A
  • Rotator cuff impingement or older age
  • Symptoms are pain over lateral deltoid and more prominent with overhead activity and at night, also weakness
17
Q

What speciality test do you perform for a suspected Rotator Cuff injury?

A
  • Painful Arc*** best one
  • Neer impingement
  • Hawkins impingement
  • empty can
  • Drop arm

Diagnostics:

Acute:

  • Rotator cuff injuries most common
  • Fracture dislocation
  • AC joint injuries
  • Myofascial injury

Chronic: >6months

  • rotator cuff disorders
  • adhesive capsulitis

Q

When the scapula depresses what happens to the clavicle?

A

scapula depresses and the distal clavicle at the AC joint will inferiorly glide and proiximal clavicle at the SC joint will superiorly glide.

Scapula elevates the distall clavicle will supereiorly gilde at AC joint and Prosimal clavicle will inferiorly glide at SC joint

21
Q

With abduction what happens to Scapular motion and clavicular motion at AC and SC joint?

A

Depress scapula, inferior glide of AC and superior glide at SC

22
Q

Abduction what happens with scapula and clavicle?

A
  • Scapula will elevate
  • Clavicle at the AC joint will superiorly glide
  • Clavicle at the SC joint will inferirly glide
23
Q

What happens to the scapula and clavicle with flexion of the shoulder?

A
  • Protract scap
  • Anterior glide of clavicle at the AC joint
  • Posterior glide of clavicle at the SC joint
24
Q

What happens to the scapula and clavicle with shoyulder extension?

A
  • Retraction scap
  • Posterior glide of clavicle at AC
  • Anterior glide of clavicle at SC joint
25
Q

What happens with internal and external rotation of the shoulder at the scapula and clavicle?

A
  • N/A for scapula and clavicle at SC joint
  • Clavicle at AC joint will internally rotate with internal rotation and externally rotate with external rotation
