Thoracic Spine & Ribs Intervention Flashcards
What does thoracic manipulation do?
Increases shoulder range of motion
Reduces disability
Reduces pain
Improvements in pressure pain threshold
What adverse effects can happen with thrust manipulations?
Headache
Stiffness
Worsening of presenting symptoms
Radiating discomfort
Fatigue
* trauma to spinal cord
* pneumothorax
Why do we do thoracic CPAs?
To restore segmental mobility of the thoracic spine
What ICF Category is thoracic CPAs associated with?
Back pain with mobility deficits
Why do we do thoracic UPAs?
To restore segmental mobility of the thoracic spine
What ICF Category is thoracic UPAs associated with?
Back pain with mobility deficits
Why do we do a seated thoracic distraction (thrust or non-thrust)
To improve cervical and thoracic spine mobility deficits
To alleviate associated pain
What ICF category is associated with seated thoracic distraction (thrust or non-thrust)
Back pain with mobility deficits
Why do we do thoracic extension SNAG mobilizations
To decrease pain and improve segmental mobility
What ICF category is associated with thoracic extension SNAG mobilization?
Thoracic pain with mobility deficits
Why do we do a seated CT junction distraction manipulation
To improve cervical and thoracic spine mobility deficits
To alleviate associated pain
What ICF category is associated with a seated CT junction distraction manipulation?
