| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| kyphosis (humpback) | exaggerated posterior curve of thoracic spine |
| kyphosis angularis | caused by bacterial infection |
| kyphosis angularis complications | breathing difficulties |
| kyphosis angularis teatment | massage after infection is over |
| kyphosis acurata (more common) | caused by postural |
| scoliosis | unequal length of spinal muscles |
| thoracic outlet syndrome also called.. | brachial neuralgia, pectoralis minor syndrome |
| thoracic outlet syndrome definition | neurovascular entrapment of the brachial plexus |
| thoracic outlet syndrome definition | blood vessels running to or from the arm are impinged or impaired at the thoracic outlet |
| thoracic outlet syndrome causes | drooping shoulders in poor posture, hypertonic pectoralis minor |
| thoracic outlet syndrome signs & symptoms | shooting pains, numbness, weakness, tingling |
| thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms | worse when lifts arm over head |
| thoracic outlet syndrome treatment | massage to release hypertonic musculature & trigger points & strengthen weakened musculature |
| rotator cuff tendonitis also called | swimmer's shoulder, pitcher's shoulder |
| rotator cuff tendonitis causes | due to trauma, repetitive use injury |
| rotator cuff tendonitis signs & symptoms | horizontal adduction combined with medial rotation(bringing arm across chest) |
| adhesive capsulitis | frozen shoulder |
| adhesive capsulitis definition | condition in which the shoulder is initially painful & gradually becomes restricted in motion in all directions |
| adhesive capsulitis treatment | stretching, use moist heat, ROM |
| bicipital tendinosis definition | condition affecting long head of biceps brachii where there is collagen degeneration in tendon |
| bicipital tendinosis massage | deep transverse friction done longitudinal to the fibers to prevent dislocation of the tendon from the bicipital groove |
| bicipital tendinosis massage | longitudinal stripping, static compression, stretch |
| scoliosis | curvature may be C or S shaped |
| supraspinatus tendonitis | pain in abduction 60-120 degrees |
| paradoxical breathing | uses upper rib cage to expand, abdomen contract |
| diaphragm breathing | uses lower rib to expand |
| internal costals | respiratory & postural function |
| internal costals | controls the ribs, thus inspiration & thoracic rotation |
| levator scapula, upper traps, scalenes | common site of pain in neck & shoulders |
| traps & rhomboids | muscle soreness, major source of upper back pain |
| trigger point on infraspinatus | referring down outer aspect of outer arm |
| brachii plexus | impinged scalenes & pectoralis minor |
| tightness in rhomboids | pectoralis major |
| soreness bringing arms above head | trigger point therapy |
| levator scapula | pain & tightness in neck &shoulders |
