Q

Which ribs have bucket handle motion?

A

ALL of them, though predominantly ribs 6-10.

17
Q

Bucket handle ribs motion is analogous to what typical motions?

A

Abduction/adduction

18
Q

Which ribs have caliper rib motion? What typical movement are caliper ribs analogous to?

A

ALL OF THEM! (all ribs have all motions) They move like an ice tongs (internal/external rotation)

19
Q

What does “PUMP water into a BUCKET and lift the bucket with CALIPERS mean?

A

Mnemonic to remember the order of predominance motion.

20
Q

Rib 1 is characterized by what motions?

A

50% pump / 50% bucket

21
Q

Ribs 6-10 are predominantly characterized by what motions?

A

Bucket Handle

22
Q

What type of restriction is an inhalation somatic dysfunction?

A

an exhalation restriction

23
Q

What type of restriction is an exhalation somatic dysfunction?

A

inhalation restriction

24
Q

True or False: Assessment of rib dysfunctions are done only statically.

A

False. Assessment of rib dysfunctions are done statically and dynamically.

25
Q

Static assessment is assessed as being what?

A

prominent/recessed and tender

26
Q

Pump handle assessment of rib dysfunction will result in the rib being ______ on the front of the chest with the ______ border being prominent on the front of the chest and ________ on the back of the chest.

A

Pump handle assessment of rib dysfunction will result in the rib being _prominant_____ on the front of the chest with the __inferior____ border being prominent on the front of the chest and ____recessed____ on the back of the chest.

27
Q

When assessing for bucket handle rib motion, inhaled ribs will be what laterally?

A

more prominent laterally

28
Q

When assessing for bucket handle rib motion, exhaled ribs will be what laterally?

A

more recessed laterally

29
Q

True or false: Lack of rib motion infers the side of dominance?

A

True. side of dominance = side of dysfunction

30
Q

True or False: A rib dysfunction is conclusively determined by dynamic motion assessment.

A

True

31
Q

In an inhalation somatic dysfunction, the anterior end of single or multiple ribs move in what direction on exhalation?

A

Nowhere! it’s restricted on exhalation.

32
Q

In an exhalation somatic dysfunction, the anterior end of single or multiple ribs move in what direction on exhalation?

A

caudal on exhalation

33
Q

When you push down on the right first rib, you notice resistance to springing and a slight elevation compared to the opposite side. In a dynamic test, it does not move inferiorly on exhalation. What somatic dysfunction do you have?

A

Inhalation somatic dysfunction of the right first rib.

34
Q

When you statically test a patient’s right first rib, it is depressed compared to the other side. What would you notice during the dynamic test if this side had an exhalation somatic dysfunction?

A

No resistance to springingMoves inferiorly on exhalation; no superioer movement on inhalation
