Oregon Spinal (Thoracic) Range of Motion is a physical therapy assessment and treatment procedure used to evaluate the mobility and flexibility of the thoracic spine. It involves testing the range of motion of the thoracic spine in all six directions: flexion, extension, lateral flexion, hyperextension, rotation, and side bending. This assessment can help identify restrictions in movement, weakness, and tightness in the thoracic spine, which can then be addressed with targeted exercises and manual therapy. There are two main types of Oregon Spinal (Thoracic) Range of Motion: Active and Passive. Active Range of Motion is performed by the patient with minimal assistance from the clinician, while Passive Range of Motion is performed by the clinician with the patient remaining relaxed. Both techniques are used to assess and improve thoracic spine mobility and flexibility.
