How to Measure the Infrasternal Angle to determine a Wide ISA or a Narrow ISA
The infrasternal angle is a useful test to determine breathing compensatory strategies that influence movement capabilities. Your ability to measure it effectively will provide understanding and guidance as to the best interventions to impact a client’s movement.

A Dynamic Infrasternal Angle Test Example
A lot of practitioners misunderstand the value and assessment of the infrasternal angle (ISA) to determine effective interventions that restore respiratory variability. While you’ll see changes in the extremes of wide vs. narrow ISA with effective interventions, physical structure determines the appearance (wide or narrow) and the available compensatory strategies that may be limiting movement capabilities. Here […]
Infrasternal Angle Video Demonstration
Here’a brief video to show how the lower rib cage and diaphragm interact to alter the appearance of the infrasternal angle.
