Acromioclavicular joint Sprain occurs mostly during _______________
athletic events
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain clinical MOI
trauma or fall on tip of shoulder
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: Reported findings
Pain with reaching across body, Pain with overhead activities, pain with weightbearing on arms or elbows, and pain with sleeping on the injured shoulder
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: exam findings
palpable and observable displacement between the clavicular and acromial articular surfaces, pain with ac joint accessory movement tests, pain with palpation/provocation of AC join/ligament, and pain with sheer testing of the AC joint
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: palpation
pt is seated and PT standing, detect side to side for step-off
Step-off typically implies _________________; grades 1-3 can be _______, grades 4-6 are more severe and require ____________
ligament tearing; rehabbed; surgery
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: special tests
sulcus sign
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: manual therapy
AC joint mobs, thoracic mobilization of shoulder ROM is limited, soft tissue mobs (delts, upper traps, biceps tendon, and RTC), and PROM
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: capsular pattern
ER>ABD>IR>FLX
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: Mobility for high irritability
Codman’s or arm circles, table stretch in sitting (FLX, ABD, ER), sleeper stretch in side-lying (IR), Supine ER stretch, AAROM in supine (ER, ABD, FLX)
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: mobility for low to moderate irritability
AAROM cane in supine (can add weight then progress to standing), pec major stretching (doorway), AAROM in standing, and closed chain gentle ROM exercises (table stretches, physio ball roll outs in standing on table, wall slides)
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: motor control for high irritability
don’t do
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: motor control for moderate irritability
Scapular squeezes, quadruped push-up with camel, prone I, Y, Ts (start unilateral, can do on physioball in pt is uncomfy in prone), Standing TB rows, Standing TB extensions, and Standing TB ER in 90/90
Acromioclavicular joint Sprain: motor control for low irritability
increase reps and sets, resistance, and weight of moderate exercises; body blade exercises; lawn mower pulls

associated with multiple different pathologies
Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder: reported findings
insidious onset of lateral/global shoulder pain and stiffness, progressive increased pain, gradual loss of motion, sleep disturbing night pain, positions of comfort include arm at pt’s side or in mid-range, and shoulder pain that worsens with GHJ end of range positions or functional overhead tasks
Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder: stage 1
Duration of symptoms 0-3 months, significant night pain, pain with AROM and PROM, and equally limited in all motions
Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder: stage 2 Freezing state
Duration of symptoms: 3 to 9 months, Chronic pain in addition to pain with active and passive ROM, and Significant limitations in all motions
Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder: stage 3 frozen state
Duration of symptoms: 9 to 15 months, Minimal pain except at end ROM, and Significant limitations of ROM with rigid end feel
