•Facilitation of Bilateral
Scapular Stability
–Due to the closely-lying
dorsal scapular nerve and long
thoracic nerve, the rhomboids and serratus anterior muscles
are often affected in children with a C5, C6 injury.
Close attention must be paid to these muscle groups.
Will usually require external support in the form of Theratogs, DAMOs, Spios, Super Wrap, Support Tape, etc.
Kinesiotape may be used as well to facilitate these muscles or to inhibit the excessively strong ones
–Unaffected scapula is prone
to overuse injury due to muscle
compensation so must be closely monitored throughout treatment.
