Looking up does not aggravate symptoms is an indicator for which classification? | Thoracic manipulation |
Cervical ext < 30 is an indicator for which classification? | Thoracic manipulation |
Flat T3-T5 is an indicator for which classification? | Thoracic manipulation |
Recent onset (< 4 weeks) is an indicator for? | Cervical mobility classification |
Rarely have upper quarter symptoms (AROM does not peripheralize Sx, No signs of nerve root compression) is an indicator for? | Cervical mobility classification |
AROM discrepancy (SB, Rot) is an indicator for? | Cervical mobility classification |
Referral of pain into the upper extremities\hand is an indicator for? | Cervical centralization category |
Radiculopathy is an indicator for? | Cervical centralization category |
