How to perform Pectoralis Minor Asymmetry and Passive Range of Motion Testing for Muscle Imbalance?
- Pt lies supine and doc stabilizes shoulder of side not being tested
- Doc applies a posteriorly directed force against the shoulder being testing and notes PROM and end-feel; repeat on other side
- (+) test = diminished PROM of one side compared to the other and/or hard end-feel
Where is the TP for the Scalenes and what is correct position for tx?
- Inferior to the clavicle 1/3rd the distance from midline along the clavicle on the 1st rib and 2/3s the distance from the midline along the clavicle on the 2nd rib
- F ST RT
How to perform CS to Levator Scapula?
Monitor TP and with other hand on pt’s ipsilateral wrist the doc extends the arm and places it under traction or compression depending on which give greatest relief
How to perform the Levator Scalulae Still-ish technique?
- Pt sitting w/ doc standing behind pt. Start by ABducting the pt’s arm to 180°
- Provide distraction, ADduction to 90° and finally to 0°
- Have pt grab the back of table, while doc flexes head toward opposite knee
- 3 deep breaths and follow fascial release
