What is the goal of passive lymphatic techniques?
Mobilize lymph and increase circulation
What are some characteristics of LN in diseased states?
Fixed, enlarged, growing together, hard, non-tender
What results from a dysfunctional lymphatic system?
Edema
What does Virchow’s node indicate?
Thoracic or abdominal malignancy
What does a hardened supratrochlear node indicate?
Syphillis
What should you always do before treating the lymphatic system?
Open the thoracic inlet
At end of tx too
What is the correct order of lymphatic tx?
Open thoracic inlet, region 1 (thoracic) region 2 (abdomen) region 3 and 4 (treat worst first), region 5 (head and neck) and end with thoracic inlet
What are the lymph organs/tissues
Spleen, liver, thymus, tonsils, appendix, GI lymph tissue, pulm lymph tissue
What are some contraindications to lymphatic txs?
early carcinoma, metastatic CA, bacterial infection fever over 102 without Abs, osseous fracture, abscess
Abdominal pumping rate?
20-30 cycles/mn
Thoracic pumping rate?
100 cycles/mn
Pedal pumping rate?
100 cycles/mn, look for fluid wave for checking movement of nose
Where does palm contact sacrum during sacral rocking?
sacral base
Which lymphatic tx has you contact the TMJ and ramus of the mandible
Galbraith’s technique/mandibular technique
What 4 muscles make up rotator cuff group?
SITS
Four joints of the shoulder
Glenohumeral, AC, SC, scapulothoracic
Movements seen at the clavicle during SC joint abduction
Abduction (shrugging shoulders upward)
Distal end of clavicle moves superiorly and proximal end moves inferiorly
Movement at SC during flexion
Flexion (reaching forward) - distal end of clavicle moves ant and prox end moves post on the sternum
Muscles involved in protraction and retraction of scapula?
Protraction (away from spine) - serratus anterior
Retraction (towards the spine) - trapezius, rhomboids
Most likely type of shoulder dislocation?
Anterior
Muscle tested in drop arm test?
Supraspinatus
complete drop of the arm means a complete tear of muscle, partial drop = partial tear
Which muscle strength testing ratings involve gravity?
3-5 keep gravity alive
Which muscle strength test involves the pt internally rotating and adducting the arm?
Lift off test for subscapularis
Which muscles allow you to abduct your arm?
First 15 degrees - supraspinatus
After 15 - deltoid
