thoracic manipulation would lead to decreased pain and

improved function in individuals with primary neck pain.
ese theories include both mechanical and neurophysiological
mechanisms and it is most plausible that a combination of these
mechanisms leads to the observed changes. e clinical bottom
line is that there is sufficient evidence to warrant examining the
thoracic spine in patients with neck pain and to consider using
thoracic spine manipulation. In patients with acute or irritable
cervical conditions such as a radiculopathy or post-whiplash
injury, thoracic spine manipulation can be well tolerated and
lead to a reduction in pain and disability. Once the level of
irritability has decreased, the cervical spine can then be directly
addressed.
For patients with mechanical neck pain, a recent systematic
review concluded that thoracic spine manipulation was more
beneficial for pain and disability reduction than standard care
in the short term, but no better than cervical manipulation or
placebo thoracic spine manipulation.

Shoulder
ere is conflicting evidence for the effectiveness of manual
therapy directed toward the thoracic spine and ribs for patients
with shoulder pain.
133,139
Bizzarri et al
139
conducted a systematic
review of 4 articles and concluded a single session of thoracic
spine manual therapy is not more effective than placebo for the
short term. is result is not unexpected in that manual therapy
to any region should be part of a broader multimodal treatment
140
plan. In a recent trial by Rhon et al,
104 individuals with
subacromial impingement syndrome were randomized into
a manual physical therapy or corticosteroid injection group.
In the manual physical therapy group, each examiner was
allowed to pragmatically provide manual therapy interventions
including thoracic spine thrust and nonthrust manipulation,
cervical nonthrust manipulation, and shoulder girdle nonthrust
manipulation. In this trial, both of the groups experienced
improvements in disability and pain rating that remained at
12-month follow-up. e manual physical therapy group did
have a lower rate of health care utilization compared to the
injection group. Similar to the cervical spine, multiple theories
exist to explain the potential mechanisms by which manipulative
therapy of the CT spine can lead to decreased shoulder pain.
Several recent studies have examined the kinematics of the spine
and scapulae as a potential explanation for the changes in clinical
141
presentation. Haik et al
randomized 50 individuals with
subacromial impingement syndrome to receive either thoracic
spine manipulation or a sham manipulation. In this study, the
experimental group had an immediate decrease in reported
pain, while very small and likely not clinically important
changes in scapular kinematics were observed. Kardouni et al.
57
compared thoracic spine manipulation to sham in individuals
with subacromial impingement and determined that no
changes occurred in scapular or thoracic spine kinematics. In
this study, both the experimental and sham groups experienced
improvements in patient-reported outcomes indicating a
potential placebo effect. Based on the above-mentioned
studies, there is preliminary evidence to suggest that patients
with a primary complaint of shoulder pain may benefit from
manual therapy directed toward the thoracic spine for patientreported outcomes. However, this intervention is unlikely to
alter kinematic parameters of the shoulder girdle, scapular, or
thoracic spine, and placebo likely contributes a large part to the
immediate effects.
Key Takeaway Points
• Research evidence for rehabilitation of primary thoracic
spine disorders is lacking.
For the majority of primary thoracic spine or rib cage
•
musculoskeletal disorders a specific pathobiological
diagnosis cannot be identified and they are considered
nonspecific.
•
Borrowing from the literature on LBP, individuals with
nonspecific thoracic spine disorders can be triaged based
on their risk for prolonged pain and disability.
• Individuals with low to medium risk should respond to a
multimodal approach including education, exercise, and
manual therapy.
• Individuals who are high risk may benefit from more
intensive education, a graded exposure approach
to rehabilitation, and referral for multidisciplinary
management.
•
Older adults with thoracic vertebral compression fractures
are at risk for subsequent fractures and morbidity and
mortality. Exercise programs focusing on spinal extensor
strengthening have been shown to reduce the incidence
of future vertebral compression fractures.
• Chest wall pain that is musculoskeletal in nature
can arise from a variety of traumatic and atraumatic
conditions including rib fractures, Tietze syndrome,
costochondritis, rib stress injuries, slipping rib syndrome,
and postoperative chest wall pain. Individuals with these
conditions can benefit from targeted rehabilitation
involving manual therapy and exercise.
• e first and second ribs can be implicated in individuals
reporting posterior shoulder girdle and supraclavicular
pain. Careful assessment of the cervical spine and
shoulder is recommended prior to making the diagnosis
of first or second rib syndrome.
• Addressing the thoracic spine, particularly with manual
therapy interventions, has been shown to be beneficial as
part of a multimodal program for individuals with neck
and shoulder disorders.
OUTCOME MEASURES AND
RETURN TO FUNCTION
e use of patient self-reported functional scales is
recommended for both clinical and research purposes.
Clinicians have historically relied most heavily on physical

