33. Ice Hockey: Helmet
Determine the helmet size by
measuring the circumference of
head about ½ - 1” above
eyebrow.
Adjust the chin strap so that it fits
firmly under the chin. You want
the helmet to fit snug enough so
that it doesn’t shift, but not to the
point of where it feels
uncomfortable.
If you feel pressure or pinching,
the helmet is too small.
34. Mouth Guard: Stock/Bite & Boil
Fitting snugly over the upper teeth,
mouth guards protect the entire oral
region from traumatic injury,
preserving both the esthetic
appearance and the health of the
smile.
These mouth guards are usually made
from thermoplastic and are easily
located at most sporting goods stores.
First, the thermoplastic must be
immersed in hot water to make it
pliable, and then it must be pressed on
the child’s teeth to create a custom
mold.
Offer more protection
35. Mouth Guard: Custom
Custom mouth guards are made
from exact and precise models of
an individual's own teeth.
They are made of resilient and tear
resistant materials ensuring a
proper fit; are comfortable, easy to
clean, and do not restrict breathing.
A properly fitted mouthguard must
be protective, comfortable,
resilient, tear resistant, odorless,
tasteless, not bulky and have
excellent retention, fit, and
sufficient thickness in critical areas.

47. STRETCHING:
Pectoralis Major:
Sternal Head
The pectoralis major is the large,
fanlike muscle that extends from your
breastbone and the top of your
abdominals toward your upper arm. It
sits in front of your rib cage and helps
you to rotate your arm inward as well
as draw your shoulder blades forward.
By stretching the pectoralis major, you
can extend the range of motion in
sideways abduction, extension, flexion
and the rotation of the long bone in
your arm.
When you perform stretches, you can
target different areas of the pectoralis
major by altering the angle of
abduction, or distance away from the
midline of your body.
48. STRETCHING:
Pectoralis Major
Clavicular Head
More abduction with your arms
raised overhead at an angle of
135 degrees will focus on the

muscle, release the stretch.
If your shoulders are very
flexible, perform the stretch
with your arms at a higher
level.
49. STRETCHING:
Pectoralis Minor
Location: Hides behind the
pectoralis major, connecting
from the front of your shoulder
blade to your ribs

stabilize the shoulder blade,
while also helping with small
little movements
Detailed Function: stabilizes,
depresses, protracts and
downwardly rotate the scapula

61. STRETCHING:
Corocobrachialis
The Coracobrachialis is a deep
muscle within the shoulder that
often gets tight and affects the
shoulder position
instead of bringing your arm
straight out to the side, bring it
back about 45 degrees from
straight out to the side.
You should feel a light stretch
around the bicep area. Look
for a light stretch, hold for a
couple of seconds, and then
return to the start.
62. STRETCHING:
Long Head of Biceps
Symptoms of biceps tendon
inflammation typically include pain
at the front of the shoulder where
the long head of the biceps muscle
attaches.
A test to isolate the biceps tendon
is to get the patient to lift a straight
arm up in front of them against
resistance which should reproduce
pain at the front of the shoulder.
Patient position: Supine with arm
off table in Abduction
Assist in stretch
63. STRETCHING:
Pronator Teres
Externally rotate the arm (roll
the biceps toward the top).
You can also do this exercise
with a firmly planted vertical
pole. Or in Supine with arm
extended

keep the elbow straight.
64. Pronation refers to the inward
roll of the arm during normal
motion
Supination (or under-
pronation) is the opposite of
pronation and refers to the
outward roll of the arm during
normal motion.
