2. A patient walks into an emergency department after shoveling snow and feeling something "pop" in her neck. She also notes increasing breathing difficulties, weakness in her arm as she tries to lift the shovel to remove more snow, and numbness and tingling in her thumb and first finger. She is sent to the imaging center for an MRI of the cervical spine. The radiologist finds herniation of intervertebral discs (IVDs) of C2 and C5. Given these findings, determine two (2) nerves (of those listed in Table 14.9) that are likely affected and note your rationale for each. a. Nerve affected: Rationale: b. Nerve affected: Rationale:

While throwing a two-handed overhead pass, a basketball player is hit on the anterior right arm. The arm is forced into excessive external rotation, abduction, and extension. The player experiences an immediate burning pain and prickly sensation that radiates down the arm into the hand, as well as an inability to raise the arm. What injury should be suspected? Is it a serious injury? A high school field hockey coach notices during the practice warm-up that one of the players appears to have a "stiff neck." What questions should the AT ask as part of the history component of an assessment? Following practice, a 15-year-old butterfly swimmer is complaining of localized pain and tenderness in the mid-back region over the thoracic spine. He reports that the pain came on gradually and only hurts during the execution of the stroke. How should the AT handle the situation? Why? A middle school student reports to physical education class with a "wry neck." The activity for the day is basketball, and the student is anxious to participate. Should the PE teacher permit the student to participate in non-contact activities during the class? Why? During football practice, a 16-year-old executes a tackle on an opposing player. In making the contact, his head was in a slightly flexed position. The player walks off the field. He tells the AT that his neck hurts, but otherwise he feels fine. What actions should the AT take? Why? A high school wrestler comes off the mat complaining of pain after having his neck twisted by an opponent. Following an assessment, the AT believes the wrestler may have a cervical strain. How should the AT manage the condition? A 17-year-old cheerleader reports to practice complaining of aching pain during trunk flexion, aggravated with resisted hyperextension that produces sharp shooting pains into the low back and down the posterior leg. How should the AT handle this situation? Why?