impairments, such as ROM and strength, to track patient
https://t.me/med1917
outcomes. In many cases, physical impairment measures
account for only a small portion of a patient’s disability.
142,143
No specific measures for function and disability have been
reported for patients with thoracic spine and rib cage pain.
One option is to use a cervical-specific scale such as the Neck
Disability Index for patients reporting upper thoracic spine
pain above the level of T4, and to use a lumbar-specific form
such as the Oswestry Disability Index for patients complaining
of pain below T4. Another option is to use a generic tool like
the patient-specific functional scale (PSFS).
144
With this tool,
patients list up to 5 important functional activities and rate their
ability to complete them on a numeric rating scale. e average
score (from 0 to 10) of these activities is then used. e PSFS
has been shown to be reliable, responsive, and valid in patients
with neck pain and LBP.
144
e PSFS is a generic functional
measure that can assist the clinician and the patient in tracking
the progress of the patient’s individual functional limitations.
Due to the individualized nature of the items on the scale, the
PSFS is not designed for use in comparing outcomes across
patients. e PSFS has not been specifically validated for use
in patients with thoracic spine pain. To assess pain at baseline
the NPRS is recommended, which is a reliable, responsive, and
appropriate measure for pain for patients with musculoskeletal
conditions.
145
e TLS test is a performance-based outcome
measure designed to assess back extensor muscle endurance in
individuals with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
For this test, the patient is standing while holding 1 kg (2.2
pounds) dumbbells in their hands with their shoulders in
90° of flexion, elbows fully extended, and forearms in neutral
pronation/supination. If the patient is unable to hold 1 kg
dumbbells, 0.5 kg dumbbells may be used. e test measures
how long, in seconds, the patient can maintain this position.
e patient may self-select to end the test or they continue
until unable to maintain the position. Newman et al
146
assessed
the TLS using surface electromyography (EMG) electrodes
placed bilaterally on the thoracic extensor muscles at the T3
and T12 levels on 36 individuals with osteoporotic vertebral
compression fractures (average age 71.6 years). ey measured
the association between the participants’ TLS time and the
rate of surface EMG frequency decline during the test. ey
reported an r
2
value of 0.71, indicating these 2 measurements
were highly correlated, both measurements being reflective of
muscular fatigue.
146
Normative data by age and sex for the TLS
are not available.
Key Takeaway Points
• Research-validated outcome measures specific to the
thoracic spine are lacking.
• One approach is to use the Neck Disability Index for
individuals with upper thoracic spine pain and the
Oswestry Disability Index for individuals with middle to
lower thoracic spine pain.
• e PSFS and the NPRS used for individuals with any
musculoskeletal disorders are suitable for individuals
with thoracic spine disorders.
• e TLS test is a performance-based outcome measure
to assess back extensor muscle endurance in individuals
with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
CASE SCENARIOS
Case Scenario 1
A 42-year-old female presents with a chief complaint of mid-
thoracic spine pain that has been gradually increasing over the
last 6 weeks. She recently transitioned to working from home as
a website developer and spends about 8 hours per day (40 hours
per week) on her computer. She reports that her pain is centrally
located between the scapulae with the most intense location over
T6. She denies any radiating symptoms but does feel the pain
with deep inhalation. Additionally, her symptoms increase with
prolonged sitting/driving (> 30 minutes), lifting both upper
extremities overhead simultaneously, and with activities that
require a sustained forward flexed position. She enjoys hobbies
including swimming, walking, gardening, and reading. Her
past medical history is positive for borderline diabetes, but she
is not currently on pharmacological management. She reports a
family history of diabetes and hypertension. She denies having
any thoracic spine pain before but has had intermittent low
back pain. Her low back pain was successfully managed with
physical therapy in the past. She lives in a 2-story home with
her husband and 2 teenage children. She reports her current
pain on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is 1/10 at
rest and 5/10 following aggravating activities. Her symptoms
immediately reduce to baseline following moving out of the
aggravating position. Her score on the Neck Disability Index
(NDI) is 28%. Physical examination is positive for limited
cervical spine and thoracic extension range of motion (ROM)
and for hypomobility of the upper and mid-thoracic spine. Her
concordant symptoms were reproduced with active thoracic
extension and posterior-anterior pressure applied over the T6
and T7 vertebrae.
1. Based on the location of symptoms, what primary visceral
pathology should be considered in the differential diagnosis?
a. Myocardial infarction.
b. Pneumonia.
c. Cholecystitis.
d. Esophagitis.
e correct answer is c. Cholecystitis. e patient reports
scapular region pain as well as pain with deep inhalation. In this
case, the gall bladder should be considered on the differential
diagnosis list. e clinician should further investigate by
determining the presence/absence of right upper quadrant pain,

