"Rotate the transducer 90 degrees to obtain a longitudinal (sagittal) view of the SCJ. The sternal head of the sternocleidomastoid can be identified in an oblique longitiundal plane 9."
"Comparison with the contralateral SCJ can be helpful to detect asymmetric change ref."
"Ask the patient to perform specific movements (e.g. shoulder elevation, retraction, or protraction) to evaluate the joint's function and to detect any abnormalities such as dynamic subluxation ref."
