Video Transcription

So in summary, we're looking at areas, again, diagnosing motion of the cervical thoracic junction in the first rib. Just remember a few things. Use your analogy. Driving a car.  We have rotation, turning the wheel. We have a side bending, pressing on the gas, pressing on the brakes. Side bending right, side bending left.  Right hand placements, thumbs over the first rib. Your other hand's right above the clavicle, so you can feel all the structures in the cervical thoracic junction.  The wheel is rotation. Which side does it move easier to? If you turn the wheel, what was easier to the right? You rotated to the right.  If I press on the gas, side bend to the right, press on the brakes, side bend to the left, see which side's move easier to. Seems to be easier on the right, pressing on the gas.  We're rotating, we're side bend to the right. And that's our assessment of the cervical thoracic junction.

Video Summary

The video discusses diagnosing motion in the cervical thoracic junction and the first rib using a car analogy. Rotation is likened to turning the wheel, and side bending to pressing the gas or brakes. The process involves assessing ease of rotation and side bending to determine which movements are more natural or restricted. Proper hand placement is key: thumbs over the first rib and the other hand above the clavicle. The goal is to assess whether movements are easier to the right or left, aiding in evaluating the cervical thoracic junction's function.
