See http://motionpalpation.neuroimpulse.net/ for a free motion palpation e-course for chiropractors. Dr Neil Davies, Chiropractor, describes the scapulohumeral reflex and its application to confirmation of the C5 subluxation, compression to the dorsal scapular nerve or scapular subluxation. He maintains that chiropractors who use neurological tests as well as motion palpation findings may have increased success in confirming the vertebral subluxation.

  • In addition isn't this reflex evaluating the upper cervical innervated trapezius muscle? With a downward tap of the scapula (correct procedure) you are stretching this muscle, causing a spindle response & subsequent contraction. My understanding is a visible movement of the shoulder is hyperreflexive indicating upper motor neuron pathology above the mid-cervical spine.

  • Long thoracic nerve is extremely well documented as a C5-C7 nerve. Why would you publish this?
