Postural Respiration Functional Relationships

+ L Add = + L Ext
+ L Add = - L Ext (iliofemoral / pubefemoral laxiety)

+ L Add = Limited R TR
+ L Add = Non-Limited R TR (Right iliolumbar laxiety)

+ R Add = + L Add

+ L Ext = + L Add
+ R Ext = + R Add

L AIC = R BC
L AIC = B BC
L AIC = No BC Pattern

PEC = + L Add and + R Add

R BC = Decreased R HG IR
R BC = Decreased L HG H ABD
R BC = Decreased L HG FLEX
R BC = Full R HG IR (Possible superior labrum anterior & posterior lesions “SLAP”, diagnosis needs scope confirmation; subscap weakness)
R BC = Full L HG FLEX (Left multidirectional instability)
R BC = Full L HG ABD (Right costoclavicular hypermobility or Left anterior shoulder instability)

L BC = Decreased L and R HG IR
L BC = Decreased L and R HG H ABD
L BC = Decreased L and R HG FLEX

KEY:
L = Left
R = Right
B = Bilateral
+ = Positive Test
- = Negative Test
Add = Adduction Drop Test
Ext = Extension Drop Test
TR = Trunk Rotation Test
HG = Humeral Glenoid
IR = Internal Rotation
FLEX = Flexion
H ABD = Horizontal Abduction
( ) = Pathocompensatory issue