if symptoms occur following 1-2 hours after eating a meal and if
https://t.me/med1917
the patient reports any fever, nausea, or vomiting. e clinician
could also perform Murphy’s sign by palpating the right
subcostal region and asking the patient to take a deep breath.
2.
Based on the history and examination findings and response
to testing, what level of symptom irritability would be most
accurate?
a. Low.
b. Medium.
c. High.
d. Very high.
e correct answer is a. Low. Symptom irritability is in part
determined by the amount of time it takes for the symptoms to
return to baseline levels following an aggravating stimulus. e
patient reports pain severity/intensity ratings of 1/10 at rest and
a 5/10 with aggravating activities that immediately return to
baseline following cessation of the activity. is would be most
consistent with low irritability. e symptom irritability status
can be useful to clinicians to determine how many provoking or
aggravating tests/measures can be used during the examination.
3.
Given the patient’s aggravating activities and her reported
hobbies, which hobbies would be a key target for education/
intervention to help the patient avoid aggravating activities?
a. Swimming.
b. Walking.
c. Gardening.
d. Reading.
e correct answer is d. Reading. In this instance, the
patient has aggravating activities that include a forward flexed
position. Of all of her hobbies, reading is the only one that
is typically stationary and has the greatest chance to foster a
sustained forward flexed position. Educational interventions
should target that hobby to encourage optimal positioning and
movement to avoid aggravating her symptoms.
4. e patient is provided a supine mid-thoracic thrust
manipulation in the clinic. She immediately verbally reports
that she feels better and does not feel the pain currently.
What objective measure would be ideal for the clinician to
assist in tracking the effectiveness of this technique?
a. Cervical spine range of motion.
b. oracic spine range of motion.
c. Pain after sitting for 30 minutes.
d. Hypomobility of T6 and T7.
symptoms. Pain after prolonged sitting is not a realistic measure
in the clinical setting and relies only on the verbal report of
the patient. Mobility testing of the thoracic spine and the
determination of the change in joint mobility is possible, but
caution should be used when re-assessing the joint mobility as it
is subject to expectation bias on the part of the therapist.
Case Scenario 2
A 72-year-old female presents with a chief complaint of
lower thoracic spine pain. Onset of her symptoms occurred 8
weeks prior while she was bending down to lift her grandson.
She experienced immediate pain and went to the emergency
department where she underwent radiographs that revealed
an osteoporotic vertebral compression of the T9 vertebra. She
has been resting and using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories
for pain management. She was referred to physical therapy
for ongoing pain and difficulty with standing greater than
20 minutes, lifting greater than 10 pounds, and performing
sustained overhead activities. Her medical history includes
osteoporosis, hypertension, and a past history of a half pack a
day smoking for 30 years. She quit smoking 20 years ago. Her
goals are to be able to stand in the kitchen long enough to cook
meals, be able to lift her grandson, and put dishes away in her
upper cabinets.
Outcome measures:
Start Back Screening Tool: 4/9
•
• Patient Specific Functional Scale: Stand 5/10, lifting 4/10,
overhead activity 4/10
• Numeric Pain Rating Scale (average): 5/10
• Time Loaded Standing test: 45 seconds
Physical examination findings:
• Ectomorphic body build with increased mid-thoracic
kyphosis
• Bilateral shoulder flexion is limited to 135°
• Trunk rotation, side bending, and extension are all significantly
limited and concordantly painful
Gentle spring testing over the T8-10 region is concordantly

