16
Q

Hemi Arm: Pain

A

Pain in sh. sublexations, gravity & poor handeling

17
Q

Sh, Pain types

A

Joint paint (where is pain coming from, what type aka harp dull)
Muscle pain (affected by speed of stretch)
Altered sensativity pain (tholamic pain) = distroffla program aka load and carry
Sh. hand syndrome ( CRPD) = increase pt mvmt
Brachial plexus traction (poor handeling)
Rotator cuff tear (ask about sh. hx) related to quick mvmts = use moist heat
Adhesive Changes = decreased AROM

18
Q

Sh. Pain Eval

A

Hx.
Age
Transfer Techniques (avoid using sh to mobilize)
Activity level (HEP for stretching & ROM)
Available mvmt
Eval of Pain : nature, location, elements that intensify & deminish pain.

19
Q

Sh Pain Eval : Visual Inspection

A
Posture 
Atrophy 
Early signs of RSD 
GH malaignmant 
neglect 
tone 
PROM 
Motor Performance
20
Q

Sh. Pain Tx

A
Normalize tone 
Proper handling 
ROM 
Functional use 
Sh. support 
address primary pain causes
21
Q

Sh. Subluxation

A

Partial Dislocation or separation of joint surfaces

22
Q

Causes of Subluxations

A

Abnormal scapular position
Loss of bilateral muscle firing
Weakness
Spasticity

23
Q

Inferior Subluxation

A

Scapula = Downward rotation
Humerus = IR, ADD, below inferior lip
Elbow = ext, pronation
(pic of guy in W/C)

24
Q

Inferior Subluxation TX ideas

A

ROM & Scap mobility
Rotate Scap upward & hold hand placement to maintain correct alignment
Trays/Armrest (pt must be able to unstrap it)
Support affected Sh. so gravity does not continue to over stretch muscles
Use estim tapping

25
Q

Anterior Subluxation

A

Scapula = Downward rotation, elevated, wining,
Humerus = hyper /, IR, humeral head inf & FWD
Elbow = flex, either pron or sup
(pic of old lady in black unitard)

26
Q

Anterior Subluxation Tx Ideas

A
Dont allow arm to be behind back
Dont go to far Fwd 
use FF in Sh. 
Increase tricep activity 
Pt. education
Bed positioning
27
Q

Superior Subluxation

A

Scpula = elevated, ABD
Humerus = IR, ABD, humeral head lodged under acromion
Elbow - sup & wrist flexion
(Guy with his back turned in the pic)

28
Q

Superior Subluxation Tx Ideas

A

Teach FF vs HZ ABD or pt will get tendonitis
Teach prevenative motions to avoid tendonitis
Start with FF lower bc it is easier

29
Q

Subluxation Reducation

A

Moblize
Realign
Activate

30
Q

Sh. Slings: Pros

A
Protection 
Control
Prevention
Pressure Relief
Support
31
Q

Sh Slings : Cons

A
Learned nonuse 
Shortness of soft tissue 
dependence 
immoblize 
fails to correct malaignmeent 
interferes w/ normal mvmt 
Interfers w/ function 
blocks sensory input 
hinders balance 
physcological message
32
Q

UE Tx Principles

A
hand leads motion 
teach visual tracking of UE 
Use common objects 
dissociation of hand 
variety 
vertical orientation 
challange BOS 
work at highest functional level 
practice
33
Q
