Exam 2 Injury Flashcards
shoulder subjective
what happened hurts? how long? quality of pain? previous history alleviates/aggravates numbness/radiating dominant arm same as throwing/hitting arm noticeable muscle weakness what activities cause instability
shoulder objective
discoloration/deformity/swelling muscle tone/ atrophy dominant arm symmetry/ scapular winging posture/sprengei deformity/ step deformity scars arm position/ vertebral alignment palpation starts at SC joint point tenderness, crepitus,
order of shoulder objective
palpation joint and muscle assessment apley scratch special tests neurological assessment vascular assessment
order of special tests
instability SLAP tendnopathy thoracic outlet scapular dyskinesis
sternoclavicular joint sprain
subjective
FOOSH or lateral force; sometimes traction
force; receiving an anterior blow to clavicle with
shoulder in extension; c/o pain over joint, may
experience paresthesia in upper extremity due
to swelling/compression
sternoclavicular joint sprain
objective
swelling over jt; deformity if dislocated; maybe discoloration; pt tend; sometimes crepitus; AROM painful c abd (@ end ROM), flex &/or horiz abd, protraction/retraction; + SC Glide test
sternoclavicular joint sprain
plan
immobilize; ice, ROM leading to strength
Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain
subjective
FOOSH in flex or direct blow; pain over
AC jt, lat deltoid &/or lat neck
Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain
objective
: Pt tend AC jt; may have step deformity;
AROM dec c flex, horiz add & motions
above 90 degs; PROM same results;
RROM dec due to pain; + Crossover, +
Piano Key, + Traction, + Apley’s Scratch,
+ Compression
Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain
assesment
grade I-VI
acromioclavicular joint sprain
plan
Grade 1 – Ice, Protect/RTP as tolerated,
Grade 2-6 - Immobilize, ice, may need x-ray;
ROM ex progressing to proprioception &
strength; may be surgically repaired
(controversial)
rotator cuff tendionpathy/subacromial bursitis
subjective
Muscle imbalance b/t IR & ER, *poor
scapular control, capsular laxity or secondary
due to *impingement; usually affects
supraspinatus tendon; poor vascularization
leads to inc injury and dec healing; shape of
acromion process may predispose (see Box 15-
5, p. 667)
rotator cuff tendionpathy/subacromial bursitis
objective
Pain progressing before to during to after
activity; achy pain to begin c; + Drop Arm,
+ Empty Can, + SRT, +Scapular
Dyskinesis
rotator cuff tendionpathy/subacromial bursitis
plan
Dec inflam c ice, US &/or NSAIDS;
allow rest in Grade 2-3; strengthen
scapular and RC muscles; correct
biomechanics prn
subacromial impingement
subjective
Dec space under coracoacromial arch leads to inflam of RC tendons (see p. 667, box 15-5 for acromion shape classification), subacromial bursae &/or long head biceps tendon also inflammed; overuse, *scapular weaknesses; c/o pain under acromion process and may radiate down arm
subacromial impingement
objective
May be guarding; pt tend greater tuberosity & bicipital groove; AROM may be limited/painful above 90 degs abd, IR/ER, flex may be weak/painful, may experience painful arc; + Neers, + Hawkins-Kennedy, + Empty Can, + SRT, \+ Scapular Dyskinesis
subacromial impingement
plan
ce, US, NSAIDS, rest, *scapular
strengthening, *review mechanics, RC
strengthening,
