Exam 3- Shoulder Flashcards
Apprehension of shoulder- positive sign
Apprehension displayed by the athlete
Apprehension of shoulder- how to perform
Grab the arm, place one hand on the scapula and tries to push the shoulder into external rotation
Drop arm- structure/condition
Integrity of the supaspinatus
Drop arm- positive sign
Increased pain or unable to hold up arm
Drop arm- how to perform
Individual takes arm all the way above, from 0 to 180 degrees. Drops them down to 90 degrees and pauses
Empty can- structure/condition
Integrity of the supraspinatus
Empty can- positive sign
Pain in the affected area, inability to hold up arm
Empty can- how to perform
Raise arms to 180 degrees, then down to 90, internal rotate 30 degrees, then “empty out cans.” Can add pressure if needed.
Hawkins-Kennedy impingement test- structure/condition
Impingement of the supraspinatus or the bicep tendon
Hawkins-Kennedy impingement test- positive sign
Increased pain
Hawkins-Kennedy impingement test- how to perform
Pick the arm up and internally rotate it (hawk, bird, motion)
Yergasons- structure/condition
Integrity of the bicep tendon
Yergasons- positive test
Pain or the tendon popping out of the bicepital groove where the athlete palates
Yergasons- how to perform
Resist supinations with external rotation
Neer shoulder impingement- structure/condition
Impingement of supraspinatus
Neer shoulder impingement- positive sign
Pain
Neer shoulder impingement- how to perform
Passively abduct the shoulder near the ear
Sternoclavical (SC) joint
Joint between the sternum and clavicle
Allows for rotation during movements like shrugging the shoulders and reaching above the head
Supported by:
Anterior and posterior SC ligaments
Costoclavicular ligament
Interclavicular ligament
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint
Lies between the acromion process and the clavicle
Has limited motion
Primary ligament: AC ligament
Secondary ligaments: coracoacromial ligament, coracoclavicular ligament
Glenohumeral (GH) joint
True shoulder joint
Glen kid fossa of the scapula
Very shallow
Head of the humerus (3/4 times larger than glenoid (VB/plunger)
Lacking in bony stability
GH joint (continued)
Joint is deepened by a meniscus like structure called the glenoid labrum
Functions to add stability
GH joint stabilizers
Stabilized by 2 types of stabilizers Static stabilizers Joint capsule Several Glenohumeral ligaments Dynamic stabilizers Rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis)
Bursa
Subacromial (clinically most important)
Nerve supply
Brachial plexus (C5-T1)
Blood supply
Subclavian, axillary artery
Shoulder movements
Flexion (180) & extension (80-90) Abduction (180) and adduction Horizontal adduction/flexion (180) Horizontal abduction/flexion (60) External rotation (90) Internal rotation (90)
