Scapulothoracic Mobilization
[edit | edit source]
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.[4]
