Motions and Muscles with C7 patient
Full: SA, Coracobrachialis

Partial: Pec Major, Wrist Flexors, Wrist extensors, Triceps

Key differences: Use of Tricep for arm extension
-Better sitting p/u with full SA
-Maintain tenodesis grip in C5-C7 pts
Motions and muscle with C8 pt
Full: Lats Dorsi, Triceps, Wrist Extensors, Pecs

Partial: Finger Flexors--lumbricales & interossei

Key Differences: Full tricep strength
-Use fist with sitting p/u to get higher off mat b/c now have good co-contraction
What is the anatomical definition and clinical significance of a fully innervated mm?
-All of the nerve roots that supply a muscle are intact, giving the muscle a 5/5 with MMT
-Clinically, a muscle is able to perform multiple reps, able to go against resistance, and pt is able to be more functional with their mvmts instead of depending on momentum to move a body part
Anatomical definition and clinical significance of a partially innervated muscle
-The caudal nerve root has been damaged and the muscle will test as a 3/5.
-Pt is able to lift the limb AG but not pick things up & decreased ability to do multiple reps
-Joint instability will likely be present
Hallmark C4
-Unstable scapula
-Dep on most bed mobility
-Can shrug shlders
-Some retraction
-no fxn innervation of UE joints
-Use head/neck motions & strength to assist caregiver
Hallmark C5
-More GH jt stability & some scapular stability
-Likely need bracing for wrist & hand d/t lack of ECRL, ECRB, and brachioradialis
-At risk for shld problems d/t GH instability and elbow flexion contractures
-Able to get their arm into position to extend their elbows passively in sitting using shoulder shrug and ER--may need assist placing hand
-Can achieve CKC elbow ext with deltoids and RC to maintain sitting balance
-Most cannot do sitting p/u
-Can move hand toward and away from body
Hallmark C6
-GH joint more stable & more potential for UR
-Almost reach overhead with partial SA
-Can place UE's for sitting p/u and can extend elbows with distal fixation for effective mobility
-Can use wrist extensors(especially radial side) slightly--WC propulsion
-More Scap stability
-Can upwardly rotate to get arm higher overhead
Hallmark C7
-Fully innervated SA provides scapular stability for Open and CKC
-Active elbow ext with triceps
-Get more lats here for increased height on sitting p/u
-Actively & fully extend wrist
Hallmark c8
-Stable co-contraction @ the wrist so they are able to WB through it in a fist
-Dont need to conserve tenodesis grip
-Limited finger mvmt & dexterity
-Full lats and triceps for strong scap depression resulting in very good sitting p/u
T1
Fully innervated
-Full finger ext and dexterity d/t innervated finger intrinsics
Rules for MMT with SCI pts
1. Test 1st in gravity minimized position
2. Stabilize joints above and below as well as joint being tested to assure compensations are not being used
When testing wrist ext MMT what is a key sign that C6 is intact and C7 is not
Wrist ext will deviate radially bc ECRL &B are innervated here
When testing what will show that a muscle doesnt quite have 5/5 strength
Muscle will fatigue easily with multiple reps
Give 4 muscles of respiration and cord levels
1. Diaphragm (C3-C5)
2. Intercostals (T1-T12)
3. Accessory mm: scalene, pecs, SA & SP
4. Abdominals (T6-T12): Obliques, TA, Rectus Abd
Explain mechanics of inspiration
-Diaphragm flattens & drops to draw air into lungs
-Intercostals & accessory mm's stabilize ribs to prevent them from being drawn downward & causing paradoxical breathing pattern
-Abs provide support to the abdominal viscera, which supports the diaphragm--diaphragm cant drop if abdominal viscera does not distend forward--which is allowed by eccentric contraction of abdominals--if abdominals are weak diaphragm will ride lower and have less distance to create inspiration
Explain mechanics of Expiration
-Decrease chest volume to expel air
-Abs push abdominal viscera back in and up causing diaphragm to rise pushing air out of the lungs
-Intercostals draw the ribs together, depresses the rivs, and reduces AP and ML dimensions of thoracic cavity
-Diaphragm contracts eccentrically for 2/3 of expiration against contents of abdomen--slows flow of air from the lungs which is important in phonation
Describe an ineffective cough
-Loud, forceful cough 2x

-Can clear the airway if trachea is blocked or when secretions need to be cleared
Give 4 Phases of coughing
1. Max inhalation
2. Glottis closure
3. Contraction of the mm of forced expiration with glottis closed
4. Contd forced expiration with glottis open
What are the parts of a respiratory exam?
1. Observe respiratory pattern: divide motion into four parts according to what region she breathes with the most b/t diaphragmatic, intercostal, and accessory
2. RR--normal 12-16 bpm
3. Chest excursion/vital capacity: measure for max inhalation & exhalation--should have at least 2 in b/t max inhale & exhale
4. Posture: Avoid kyphotic posture & posterior pelvic tilt
5. Cough--number, volume, and sound are indicators for effective cough--they need to be able to move secretion
6. Auscultation
Respiratory Goals of PT
1. Effective Air exchange
2. Prevent Pneumonia, Atelectasis(effective cough)--could result from lying for too long or ineffective cough
3. Ventilatory support for phonation
Give 6 treatments to maximize breathing
1. Work on proper breathing sequence
2. Strengthen weak inspiratory mm's
3. Inc amt of air exchange
4. Chest mobilization--stretching for tight mm's
5. Air Shifting--esp for paradoxical breathing pattern
6. Manual Techniques for self assitive cough
What does visible contraction of the SCM and scalenes during inhalation indicate?
Weak diaphragm
What is a paradoxical breathing pattern?
A decrease in chest excursion during inhalation--indicates intercostal functioning is poor

-treat with Air Shifts
