Learn how to perform a proximal radioulnar joint posterior glide to effectively increase forearm pronation in patients. This manual therapy technique focuses on the proximal radioulnar joint to address mobility restrictions. By placing the patient in a supine position with the elbow flexed to approximately 70 degrees, clinicians can accurately isolate the joint structures. The arm is then supinated to an additional 20 degrees to prepare for the specific glide. To execute the maneuver, stabilize the ulna with one hand while applying the posterior force to the radial head. This radial head mobilization is a standard approach for physical therapy techniques aimed at restoring functional range of motion. Consistent application of this pronation mobilization helps patients regain necessary forearm rotation for daily activities, serving as an effective elbow joint mobilization strategy.

Struggling to isolate the subscapularis during standing internal rotations? Learn a simple band modification that prevents the pecs and lats from taking over the movement. In this clinical breakdown, we explore why the traditional "towel under the arm" method often fails in shoulder rehab. When patients squeeze the towel, they actively adduct the arm, which fires up the larger internal rotators—exactly what we want to avoid when targeting the rotator cuff. By utilizing a resistance band to maintain isometric abduction, we can leverage the neurological principle of reciprocal inhibition. This effectively shuts off the pecs and lats, ensuring the subscapularis does the heavy lifting. 🕒 Video Chapters: 0:00 - The Goal: Targeting the Subscapularis 0:15 - The Problem with Pecs and Lats 0:24 - The Band Modification (Isometric Abduction) 0:38 - The Science: Reciprocal Inhibition Explained 0:50 - Why the Traditional "Towel Trick" Often Fails 💡 Takeaway: Setting the shoulder down and back while abducting into the band isolates the subscapularis cleanly and efficiently.

Stop guessing on your IT band assessments! This video demonstrates the crucial difference between the traditional Ober's Test and a modified, locked technique for significantly more accurate and consistent results when assessing iliotibial band tightness. In this installment of the Technique Peek Series, Tim Tyler walks you through performing the Ober's Test, a common physical therapy assessment for IT band flexibility. First, see the traditional Ober's Test method demonstrated (0:05) and observe potential inaccuracies as the leg drifts or compensates. Discover why this standard approach might not give you the clearest picture of true IT band restriction. Then, learn the modified Ober's Test (0:20), sometimes referred to as the locked Ober's Test, based on insights from Dr. James Andrews. This variation involves positioning the bottom leg at 90 degrees of knee flexion and having the patient stabilize by holding the table. See how this setup (0:30) creates a more stable pelvis and consistent starting position, leading to a more reliable assessment of the iliotibial band and tensor fasciae latae (TFL). Understand why this refined technique (0:36) minimizes compensatory movements and provides a clearer indication of IT band tightness compared to the traditional method. This clinical assessment technique is essential for physical therapists, athletic trainers, chiropractors, and students performing musculoskeletal evaluations, especially when investigating potential causes of lateral knee pain or conditions like IT band syndrome. Ensure your hip assessments are precise and reliable! *Timestamps:* 0:00 Introduction - Technique Peek Series 0:05 Traditional Ober's Test Demonstration & Drawbacks 0:20 Modified (Locked) Ober's Test: Setup & Positioning 0:30 Modified (Locked) Ober's Test: Performing the Test 0:36 Comparing Traditional vs. Modified: Why Accuracy Improves 0:41 Technique Credit (Dr. James Andrews) & Outro #ObersTest #ITBand #IliotibialBand #PhysicalTherapy #TechniquePeekSeries #PTAssessment #ClinicalAssessment #HipAssessment #ITBandSyndrome #FlexibilityTest #MobilityTest #AthleticTraining #SportsMedicine #ManualTherapy #PhysicalTherapist #Musculoskeletal #techniquepeekseries #oberstest #itbandsyndrome #exam #evaluation #physicaltherapy #education #OberTest #PhysicalTherapy #Physiotherapy #KneePain #HipPain #techniquepeekseries #DrJamesNicholas #PhysicalExam #MedicalEducation #ClinicalSkills #Assessment ========================================== **GET SOCIAL WITH US** ========================================== *Facebook* ➡︎ https://www.facebook.com/ProfessionalSeminarsLTD/ *Instagram* ➡︎ https://www.instagram.com/professionalseminars/ *YouTube* ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXs1zBnFGEXEHa7KASPtSMQ *LinkedIn* ➡︎ https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/professional-seminars/ *Pinterest* ➡︎ https://www.pinterest.com/ProfessionalSeminars/ *Tik Tok* ➡︎ https://www.tiktok.com/@professionalseminars *X.com (Twitter)* ➡︎ https://twitter.com/ProSeminarsLTD ========================================= **USEFUL LINKS** ========================================= *Website* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/ *Courses* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/schedule *Blog* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/blog ======================================== **CHECK OUT OUR PODCASTS** ======================================== *IN THE MIND OF PODCAST* *Website* ➡︎ https://www.professionalseminars.com/podcast *YouTube* ➡︎ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_iVn5v09E5af-VI2gn1mvwgvTZ-6-wKR&si=j9KaY0BMxyW6saeg *Apple* ➡︎ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-mind-of/id1508337827 *Spotify* ➡︎ https://open.spotify.com/show/5maXs800b5nsu81b1B1lHl . . . . *THE SPORTS MEDICINE RESEARCH RUNDOWN* *YouTube* ➡︎ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_iVn5v09E5YOL7_vlXOE50ZxSucNXAQQ *Spotify* ➡︎ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sportmed-research-rundown ======================================= *DISCLAIMER* ======================================= **These Videos are provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be used as a replacement for appropriate medical treatment.

