EXAM 2025 TEST!!
You have a patient with forward head posture. What are 3 techniques that you
could use to address this impairment? - (answers)- bilateral upper thoracic
release
- elongation of paravertebral muscles
- axial flexion of c/s
- mobilization of OA
- SCM muscle play
- cervical spine laminar release
- upper trap release
- levator scap release
You have a patient with forward shoulder posture. What are 2 techniques you
could use to help with this? - (answers)- diaphragm release
- subscapularis techniques (2)
- pec minor manipulation
- pec major muscle play
- lateral elongation of upper thoracic/pecs/fascia
- rib splaying
, 2
You have a patient with tight internal rotators and limited ER of the shoulder.
What are 2 techniques that you could use to address the soft tissue restrictions
that could limit ER? - (answers)- subscapularis techniques (2)
- pec major muscle play
- pec minor manipulation (not the best choice tho)
You have a patient with limited internal rotation of the hip and tightness in the
soft tissue of the lateral hip. What are 2 techniques you could use to address this?
- (answers)- greater trochanter rocking
- piriformis techniques (3)
- ITB/paratrochanteric manipulation
You have a patient with SIJ dysfunction and tightness in the piriformis as well as
along the sacral border. What are 2 techniques you could use to address this
impairment? - (answers)- sacral release techniques (3)
- piriformis techniques (3)
You have a patient that has recently been immobilized in a boot. This boot is now
removed, but the patient demonstrates a significant loss of DF and inversion ROM
d/t tightness in the gastroc, soleus, peroneals, and posterior connective tissue.
What are 2 techniques that you could use to address this issue? - (answers)-
lateral fascial distraction of the tibia
- lateral elongation of peroneal tissue
- cross friction of the gastroc/soleus MTJ
- gastroc muscle play
, 3
The patient presents 6 weeks s/p proximal HS strain with tendinopathy and tight
HS. What are 2 techniques you could use to address the tendon, as well as
prepare the muscle for stretching? - (answers)- hamstring muscle play
- myofascial manipulation of the HS (3)
The patient presents with limited shoulder elevation. What are 2 techniques that
could potentially help with this impairment? - (answers)- unilateral P/A
articulation of first rib
- first rib/shoulder depression rocking technique
- anterior fascial elongation of superficial fascia
The patient presents with limited side bending. What are 2 techniques that could
potentially help with a SB limitation? - (answers)- iliac crest release - power grip
- QL non-aggressive techniques (3)
- QL aggressive techniques (3)
The patient presents with limited forward bending of the lumbar spine. What are
2 techniques that could help improve FWB? - (answers)- elbow-forearm
technique/medial-lateral elongation
- laminar release techniques (3)