1. Aside from radiographs to diagnose the fracture, what other
diagnostic imaging study would be useful in managing this
patient’s condition?
a. Bone scan.
b. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
c. Computed tomography (CT) scan.
d. DXA scan.
e correct answer is b. oracic spine range of motion.
oracic spine ROM is an objective measure that is directly
related to the patient’s reported symptoms. While cervical spine
ROM may also be measured, it is not the primary region of

e correct answer is d. DXA scan. A DXA scan provides
information about the amount of bone mineral density in key
body regions including the spine and femurs. is information
is used to guide decision making on pharmacological and non-
39

pharmacological interventions for individuals with low bone
https://t.me/med1917
mineral density. e imaging studies listed for answers a, b,
and c are usually not necessary as radiographs are adequate in
the diagnosis of a vertebral compression fracture although MRI
could be useful in determining the stage of the fracture but is
not necessary for the diagnosis.
2.
A primary goal in individuals with thoracic hyperkyphosis
is to improve thoracic extension mobility in an attempt to
reduce the kyphosis. What manual therapy technique is most
appropriate for this patient to improve thoracic extension
mobility?
a. Seated middle thoracic thrust manipulation.
b. Supine middle thoracic thrust manipulation.
c. Prone middle thoracic nonthrust manipulation.
d. Prone rib nonthrust manipulation.
e correct answer is c. Metastatic bone disease. Insidious
onset of thoracic spine pain in an older adult that is constant
in nature with the patient feeling systemically unwell should be
cause for concern. Although she does not have a past history of
primary cancer, she does have a history of long-term smoking
which puts her at risk for cancers, particularly of the lung.
Metastatic bone disease from a primary cancer such as the
lung can often affect the thoracic spine. Answer a. Ankylosing
spondylitis is incorrect because she is older and female and
does not report the hallmark morning pain and stiffness.
Answer b. Cardiac disease is incorrect because you would
expect cardiac referred pain to occur mostly with exertion in
a person with a history of cardiovascular disease. Answer d.
Vertebral osteomyelitis is a possibility, but she does not have
any risk factors for infection such as a recent surgery, history of
intravenous drug use, or history of an infection.
e correct answer is c. Prone middle thoracic nonthrust
manipulation. is technique is considered safe and could
be effective as part of a multimodal approach to address
thoracic extension mobility. It can be graded based on the
patient’s tolerance and the clinician’s best judgement for safety.
Answers a and b are incorrect because thrust manipulation is
contraindicated in the presence of osteoporosis. Answer d is also
incorrect because the patient does not report rib pain and it
is generally advised that direct rib mobilization is avoided in
individuals with osteoporosis given the fracture risk.
3. Aside from thoracic spine mobility, what other impairment
