Treatments Flashcards
Inhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 1
- pt supine; physician at head of table
- MCP of index finger contacts superior surface of rib
- pt’s head gently flexed, ST and RA
- pt inhales -> prevent motion
- pt exhales -> exaggerate motion down into rib
Inhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 2-6
- pt supine, physician’s knee on table underneath pt’s upper thoracic area (on dysfunctional side); only need to flex head for 2-3
- pt’s body sidebend towards rib until tension take off of it
- thumb and index finger placed on intercostal space above rib (try to grab as much of rib as possible)
- pt inhales -> prevent motion
- pt exhales -> exaggerate motion down into rib
Inhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 7-10
- pt supine, physician at side of dysfunctional rib
- abduct pt’s shoulder and place thumb on superior surface of dysfunctional rib
- pt inhales -> prevent motion
- pt exhales -> exaggerate motion down into rib and sidebend pt towards rib w/ each breath
Inhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 11-12
- pt prone and physician on opposite side
- sidebend pt’s legs towards rib (C-shape)
- place thenar eminence under affected rib
- pull pt’s hip up to relax quadratus lumbrorum
- pt inhales -> prevent motion
- pt exhales -> exaggerate motion superior and laterally
Exhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 1-2
- pt supine and physician on opposite side
- pt rotates head 30 degrees away from rib and places hand on forehead
- physician reaches around to grab rib
- pt inhales -> holds breath -> pushes head into hand while you resist
- pt exhales and relaxes -> you pull inferiorly on rib
Exhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 3-5
- pt supine w/ physician on opposite side
- reach behind and find rib and put pt’s hand above their head
- put hand on pt’s elbow
- pt inhales -> holds breath -> pushes elbow into your hand while you resist
- pt exhales and relaxes -> you pull inferiorly on rib
Exhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 6-8
- pt supine w/ physician on same side
- place hand under pt on superior surface of rib
- place pt’s arm on top of them w/ elbow flexed and pointed upwards
- pt inhales -> holds breath -> pushes elbow into your hand (up to ceiling) while you resist
- pt exhales and relaxes -> you pull inferiorly on rib
Exhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 9-10
- pt supine w/ physician on same side
- place hand under pt on superior surface of rib
- abduct pt’s arm and place hand on pt’s elbow
- pt inhales -> holds breath -> pushes elbow into your hand (adducting arm) while you resist
- pt exhales and relaxes -> you pull inferiorly on rib
Exhalation Dysfunction MET/ART - Rib 11-12
- pt prone and physician standing on opposite side
- sidebend pt’s legs away from rib (C-shape towards you)
- stabilize the rib above the one you’re treating w/ thenar eminence
- pull pt’s hip down towards feet
- pt inhales -> holds breath and pulls hip up to head
- pt relaxes and exhales -> pull hand caudally
Anterior Innominate MET/ART - supine
- flex pt’s hip and knee to barrier (induces posterior rotation)
- pt extends hip while you resist
Anterior Innominate MET/ART - prone
- flex pt’s leg off table and place foot on your thigh
- pt extends hip while you resist
Posterior Innominate MET/ART - supine
- stabilize pt’s opposite ASIS
- extend pt’s leg off side of table to barrier (lock around pt’s leg to prevent it from dangling)
- pt flexes hip and you resist
Posterior Innominate MET/ART - prone
- stabilize pt’s opposite PSIS
- extend pt’s leg up
- pt flexes leg back to table and you resist
Superior Innominate Shear MET/ART
- grasp tib/fib just above the ankle
- internally rotate and abduct leg
- lean back and tell pt to pull hip towards shoulder while you resist
Inferior Innominate Shear MET/ART
- rest pt’s foot on thigh
- internally rotate and abduct leg
- lean forward and tell pt to push leg towards your thigh while you resist
Outflare Innominate MET/ART
- pt supine with you on opposite side
- flex dysfunctional leg over opposite leg
- put one hand on outside of flexed knee and other on same PSIS of knee
- adduct hip to restrictive barrier
- tell pt to push knee out towards your hand while you resist
Inflare Innominate MET/ART
- pt supine with you on opposite side
- flex dysfunctional leg over opposite leg
- put one hand on inside of flexed knee and other on contralateral ASIS of knee
- abduct hip to restrictive barrier
- tell pt to push knee towards hand while you resist
Unilaterally Extended Sacrum MET/ART
- monitor SI joint and abduct leg until motion is felt at joint
- externally rotate leg
- place heel of hand on sacral base on dysfunctional side (fingers facing down)
- pt inhales -> resist motion
- pt exhales -> exaggerate motion anterior/inferior
