Cervical and Thoracic Spine

Power and Glory

Classes started again today, and we hit the ground running in our positioning lab with technique for the cervical and thoracic spine.  We covered AP, Odontoid, Lateral, and the Obliques on the cervical spine, and AP, Lateral, and Swimmers on the thoracic spine. 

This semester, I’m trying something a little different in my positioning lab.  I’m taking my video camera to lab with me and videotaping the positioning demonstrations so I can refer back to them later.  I was hoping to be able to post those video clips on YouTube to share, but one of the students who is in the video as our ‘patient’ doesn’t want to be on YouTube, so I still need to try to convince her to let me put the videos online.  Hopefully I’ll be successful.  We’ll see how that goes.  I really wish I had my video camera at the beginning of last semester so I could have recorded everything, but I didn’t get this camera until mid-December…