should be addressed with the goal of not only improving
function but also prevention of future fractures?
a. Soft tissue flexibility particularly of the pectoralis muscles.
b. Periscapular muscle strength.
c. Spinal extensor muscle strength and endurance.
d. Shoulder flexion range of motion.
e correct answer is c. Spinal extensor muscle strength
and endurance. Studies have shown that this intervention
reduces the incidence of future vertebral compression fractures.
e interventions listed in a, b, and d are all viable options and
have been used as part of multimodal programs for individuals
shown to specifically reduce future fractures.
4. If this patient denied any trauma and presented with similar
symptoms that were more constant in nature, including at
night, and reported feeling systemically unwell, what other
condition should you suspect?
a. Ankylosing spondylitis.
b. Cardiac disease.
c. Metastatic bone disease.
d. Vertebral osteomyelitis.
Case Scenario 3
A 25-year-old female graduate student presents with a
chief complaint of chest wall pain. She is self-referred to your
clinic. She has undergone numerous investigations including
radiographs, abdominal ultrasound imaging, and abdominal
computed tomography to rule out visceral causes. Her
physician placed her on a proton-pump inhibitor medication
after diagnosing her with gastroesophageal reflux disorder, but
this medication has not changed her symptoms. Her symptoms
are located in the right anterior to middle lower rib cage region.
e symptoms began after doing abdominal exercises in the
gym 4 months ago. Her symptoms increase with carrying her
backpack over her right shoulder, twisting her trunk, performing
abdominal exercises, and sitting for prolonged periods of time in
class. She reports low level symptoms (2/10) at rest that increase
to 6/10 with activity. Her symptoms settle to baseline within a
minute of ceasing the activity. She denies a clicking or subluxing
sensation of the involved region. She reports intermittent pain
in the right upper abdominal quadrant and denies bowel or
bladder changes, changes in symptoms with eating, or recent
weight loss. She is otherwise healthy with no significant past
medical history. Her goals are to return to exercising in the gym
including abdominal exercise, being able to carry her backpack,
and being able to sit through class. She reports being frustrated
by a lack of improvement in her symptoms and not having a
definitive diagnosis.
Outcome measures:
•
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (average): 6/10
Patient Specific Functional Scale: 5/10
•
Physical examination findings:
• Observation: posture is unremarkable, no swelling or deformity
is present about the involved rib cage or costochondral region
• Trunk extension, rotation to the left, and side bending to the
right are limited and reproduce concordant pain

Spring testing over the spinous processes of T8 and T9 is
locally painful and considered hypomobile
•
Palpating the lower rib cage region bilaterally while the patient
performs deep inspiration and expiration suggests reduced

