AROM, PROM & MMT of Shoulder Flashcards
What movements are possible at the shoulder?
Flexion/Extension Abduction/Adduction Medial/Lateral rotation Elevation/Depression Protraction/Retraction
Would evaluate these movements from anterior and posterior aspects
What functional movements could you ask them to do?
Lifting something Getting something from cupboard Fastening bra Washing hair Taking off jacket
How would you conduct goniometry of flexion?
Pt - half lying or seated, arm at side, palm facing medially
PT - to side and back diagonally
Axis - lateral aspect of humeral head centre, 2.5cm inferior to lateral aspect of acromion
Stationary arm - parallel with midline of trunk
Moveable arm - lateral epicondyle of humerus
Command - keep elbow straight, move arm forwards and upwards as far as you can
How would you conduct goniometry of extension?
Pt - prone, arm rested on plinth, palm facing medially
PT - to side and back diagonally
Axis - lateral aspect of humeral head centre, 2.5cm inferior to lateral aspect of acromion
Stationary arm - parallel with midline of trunk
Moveable arm - lateral epicondyle of humerus
Command - keep elbow straight, move arm backwards as far as you can
How would you conduct goniometry of abduction?
Pt - supine on plinth, palm face medially
PT - to side and back diagonally
Axis - placed over anterior midpoint of GH joint, 1.5cm inferior and lateral to coracoid process
Stationary arm - parallel with mid sternal line
Moveable arm - lateral epicondyle of humerus
Command - keep elbow straight, move arm outwards and upwards toward your head as far as you can, keep your palm facing inwards
How would you conduct goniometry of adduction?
Pt - supine on plinth, palm face medially
PT - to side and back diagonally
Axis - placed over anterior midpoint of GH joint, 1.5cm inferior and lateral to coracoid process
Stationary arm - parallel with mid sternal line
Moveable arm - lateral epicondyle of humerus
Command - keep elbow straight, move arm inwards across body towards opposite side
How would you conduct goniometry of internal rotation?
Pt - supine on plinth, shoulder at 90degrees abduction, elbow flexed at 90 degrees, forearm pronated, towel under humerus
PT - to side
Axis - olecranon process of ulna
Stationary arm - parallel to floor
Moveable arm - parallel to ulna to styloid process
Command - move palm downwards towards floor
How would you conduct goniometry of external rotation?
Pt - supine on plinth, shoulder at 90degrees abduction, elbow flexed at 90 degrees, forearm pronated, towel under humerus
PT - to side
Axis - olecranon process of ulna
Stationary arm - parallel to floor
Moveable arm - parallel to ulna to styloid process
Command - move palm backwards towards plinth
