Mnemonic for coupled movements of spine - coupled movements are SB & Rotation
- NOT SO FAST - approximately
- (N)OSO = Neutral spine (& extension) = Opposite for upper cervical; Same for mid cervical/upper thoracic; Opposite for lower thoracic/lumbar
- (F)OSS = Flexion = Opposite for upper cervical; Same for mid cervical + thoracic + lumbar
-
C0-C2 - SB & rotation - how
Opposite
-
C2-C7 - SB & rotation - how
Same
-
Lumbar/thoracic - neutral (& extension) - SB & rotation - how
Opposite
-
Lumbar/thoracic - flexion - SB & rotation - how
Same
-
Spine - facet movement w/extension - cervical, thoracic, lumbar
B/L Downglides
-
Spine - facet movement w/flexion - cervical, thoracic, lumbar
B/L Upglides
-
Spine - facet movement w/SB - cervical, thoracic, lumbar; Ex: SB R
- IPSI Downglide/CONTRA Upglide
- Ex: SB R = R downglide/L upglide
-
Spine - facet movement w/Rotation - cervical, thoracic, lumbar; Ex: R rotation
- IPSI Downglide/CONTRA Upglide
- Ex: Rotate R = R downglide/L upglide
-
C-spine - facet movement w/Rotation - where is gapping (separation) & closing (approximation)?
- IPSI Closing/CONTRA Gapping

-
T & L-Spine - facet movement w/Rotation - where is gapping (separation) & closing (approximation)?
- IPSI Gapping/CONTRA Closing

-
Thoracic - Upper & lower - vertebral body rotates how w/flexion? SPs?
- Vertebral body - same
- SPs - opposite
-
Jt mobilization - INC Thoracic extension
B/L downglide
-
In order to create a B/L downglide of T6 on T7, what mobilization technique must be used? What position is this performed in?
- B/L downglide = extension (of T6 on T7)
- PA of T6 SP of T7 TP’s of
-
In order to create B/L upglide of T3 on T4, what mobilization technique must be used? What position is this performed in?
- B/L upglide = flexion (of T3 on T4)
- PA of SP of T3 OR TP’s of T4
-
In order to create a R rotation of T8 on T9, what mobilization technique must be used? What position is this performed in?
-
In order to create a L rotation of T6 on T7, what mobilization technique must be used? What position is this performed in?
-
To correct a closing restriction of T5 on T6 - 2?
- PA of T6 TP @ 60 deg = downglide at T5-T6 & upglide of T6 on T7
- PA of T7 SP = downglide on T7 on T8 or Upglide of T6 on T7jQuery110108279520907240421_1482945904229?????
