The neck, Thoracic Inlet and Outlet, the Axilla and Chest Wall, the Ribs, Sternum and Clavicles.

In youth the first costal cartilage are pliant, and the spine and its ligaments are resilient, thus ensuring adequate 'give'. When the cartilages calcify, arthrodial joints may form within the ossifying cartilage, the sites being inconstant - sometimes adjacent to the sternum, and sometimes nearer the costo-chondral junction. When inadequate a second joint may form.

The least mobile type of synovial joint is a gliding (arthrodial) joint. This joint has flat articular surfaces and only allows short gliding or sliding movements between them. Examples include intervertebral, intertarsal and intercarpal joints.

Knee pain: SP 10, SP 9, ST 34, ST 36, GB 34, Xiyan (on either side of the patellar ligament, Heding (at the apex of the patella). The trigger point in the vastus medialis muscle refers to the anteromedial knee. Consider myofascial contributions to knee pain from elsewhere, too, coupled with potential arthrodial problems. Additional trigger points.
Two-dimensional versus three-dimensional measurement of infant cervical active motion

Several methods have been determined to be effective in measuring static head alignment or passive cervical motion (PCM) in infants with CMT, including the use of a goniometer, arthrodial protractor and supine photographs (Klackenberg, Elfving, Hanglund-Akerlink, and Carlberg, 2005; Luxford, Hale, and Piggot, 2009; Öhman, Mårdbrink, Stensby, and Beckung, 2011; Rahlin and Sarmiento, 2010). Rahlin and Sarmiento (2010) used a protractor to measure postural head deviation from midline in supine photographs of infants with CMT demonstrating fair to good intra-rater reliability (ICC 0.79–0.84) and inter-rater reliability (ICC 0.72–0.99). Klackenberg, Elfving, Hanglund-Akerlink, and Carlberg (2005) found fair to good agreement (ICC 0.74–0.90) comparing infant goniometric measurements to photographs in which a protractor was used to measure passive cervical lateral flexion and goniometers were used to measure rotation. Measurement of the same photos one hour later revealed good test-retest reliability (ICC 0.77–0.95).

In the last few years also, osteopathic manipulative treatment and osteopathy in the cranial field have received widespread attention for treating chronic pain symptoms.[16–22] Osteopathic manipulative treatment is characterized by manipulative techniques in order to improve physiologic function and/or to support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic dysfunction including the skeletal, arthrodial, and myofascial structures, and their related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements.[23] Osteopathic manipulative treatment techniques are individualized to the patient and are based on multiple factors (age, patient's response to osteopathic manipulative treatment, physical condition of the patient, etc.). Treatment techniques can be grouped into three categories: direct techniques that engage the restrictive barrier, indirect techniques that disengage the restrictive barrier and direct–indirect techniques. Osteopathic manipulative treatment techniques that have been used in this trial are listed in the Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology.[23]
The effectiveness of stretching for infants with congenital muscular torticollis
Published in Physical Therapy Reviews, 2019
Currently, the diagnosis of CMT in healthcare practice is usually based upon clinical assessment, incorporating a perinatal history and physical examination [8]. This typically includes measurement of passive cervical ROM through the use of an arthrodial protractor, palpation of the affected SCM and cervical muscle function assessment [9]. In addition, ultrasonography may be used on the affected SCM to screen the severity of fibrosis and help confirm CMT diagnosis [10, 11].
