Q

Diagnose the Scapulothoracic region?

what treatment will you do?

A

Downward rotation, the joint is looking downwards but the wing abducts

Upward rotation

Elevation by trapezius

Depression by trapezius and rhomboids

Protraction is bringing it forward

Retraction

Forward tilt and backward tilt

Indirect or Direct MFR (have the affected side on up, facing the patient. contact the scapula posteriorly with both hands, assess ease and restrictions of the 6 motions

Stack barriers indirectly or directly for MFR –> apply, wait for tissue release, reassess.

Q

Diagnose the Glenohumoral joint:

Direct treatment

Indirect

A

this is with classic ROM

MET –>

for flexion/extension, IR/ER, AB/ADduction

find if they’re more restricted in something.

bring them to their restriction, and have them go opposite.

3-5x, 3-5s until no new barriers.

INDIRECT MFR

Q

Diagnose the Acromioclavicular Joint:

Direct Treatment

A

1) clavicle on acromion –> look for asymmetry and springing. if it likes to spring = inferior clavicle, if not = superior clavicle.
2) ER and IR with hand at the AC joint, feeling any difference of rotation. –> MET

Q

Diagnose the SC Joint:

Direct Treatment

A

Shrugging shoulders (sc moves downwards) = Abduction

arms back down = Adduction

Protraction (arms up to the ceiling) = Flexion (goes into body)

Retraction (arms from ceiling back down) = Extension

Direct –>

(ARTICULATORY –> adducted, have them exhale and push clavicle inferiorly…. abducted

Extended MET–> flex arm into shoulder –> contact scapula and have it go into protraction –> apply posterior force, and have them extend into your shoulder.
