TSP - CONDITIONS - RIB FRACTURE
Hx - sharp, local pain following trauma or prolonged cough
S&S - Palpable crepitus, possible oedema and/or discolouration, pain with chest motion
DDx - supraspinatus rupture, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear
TSP - CONDITIONS - RIB SUBLUXATION
Hx - sharp local pain on near spine with inspiration
S&S - palpatory tenderness & local myospasm
DDx - joint play & passive ROM
TSP - ORTHO TESTS - ADAM’S TEST
- Pt standing
- Examiner observes for rib hump when patient attempts to touch toes
TSP - ORTHO TESTS - ADAM’S TEST - POSITIVE TEST
Scoliosis
- Abnormal rib hump on one side
TSP - ORTHO TESTS - ADAM’S TEST - SN & SP
SN: 92
SP: 60
TSP - ORTHO TESTS - STERNAL COMPRESSION TEST
- Pt supine
- Examiner applies slow gentle downward force on the sternum and observes pt for signs of discomfort
TSP - ORTHO TEST - STERNAL COMPRESSION TEST - POSITIVE TEST
Rib fracture
- Lateral rib border pain
Costochondritis
- Costosternal junction pain
TSP - ORTHO TEST - KEMP’S TEST
- Pt seated
- Examiner stabilises lumbar spine with one hand and supports pt shoulders with the other hand and forearm
- Pt leans away from examiner (stretch)
- Pt then flexes forward (stretch)
- Pt then back into lateral flexion and extension (compression)
