Shoulder Girdle Complete
We had an interesting turn of events in our positioning lab today. We were scheduled to learn the clavicle, AC joints, and scapula positions, which we did. We decided to ask our instructor to go ahead and test us on these positions because we weren’t scheduled to take that test for two more weeks, and we wanted to get them out of the way before we dive into the lower extremities tomorrow in class. So, we tested and now have a few more pre-comps we can start working on in clinical this week. Just like last time, this was a hat draw method of testing, so we didn’t have to demonstrate each position. We had to know them all because we didn’t know what we would draw, and I got the most difficult one of the bunch I think. The superoinferior axial shoulder view is what I came up with from the hat. I knocked it out though… perfect score on the positioning test. This is the only shoulder view that uses an angled tube, and it’s a table-top exam rather than at the wall bucky. So tomorrow, we start lectures on the lower limb anatomy and positioning. There are a lot of positions to learn here, so getting a head start will be nice…
