Cervical and Thoracic Mobilizations on the NPTE PT Final Exam

[@meller13]

The PDF hurts my brain in so many ways. Welcome to 2021. Thx for sharing anyway.

This video made me hype! 😅Thanks to this video, I finally understand this concept. You're awesome Dr Crane!!!

Video presentation on patient performed will make more clear

glide- S-superior A-anterior L- lateral for flexion of C5 C6 - glide C5 SAL for extension of C5 C6- glide C6 SAL opening of right C5C6 - right C5 SAL closing of right C5C6- right C6 SAL

[@t.des4580]

also - ipsilateral rotation will lead to ipsilateral opening where as - ipsilateral lateral flexion will lead to ipsilateral closing when rotation and lateral flexion occur simultaneously then we have to consider lateral flection movement as it over power the rotational effect

Thanks for the video. Heads up on the link for the biomechanics pdf not working

[@mohammedfawzy41]

excellent presentation . Thanks

[@zalak16desai]

So essentially if I perform opening at the articular surfaces for eg: between T9 and T10 , using the T9 , as the part being mobilized, would that cause relative closing between T8 and T9? I hope I could convey my doubt clearly.

[@marcusconway4]

The angle of the articular surface angle and orientation varies at every level of the cervical.

I have a confusion,Sullivan 2014 states: Cevical SB and Rot occurs same direction.Lumbar/thoracic SB and Rot opposite direction....Not like you just explained that Cervical and Thoracic side bend and rotate to same direction.please explain...TIA!

Hi. are you done with NPTE?

[@t.des4580]

great video thanks

[@palakkaur3681]

very well explained

[@mitamoon]

Thank you so much for the explanation .. so helpful!!

[@faisalhilaby]

How about with flexion and extension??

[@divyakommalapati302]

Yes therapyed says opposite for thoracic and lumbar.. So confused now

[@edgarurilov5335]

yes I got that too, Divya have you figured out which one is correct?
