what happens to the facet joints when you flex and rotate to the left –> costovertebral joint

A

everything opens

right side opens

19
Q

costotransverse joint

A

plane synovial joint

20
Q

how is the costotransverse joint formed

A

articulation of costal tubercle on the rib with the costal facet of the transverse process

21
Q

how is the costotransverse joint strengthened

A

3 major ligaments

22
Q

costo-sternal joint

A

ribs 1-7 articulate with costal cartilages

which then articulate with the manubriosternal at the costosternal joint

23
Q

costo-sternal joints of ribs 2-7

A

synovial

divided by intra articular ligaments (like CV joint)

24
Q

manubriosternal joint

A

synchondrosis

has a fibrocartilaginous disk b/w manubrium and sternum

25
Q

where does movement at the rib occur

A

xiphisternal joint

26
Q

rib motion associated w/ flexion

A

internal torsion

27
Q

rib motion associated w/ extension

A

external torsion

28
Q

breathing in the upper ribs

A

pump handle motion

29
Q

breathing in the middle to lower ribs

A

bucket handle motion

30
Q

breathing in ribs 11-12

A

caliper motion

31
Q

first rib AROM

A

C/S rotation, SB

shoulder ABD

32
Q

1st rib during breathing

A

upper/middle/lower

33
Q

how do we ID dysfxn in the TS and costal cage

A

what they tell us

visually type 1, kyphosis, scap

AROM testing (including breathing)

PIVMT testing (overpressure)

spring tests - accessory motion

C/S HNP

35
Q

dx related to tx of tspine (2)

A

37
Q

PIVMT

A

palpate interspinous for opening/closing with flexion/extension

palpate TP for further opening/closing

38
Q

thoracic springs –> PIVMT

A

springing on the joint/spinous process as the pt is in prone

39

decision trees for eval and intervention

A

components 1-4

40
Q

component 1 –> decision trees for eval and intervention

A

initial observation

concerns for problems/stories

41
Q

component 2 –> decision trees for eval and intervention

A

determine irritability levels (high, moderate, low)

42
