PRC Treatment Planning & Manual Techniques 2

Question 1

In PRI treatment planning, which position is used to facilitate left AIC pattern correction during supine exercises?

Accepted Answer

Left hip abduction with right hip adduction

Answer

Left hip abduction combined with right hip adduction helps unwind the left AIC pattern by repositioning the pelvis and activating left glute medius.

Question 2

Which manual technique in PRI is used to restore left thoracic rotation by addressing the right posterior mediastinum?

Accepted Answer

Right arm reach with manual posterior rib depression on right side

Answer

Right arm reach combined with manual posterior rib depression on the right facilitates left thoracic rotation by decompressing the right posterior mediastinum.

Question 3

When treating a patient with a right BC pattern, which muscles are typically over-facilitated and need to be inhibited?

Accepted Answer

Right sternocleidomastoid and right scalenes

Answer

In the right BC pattern, the right cervical muscles including SCM and scalenes are over-facilitated due to cranial rotation left and right rib flare.

Question 4

During PRI manual treatment, what is the purpose of applying posterior-inferior pressure to the right innominate?

Accepted Answer

To reposition the right innominate from a forward-rotated position

Answer

Posterior-inferior manual pressure on the right innominate helps reposition it from the anteriorly rotated position typical in the left AIC pattern.

Question 5

Which breathing technique is integral to PRI manual interventions to facilitate rib repositioning?

Accepted Answer

Diaphragmatic breathing with full exhalation to allow rib depression

Answer

Full exhalation during diaphragmatic breathing allows the dome of the diaphragm to ascend, facilitating rib depression and repositioning elevated ribs.