‘tightness’ in the right rib cage region during deep inspiration
When performing the hooking maneuver of the right 8th and
•
9th rib region, there is some tenderness but no sensation of
clicking
Palpation of the abdomen and 4 abdominal quadrants reveals
•
no tenderness, masses, or hardness
1. What diagnosis for this patient is the most accurate?
a. Tietze syndrome.
b. Slipping rib syndrome.
c. Costochondritis.
d. Rib fracture.
e correct answer is c. Costochondritis. She has a chief
complaint of pain along the costochondral margin in multiple
ribs after a repetitive loading of the region. Tietze syndrome
is incorrect because that typically involves the upper ribs with
visible swelling. Slipping rib syndrome is incorrect because the
patient does not report clicking/subluxation and the hooking
maneuver does not cause a clicking sensation. Rib fracture is
incorrect as that would have been found on imaging and there
was no significant trauma to cause a fracture.
2.
What manual therapy technique should be trialed first to
help with pain modulation and improving mobility of the
thoracic spine and rib cage?
Posterior to anterior thrust manipulation directed toward
a.
the right 8th and 9th ribs with the patient prone.
b.
Posterior to anterior nonthrust manipulation directed
toward the right 8th and 9th ribs with the patient prone.
c. rust manipulation directed toward the right 8th and
9th ribs with the patient supine.
d. rust manipulation directed toward the T8 and T9
vertebrae with the patient in prone or supine.
e correct answer is d. rust manipulation directed
toward the T8 and T9 vertebrae with the patient in prone or
supine. A general rule of thumb is to target the thoracic spine
prior to the ribs in the presence of rib pain as direct treatment
to the rib can be more pain provoking. After reassessment, the
clinician may then elect to perform direct rib manipulation
taking into consideration the severity and irritability of the
patient’s symptoms. e other answers all involve direct
manipulation of the ribs so they are incorrect as the technique
to perform first.
3.
What exercise intervention is the best choice for this patient
at this time?
a. Seated rowing exercise to strengthen the latissimus and
scapular retractors.
Supine punch exercise to strengthen the serratus anterior.
b.
c.
oracic extension and rotation mobility exercises
incorporating breathing to mobilize the ribs.
Abdominal crunch exercise to strengthen the abdominal
d.
oblique muscles.
e correct answer is c. oracic extension and rotation
mobility exercises incorporating breathing to mobilize the
ribs. At this stage of the patient’s rehabilitation, the goal is to
decrease pain and improve mobility, so this exercise is most
appropriate. e other choices, strengthening exercises targeting
the muscles supporting the thoracic spine and ribs, could all be
considered as the patient’s symptoms reduce and she is working
on returning to the gym.
4.
What is the best explanation for the patient’s vague
abdominal pain?
a. Ongoing gastrointestinal issues.
b. Abdominal muscle strain.
c. Gall bladder disease.
d. Referred pain from the thoracic spine and rib cage.
e correct answer is d. Referred pain from the thoracic
spine and rib cage. e thoracic spine and rib cage share
common innervation with the abdomen and abdominal
viscera. Musculoskeletal disorders of the thoracic spine can
cause referred pain into the abdomen most likely due to
convergence of primary afferent nerves in the spinal cord. She is
not reporting any signs or symptoms of gastrointestinal disorder
and her symptom profile does not fit with gall bladder disease,
so answers a. and c. are incorrect. Answer b. Abdominal muscle
strain is a possibility given her symptoms location and original
injury mechanism, but all her symptoms on examination were
reproduced with provocation of the thoracic spine and ribs.
Case Scenario 4
A 26-year-old female graduate student presents to physical
therapy with a primary complaint of mid to lower thoracic
spine pain of an insidious onset beginning 4 weeks ago. She
began graduate coursework for a doctoral degree in Anatomy
2 months ago, which has involved a substantial amount of
studying, attending courses, and human cadaver dissection. She
also reports that she is under a considerable amount of stress
and has been sleeping 4-6 hours per night on a regular basis.
Symptoms are dull, achy in nature, and are currently located
over the central aspect of T8 to T11. She denies radiating
symptoms, pain with inhalation, and any signs of suspected
sinister pathology. Aggravating factors include prolonged (>20

