clavicle/scapula
clavicle and scapula comp posit. and eval.
Question | Answer |
---|---|
AP scapula patient position | abduct arm 90 degrees to body and bend elbow. TOF 2” above shoulder |
Respirations for AP scapula | breathing technique |
CR entry AP scapula | perpendicular to the mid-scapula, entering 2” inferior to the coracoids |
Eval criteria AP scapula | lateral aspect free of superimposition, scapula horizontal and not oblique, scapula seen though lung, acromion to inferior angle |
Lateral scapula patient position | RAO or LAO, 45-60 degree rotation to IR. Arm in appropriate position |
arm position for the acromion and coracoid in a lateral scapula | flex elbow and place hand on posterior thoax |
arm position for scapular body in a lateral scapula | pt. grasps other shoulder or abducts arm placing forearm on head. |
Lateral scapula respirations | suspend |
CR entry for lateral scapula | perpendicular entering the mid media border |
Eval criteria lateral scapula | medial and lateral borders superimposed, body free of superimposition from ribs, no superimposition of humerus, acromion to inferior angle included, lateral thickness of scapula with proper density |
Respiration for AP clavicle | suspend on exhalation for uniform density |
CR entry for an AP clavicle | perpendicular entering the midshaft |
Eval criteria AP clavicle | entire clavicle centered, uniform density, lateral half of clavicle above scapula (medial aspect superimposed over thorax) |
AP axial lordotic clavicle pt position | with clavicle centered and pt 1 foot in front of IR, pt leans backwards onto bucky. |
CR entry and angulation for AP axial lordotic clavicle | 0-15 degrees cephalad entering midshaft. More angulation for thinner patients |
CR angulation for AP axial clavicle (non-lordotic) | 15-30 degrees cephalad |
Respiration for AP axial clavicle | suspend on full inspiration to elevate |
Eval criteria for AP axial clavicle | most of clavicle projected above ribs, clavicle horizontal, entire clavicle plus AC and SC joints. |
