For myotome testing, do you typically grade your force, like you would in an MMT. Do you typically hold if for 5 seconds.

More super easy to follow tutorials! Thank you Khalid. More Inspiration for me and my physio channel 👍🏼

Thank you buddy! 🙌🏼

Myotome for cervical rotation??

[@isaacsilberstein2339]

Hi Dr. Khalid, Would you recommend the pt hold your their contraction against your resistance for at least 5 seconds, as myotomal weakness takes time to identify? Thank you, Isaac

[@ClinicalPhysio]

To be honest my friend true myotomal weakness may not even take 5 seconds. However this may be a good habit to ensure consistency for you. If someone can start the contraction very well but then it fades over the 5 seconds I wouldn't necessarily think this is myotomal (because they could achieve the good contraction initially)

Great visual video. So glad I found your channel.

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Thank you so much for your kind words Martin! Hope we can keep helping!

Brilliant video, my uni linked vid of two guys that only confused me and haven'tprovided all myotoms, so I decided to find better one and here it is!! I only watched this once and remember all the moves ! Thanks 😊

[@ClinicalPhysio]

😍😂 Thank you so much! Please feel free to share our video with your uni would be happy to help!

[@robbieedwards2039]

heres a question for you, if there is a reduced sensation on the oxford scale or even the area being tested feels weak could mobilisation or HVT improve the nerve irritation symptom for that single nerve route? so lets say C5 as an example ?

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Hi Robbie - the idea is that therapy is aimed at improving the pathology by reducing the compression and thus improving strength. In specific answer to your question, Manual therapy is something I am using less and less because the evidence seems to be shifting away from it, but I suppose in theory, yes if manual therapy to the area reduces the compression then symptoms should improve

[@robbieedwards2039]

@@ClinicalPhysio thanks, in reference to your reply if you were to pick 3 areas that you focus on if manual therapy is becoming less supported what would your current therapeutic focus be?

[@ClinicalPhysio]

@@robbieedwards2039 For this patient, and if there are no serious concerns re: neurological deterioration.... 1) Helping them get right analgesia, 2) Education and Reassurance, 3) Exercise Therapy

Eagerly waiting for you to make Dermatomes THIS EASY too! :D

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Thank you! But you dont have to wait! Our upper Limb dermatomes video is already released and on our KZbin channel 😁🥳

[@JANtales]

excellent video, Sir. Visual display of our theoretical knowledge is really helpful. One thing i would suggest is to improve the sound quality ,please.

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Thank you so much! Yes sound is definitely something that has improved in our more recent videos 🙏🏼

why do we do myotomes tests if we did already resistence movements tests??

[@ClinicalPhysio]

Hi! Myotomes are very useful because they are a SET list of actions to test all levels of the Cervical Spine. For example, if you were assessing a patient with shoulder pain, would we routinely do resistance tests of Cervical Spine, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and Hand?..... Usually not, that is where myotomes makes the difference

[@goncalomadureira2588]

@@ClinicalPhysio first of all thanks for the quick response. So would u say that you only test out the Myotomes if you suspect of a neuropatic disorder?

[@ClinicalPhysio]

@@goncalomadureira2588 you’re welcome 😊 Yes that is correct - for neurological pathology

[@ClinicalPhysio]

And then like you said, resisted tests for other pathologies where you may wish to be more specific towards local pathology and local tissue

[@goncalomadureira2588]
