In the video below we utilize treating the scapula generally to highlight concepts of patient positioning, leverage, control, implicit learning, and explicit learning. The aim is to further discuss these concepts so that you, the consumer of this information, may have a greater understanding of the concepts in action.
We have explored lateral recumbent through our patient positioning series. With the concepts put forth in the patient positioning series we identified that the table makes stable, less table means I need to make the patient stable, and the space between us is unstable. With respect to those concepts being applied in lateral recumbent we are able to suggest that working from behind the patient in lateral recumbent with the patient’s back close to edge of the table works well overall. That being said, there are times when working in front of the patient in lateral recumbent is useful and, as such, we discuss that in this video.
In this post we have a video that takes a look at the erector mass generally. The concepts of patient positioning are used to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of various positions in relation to interfacing with the erector mass. We also touch on the concepts of palpation (especially broad contact/get as much as you can touch).