Are you targeting the right muscles when you exercise? In this Technique Peek Series video, Andrew Eom, DPT, breaks down exactly how to do clamshells properly to maximize effectiveness and safety. While clamshells are frequently assigned in the clinic, we often see patients performing different, incorrect variations of the movement. To get the most out of this exercise, correct positioning is key. You must lie on your side with a slight bend in the knee, ensuring your pelvis and shoulders are stacked directly on top of each other.

Are you really getting an accurate measure of your patient's shoulder range of motion? Many clinicians make a common mistake during assessment, leading to a false "full range of motion" reading. In this quick video, Abdul demonstrates the correct way to assess shoulder internal and external rotation by focusing on one critical step: stabilization. You'll see the improper technique for external rotation—just moving the arm back—and then the correct method, which involves stabilizing the spine of the scapula to reveal the true, often limited, range. For internal rotation, Abdul shows how to stabilize the shoulder (using the coracoid process or your own forearm) to prevent compensation and see the actual limitation. Watch now to instantly improve your shoulder assessment technique!

*Unlock the Key to Identifying Sympathetically Driven Pain with Rotation Testing!* This video dives deep into a crucial assessment technique used to identify individuals whose pain may be driven by their sympathetic nervous system. Learn how to perform and interpret connectivity testing by observing limitations in lower trunk, thoracic, and cervical rotation. In this detailed demonstration, you'll see how a clinician assesses a patient's ability to maintain specific rotational positions under minimal resistance. We explore how the inability to maintain these positions, especially during cervical rotation, can indicate a stronger sympathetic influence on their pain. This understanding can lead to more targeted and effective treatment strategies, potentially incorporating reflex techniques. *Watch now to learn how to:* 0:01 - Understand the concept of sympathetically driven pain and its implications. 0:14 - Perform and interpret connectivity testing for lower trunk rotation. 0:38 - Apply connectivity testing to assess cervical rotation and its significance. 0:59 - Recognize the connection between limitations in rotation and a potentially dominant sympathetic nervous system. 1:01 - Gain insight into how this assessment might influence treatment approaches, including reflex techniques.
