Treatment to the thoracic spine region is often performed as an adjunct treatment addressing a secondary impairment to injuries at adjacent body structures. List a specific intervention and your rationale for a T Spine exercise in the case of: Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (Shoulder) Degenerative Disc Disease in the Cervical Spine (Neck) Lumbar Facet Joint Dysfunction (Low Back)

Scenario C (Questions 32-33): A marathon runner reports unilateral pain in the right posterior hip region that correlates with Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) dysfunction. Based on clinical findings, the right innominate is suspected to be positioned in chronic anterior rotation, causing SIJ compression. Following successful correction of the innominate position, what exercises are most appropriate for preventing return of SIJ Dysfunction returning to maligned positioning?

Scenario B (Questions 30-31): An 18-year-old javelin thrower reports progressive numbness and tingling in her forearm and entire hand, primarily exacerbated by long practice sessions after prolonged sitting in class. Examination suggests Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). Which of the following treatments would treat possible nerve compression sites?

Scenario D (Questions 34-35): A weightlifter is diagnosed with chronic Lateral Epicondylitis (“Tennis Elbow”). The pain is localized to the lateral epicondyle and extensor mass, worsening with gripping and wrist extension. The primary muscle implicated is the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB). In the re-load phase of EDUREP model of tendinopathy rehabilitation for lateral epicondylitis, after acute pain management, the most appropriate local resistance training strategy required to fortify the common extensor tendon is:

Scenario A (Questions 28-29): A collegiate swimmer reports chronic anterior shoulder pain, specifically exacerbated when reaching overhead during the late phase of shoulder flexion/abduction. Clinical assessment suggests Subacromial Impingement involving the Long Head of the Biceps Tendon (LHBT) due to hypermobility issues.
