53
Q

t spine coupled movements

A

T4-T8

if rotate first then rotation and sidebending happen together same side

(if sidebend first then opposite side from rotation)

(T1-T4 same as fyettte = engaged same side)

57
Q

All ribs have both pump handle and pump motions

where each dominate?

A

upper ribs–more pump handle (AP)

lower ribs-more bucker handle -lateral aspect of rib move superiorly

THIS IS DUE TO THE AXIS OF THE COSTOVERTEBRAL TO THE COSTOTRANSVERSE ARTICULATION

Q

Where can we get impingement in TOS? 3

A

Interscalene triangle: anterior and medial scalene and rib 1 (ADSON)

Costoclavicular space: clavicle and rib 1 (COSTOCLAVICULAR MANEUVER)

Neurovascular bundle passes beneath coracoid process and tendon of pec minor (HYPERABDUCTION MANEUVER)

66
Q

Adson

A

for TOS
narrow Interscalene triangle: anterior and medial scalene and rib 1

1) monitor pulse
2) extend and ER UE passively (hand is in tennis forearm position )
3) pt looks at hand
4) deep breath

record sx and change in pulse

also turn head other way

67
Q

Costoclavicular maneuver

A

TOS
Costoclavicular space: clavicle and rib 1

  • pt sit
  • arms at side
  • monitor radial pulse
  • shoulder retracted and depressed + position exagerated military posture

record change and reproduce sx

68
Q

Hyperabduction Maneuver

A

= wrights maneuver

compress’Neurovascular bundle passes beneath coracoid process and tendon of PEC minor

  1. pt seated
  2. monitor radial pulse
  3. pt arms at 145 degrees abduction withs slight extension
  4. record pulse change and sx
69
Q

Roos East Test

A

elevated arm stress test

test for VASCULAR INSUFFICIENCY

pt seated
abduct arms to 90 degrees
externally rotate shoulders and flex elbows to 90 degrees

pt open and close hands slowly 3 minutes

+ = ischemic pain, heavy arms, numb and tingle hands

70
Q

Disc Herniation

A

be traumatic or degenerative

asymptomatic people have thoracic disc protrusion: so interpret MRI results guardedly

Dural stretch may be positive—positive kerning if high enough, positive slump test

get rid of inflammation as much as can, then decrease symptoms as can ie extension or flexion or sideglide as in McKenzie technique

Incidence : T7/T8 –> T6/T7 –> T8/T9

Symptoms:
1. Anterior chest pain
2. Interscapular, epigastric and LE pain
3. Pain may increase with deep breathing and coughing /pain with valsalva
4. Muscle spasms, muscle weakness, decrease ROM
(There may be guarding

71
Q

Schuermann’s Disease

A

= vertebral osteochondritis or juvenile kyphosis

Degeneration of bone resulting in structural sagittal plane kyphosis in thoracic or thoracolumbar spine

growth spurt in adolescents age 12-16 years

Excessive thoracic kyphosis with wedging of 5 degrees or more in at least three adjacent vertebrae with vertebral end plate irregularities

X-ray findings: All of these things mess up the mechanics of the joint
1. Anterior wedging VB
2. Irregularities of vertebral end plates
3. Schmorl’s nodes
a. See it on the xray
Decreased IV disc space heights

72
Q

Scoliosis

A

Name the curve by the side of the convexity: Forward bending test because the spinous process will go to the side of the concavity and bodies to side of convexity, push ribs backwards so on visual view as person bends down see a rib hump.

Structural scoliosis is a fixed lateral curve with a rotational component

  • *common structural scoliosis is called idiopathic
  • *congenital anomalies, neuromuscular, disease, trauma

Nonstructural scoliosis also called functional or reversible lateral curve without rotation (look this up)
**poor posture or compensation to musculoskeletal imbalances

  1. May develop cardiopulmonary symptoms (curves greater than 40 degrees) with reduced vital capacity and decreased pulmonary function
73
Q

Nonstructural scoliosis

A

Nonstructural scoliosis also called functional or reversible lateral curve without rotation (look this up)

74
Q

Structural scoliosis

A

Structural scoliosis is a fixed lateral curve with a rotational component

75
Q

Cervical Point of the back

A

localized area of tenderness T5/T6 (2cm from line of spinous process)

Referred from C5/C6, C6/C7 or C7/T1

Presents as thoracic pain of postural origin
Feel better when they lie down, when correct their posture

  1. Facets usually tender on same side as thoracic pain

Treat cervical spine !!

76
Q

T4 Syndrome

A

Decreased mobility of upper thoracic segments, especially T4 = Decreased mobility of upper thoracic segments, especially T4

  1. Glove paresthesia (long or short)
    It doesn’t match dermatome, it is from the sympathetic
  2. May have vascular symptoms like hot or cold hands, swelling
  3. Non-dermatomal patterns of pain in UE: sympathetic nerve involvement
  4. Neck, upper thoracic pain, headache in cap of head
  5. Symptoms start in the morning and get worse, especially with poor posture
  6. Symptoms may interrupt sleep

**1. Positive neurodynamic tests

  1. Treatment of choice is to mobilize the affected segment (T4) followed by posture and movement reeducation
77
Q

Thoracic Hypomobility

A

a. stiffness in thoracic spine ie MVA, hit with football, a fall and hit head and back: decreased mobility and PIVM, postural changes, look and see if ribs changes as well
1. Onset secondary to trauma, degenerative joint changes, decreased movement thoracic cage, or immobility

  1. decreased mobility with AROM and or PIVMT
  2. Postural Changes
  3. Decreased Chest expansion: rib changes
  4. General loss of extension and rotation
    Tight/painful paravertebral muscles in affected area
78
Q

Thoracic Facet Dysfunction

A

a. impaired mobility, it will make sense if facet affected, decreased mobility at specific segment, ribs may also be affected and must be assessed in addition to assessing the facet joints
1. Relatively common
2. Associated with rib dysfunction
3. Localized symptoms
4. Movement impairments
5. Decreased joint play facet and rib

  1. Symptoms with respiration
  2. Quicker and more robust movements to the ribs ie on a jog feel the pain in addition to the impact by loading the joint
  3. Pain may be present in anterior chest wall
  4. Pain may refer around the rib to sternalcostal junction or costochondral junction may be tender as well

Treat with mobilizations

79
Q

Ankylosing Spondylitis

A
  1. Low back and thoracic pain
  2. Everything stiffens up
  3. Collagen issue
  4. Not relieved with lying supine
  5. Worse with rest, better with activity
  6. Morning stiffness
  7. History of collagen disease in family
  8. Age of onset
80
Q

Treat TOS

A

cannot just be the opposite of the test because we need to respect the nerve and the musculature

  1. Adson positive: (scalene) Soft tissue work to get the muscles more elastic (stretching increases the symptoms)
  2. Costoclavicular Maneuver positive: (rib 1 and clavicle) Mobilize rib #1, mobilize SC and AC joints, exercises, deep breathing so upper rib cage is mobilizing, soft tissue work and open up area around scalene as well
  3. Hyperabduction test positive: (pectoralis minor) soft tissue work of pec major and pec minor, get under there, clear the landmarks going around the border of the pec minor and get through tissue deeply get into region and mobilize, can move the middle ribs where pec minor fibers attach ie big breathes. Later can do stretches for better flow to the extremity.
