior

facets close

39
Q

freyette’s laws

A

1-3

40
Q

freyettes law –> 1

A

in neutral

SB to one side will be accompanied by rotation to the opposite side

41
Q

freyettes law –> 2

A

in a flexed/extended position (non-neutral)

SB to one side will be accompanied by rotation to the same side

42
Q

freyettes law –> 3

A

when motion is introduced in one plane

it will reduce motion in the other two planes

43
Q

upper T/S –> mechanics

A

T 1-3, ~4

type 2 rule only

SB and rotation to the same side

44
Q

middle-lower T/S –> mechanics

A

T4 down

type 1 and 2

non-neutral: SB and Rot same side

neutral…

45
Q

neutral –>middle-lower T/S –> mechanics

A

when SB first, rotation is opposite (latextion)

rotation first and SB is to the same side (rotexion)

46
Q

thoracic musculature

A

needs to contract bilaterally for extension

47
Q

thoracic muscles

A

iliocostalis

longissimus

spinalis

semispinalis

rotatores

diaphragm

intercostalis

48
Q

thoracic neurology

A

anterior divisions of thoracic nerves

12 in number on either side

49
Q

nerve 11 –> thoracic neurology

A

runs between the ribs and are termed intercostal nerves

50
Q

where does the 12th nerve lie

A

below the 12th rib

51
Q

what is there none of –> thoracic neurology

A

plexus formation
