Cervical Rib... HELP needed....

[utkarsh777]

hey,
well i did all the assessment.. there is no problem with thoracic spine mobility... cervical spine ROM is restricted almost in all directions due to pain...

Also patient is negative for thoracic outlet.. all tests negative..

Quote:I wud like to discuss efficacy of Roos' test but thats a separate topic...

and the symptoms are in the C3,4 dermatome, myotome... so guess its more of CS at C3,4 than a cervical rib case...

I did some manual traction with other electrotherapy stuff.. seems to work well for the patient...

One problem of the patient i'm unable to understand.. "she says in her arm it feels that her nerves are gettin on each other or she feels shooting pain just in the arm region, laterally and no where else"
wat do i understand from this...

cheers..
