Great video but I thought ipislateral rotation of the csp opens the facets on that side and closes the IVF on the same side?

[@jacobcentala8823]

Any particular reason you stop at C5 and don't look at upper cervical (C1-C4) for myotomes/sensation?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

No. I just have such a busy schedule that I hit issues that are more common. Good question. I may push up the line sometime

[@ManishSharma-if8lr]

Hi paul at @2.40 isn't elbow flexion a c6 myotome ?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Some C6 overlap but primarily C5. I've seen It many times.

Do you perform cervical spine clearing for all shoulder evals?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Hi Michael, I don't but probably on 75% of shoulder patients.
Those who present with a super clear shoulder issue I bypass the clearing.

Hi Paul, if a person previously fractured their C-Spine and is having symptoms ie. different sensation in the arms & hands, positive hoffmans sign, babinski sign. Said person is also hyper reflexive and clonus on one side only. The person has told their doctor about said symptoms. The doctor continues to do nothing. What would you recommend said person do? Thank you Paul.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Might consider having a visit with a physiatrist. They are very good at sorting these diagnoses out and ordering appropriate testing.

[@Joshuaversa]

Ortho EVAL Pal With Paul Marquis unfortunately the physiatrist I am seeing doesn’t want to send me to a neurologist and the appropriate testing. IE. MRI.
