[edit | edit source]
Overall, there is limited but promising evidence supporting the use of cervico-thoracic (CT) mobilization and thrust manipulation for patients with shoulder pain. [4] Possible mechanisms for the effectiveness of CT mobilization/ manipulation include:
Mobility-
- Thoracic spine and scapular mobility- Thoracic spine forms a key link in the kinematic sequence of arm elevation. Thoracic side bending and rotation are caused by unilateral humeral motions. Thoracic rotation and ER indicate significant coupling of these segmental movements. [5]
- Postural dysfunctions- Upper crossed postural syndrome. Weak deep neck flexors coupled with weak rhomboids and lower trapezius (LT) and Tight pecs coupled with tight upper traps.
- Regional Interdependance- Unrelated impairments in a remote anatomical region may contribute to, or be associated with, the patient’s primary complaint. [6]
Neurophysiologic-
- Increased scapular strength with manipulation- Improved LT strength following thoracic spine mobilization [7]and thrust manipulation. [8]
- Spinal level pain control- Immediate short-term reduction in numeric pain rating score (NPRS) and shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) following cervico-thoracic spine manipulation. [9]
- Placebo effect-
Scapulothoracic mobilization-
Scapulothoracic mobilization is performed when there is dysfunction of the scapulothoracic articulation (e.g. restriction of upward rotation or lateral glide). Mobilizations that are commonly used include: medial/lateral glides, superior/inferior glides, upward and downward rotation, and diagonal patterns.
- Patient Postition-Typically, the patient is lying side-lying with the involved side up and the arm resting on the therapist's arm. The therapist stands in front of the patient, facing them. Hand contacts for these glides are the inferior angle of the scapula and the acromion. Direction and magnitude of force are dependent upon the technique being utilized and the amount of motion that is desired.[10]