41

minutes) sitting at her desk, standing hunched over at her
https://t.me/med1917
dissection table (>40 minutes), and attempting yoga positions
that require spinal extension. Easing factors include avoiding
pain provocative positions and/or activities and nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory medications. Her medical history includes
a diagnosis of anxiety that is pharmacologically managed.
She reports her current pain on the Numeric Pain Rating
Scale (NPRS) is 2/10 at rest and 4/10 following aggravating
activities. Her symptoms reduce to baseline within 5 minutes
of discontinuing an aggravating activity. Her Neck Disability
Index (NDI) score is 22%.
1. Based upon the information provided in the patient history,
which of the following diagnoses is most likely in this case
scenario?
a. Mechanical thoracic spine pain.
b. Mechanical rib dysfunction.
c. Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation.
d. T4 syndrome.
e correct answer is a. Mechanical thoracic spine pain.
e source of the patient’s pain may be related to the thoracic disc
or facet joint, but it is difficult to ascertain the pathoanatomical
cause for the pain from the history and physical examination.
e patient symptom profile, relationship of aggravating and
easing factors, and consideration of additional pain qualifying
questions indicate mechanical thoracic spine pain. Mechanical
rib dysfunction is unlikely due to the location—symptoms
would likely be located further laterally than described—and
the patient may also report pain with inspiration or expiration.
Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation is less likely given the
patient’s pain distribution and lack of neurological signs and
symptoms. Finally, the lack of upper or lower quarter neurogenic
and sympathetic signs or symptoms, such as bilateral upper
extremity paresthesias and sweating, make T4 syndrome an
unlikely diagnosis.
2.
During aggravating activities into thoracic extension, which
of the following describes the arthrokinematics of the
thoracic facet joints of T8 and T9?
a. Inferior and posterior sliding of the inferior facets of
the superior vertebra (T8) on the superior facets of the
inferior vertebra (T9).
b. Left inferior and lateral sliding of the inferior facet of
the superior vertebra (T8) on the superior facet of the
inferior vertebra (T9), and right superior and medial
slide of the inferior facet of the superior vertebra (T8) on
the superior facet of the inferior vertebra (T9).
c. Right inferior and lateral sliding of the inferior facet of the
superior vertebra (T8) on the superior facet of the inferior
vertebra (T9), and left superior and medial slide of the
inferior facet of the superior vertebra (T8) on the superior
facet of the inferior vertebra (T9).
Superior and anterior sliding of the inferior facets of
d.
the superior vertebra (T8) on the superior facets of the
inferior vertebra (T9).
e correct answer is a. Inferior and posterior sliding of
the inferior facets of the superior vertebra (T8) on the superior
facets of the inferior vertebra (T9). is biomechanical
relationship of the arthrokinematics of the thoracic facet joints
describes movement into extension. Options b. and c. describe
left and right thoracic lateral side bending, respectively. Option
d. describes the arthrokinematics of the thoracic facet joints
during flexion.
3.
Which spinal ligament will provide bony stability of
the vertebral segments and intervertebral discs during
cervicothoracic extension?
a. Anterior longitudinal ligament.
b. Interspinous ligament.
c. Intertransverse ligament.
d. Posterior longitudinal ligament.
e correct answer is a. Anterior longitudinal ligament.
e anterior longitudinal ligament spans the anterior aspect of
the vertebral column from the atlas to the sacrum. Given the
anatomical relationship of the ligament to the biomechanical
movement of adjacent vertebrae the anterior longitudinal
ligament is taut during extension. e interspinous ligament
and posterior longitudinal ligament will serve to resist
cervicothoracic flexion. e intertransverse ligament is primarily
responsible for osteologic stability between segments during
lateral side bending.
Pertinent physical examination findings include limited
cervical spine range of motion (ROM) into extension and
bilateral side bending, limited thoracic extension and rotation
ROM, and hypomobility of the mid-thoracic spine. Her
concordant symptoms were reproduced with end range thoracic
extension, thoracic flexion, and posterior-anterior segmental
mobility testing to T8-10.
4. Which of the following muscles originates at the angle of
ribs 7 through 12 and inserts at the angles of ribs 1 through
6 and the transverse process of C7?
a. Iliocostalis thoracis.
b. Longissimus capitis.
c. Quadratus lumborum.
d. Splenius capitis.
e correct answer is a. Iliocostalis thoracis. is muscle
originates at the angle of the 7th to 12th rib and inserts at the
angles of first to 6th ribs and the transverse process of C7.

Using the rule of 3s, what arrangement best describes the
5.
anatomical relationship of the spinous process to the
transverse process of the T8 vertebra?
a.
e spinous process is located at the same level as the

e correct answer is c. e spinous process is located
1 vertebral level below the transverse process. According to
the rule of 3s, the spinous processes of T1 through T3 are at
the same level as the transverse processes, the spinous processes
of T4 through T6 are 0.5 vertebral level below the transverse
processes, the spinous processes of T7 through T9 are 1 full
vertebral level below the transverse processes, and the spinous
processes of T10 through T12 are at the same vertebral level to
which they are attached.
