Convex-Concave Rules for Mobilizing the SC Joint

This video by Kevin Tolkoff explores the convex-concave rules applied to the sternoclavicular joint, focusing on elevation and retraction movements. It explains how the clavicle's shape changes with movement planes, affecting mobilization techniques. The video provides detailed guidance on mobilizing the clavicle for improved motion, emphasizing the role and slide directions in different planes.

Describe the anatomical characteristics of the sternoclavicular joint.

What is the significance of understanding the convex and concave nature of the clavicle in joint mobilization?

Explain the role and slide directions when the clavicle is moving in the frontal plane.

What is the relationship between the clavicle and the manubrium during sternoclavicular elevation?

How does the movement of the clavicle differ in the transverse plane compared to the frontal plane?

How do the roles and slides differ when the mobile bone is concave versus convex?

What mobilization direction should be applied for sternoclavicular retraction?
