Educational Objectives: Hour 1 Describe the biomechanics of rotation of a thoracic ring at the levels T1-T7. Describe the biomechanics of the Cervical spine, Thoracic spine, ribs, clavicle and manubrium with elevation of the right or left shoulder. Describe the biomechanics of flexion and extension at the Costotransverse joint T9 level. Describe the differences in motion of the mobile segments between T3 -T7 with side flexion occurring first in the Thoracic Spine. Hour 2 Relate how dysfunction of the scalenes can alter Cervical Spine biomechanics. Describe two functions of the diaphragm. Describe how perturbations are increased in LBP. Hour 3 Identify limited chest expansion and Bradcliff angles and ski jumps. Identify limited lateral costal breathing and how to facilitate normal lateral costal breathing. Demonstrate how to correctly measure chest expansion. Hour 4 Describe how altered breathing patterns can alter pH and how this can affect the body. Describe the autonomic nervous system and function. Name three physiological consequences of respiratory alkalosis.
