2=partial clearing of the scapulae

1=palpate contraction and look for ribs to depress

116
Q

what is the MMT for the serratus anterior?

A

arm up in 130 deg flex

resist patient pushing up

normal grading scale

117
Q

what is the MMT for the rhomboids?

A

in prone with arm behind the back and lift hand off the back

add resistance to the distal forearm

resistance is down and out

palpate in the medial scapular border

5-finger pops out of the medial border

4-tolerates mod resistance and finger may get pushed out a little but not as much as a 5

3-lift off actively and scap retracts

2-support arm, try to lift hand off back and scap moves actively all the way through

1- palpating the contraction with no visible movement

118
Q

what is the MMT for the lower and mid traps?

A

140 deg scaption

GM: prone with support under the arm

max resistance distal to the elbow-5

mod distal to the elbow-4

max resistance proximal to the elbow-4

119
Q

what is the MMT for the lats?

A

resistance at the forearm in prone

arm straight at the side

resistance anterior and lateral as pt tries to lift arm up and in

normal grading scale

use yoga blocks and have pt lift their body up using upper body
- full range-5
- partial range-4
- less range-3

120
Q

what is the MMT for shoulder flexion?

A

give resistance proximal to the elbow

arm straight out in front

GM=sidelying, move arm through flexion range

normal grading scale

121
Q

what is the MMT for shoulder extension?

A

prone

arm at the side

IR

lift arm up to the ceiling and give resistance

testing lats, teres major, post delt, triceps

resistance in straight sagittal plane just pushing straight down

resistance above the elbow

normal grading scale

122
Q

what is the MMT for shoulder abduction?

A

lift arm over head in neutral rotation in sitting

have to have some deg of external rotation to avoid impingement

gravity minimized: supine and lift to at least 90 deg

tests the delts and supraspinatus

normal grading scale

123
Q

what is the MMT for horizontal abduction?

A

prone

push down with arm to side and elbow flexed to 90 deg

GM: in sitting hold arm out to side and have them pull their elbow back towards you

normal grading scale

124
Q

what is the MMT for the pec major/shoulder horizontal adduction?

A

resist above the elbow pulling out when pt pulls in

sternal-120 deg abduction and pull down and across to opposite hip – out and up resistance

clavicular-60 deg abduction and pull across and up - down and out to resist

GM: sitting and support the arm and ask pt to pull their arm across

normal grading scale

125
Q

what is the MMT for the rotator cuff?

A

arm to side, elbow flexed to 90 deg

IR and ER

GM: neutral pro/sup in sitting with supported arm on table; just have them move arm in and out
