GH Flashcards
describe the mechanics of a positive drop arm test
The deltoid contracts creating impingement at the subacromial space
Which type of muscular contraction may involve work performed against the force of resistance of gravity
Concentric
eccentric
isometric
Which screening tests requires the therapist to create translation at the joint
GH/AP glide test
Feagins test
The therapist should ensure their sighting eye is aligned along the x-axis of motion for which of the following active GH tests
Flexion and extension
The plane and axis for GH medial rotation with the joint at 90 degrees of abduction is
Sagital/ x
Concentric work/contraction is classified as force when gravity is
the resistance
Eccentric work/contraction is classified as resistance when gravity is the
force
Speeds testing is positive when which force is created at the long head of the bicep tendon
tensile or compression
Which of the following may create tensile load to a tendon
Eccentric contraction
concentric contraction
isometric contraction
passive streching
Why do the arthrokinematics of roll and glide occur in opposite directions at the GH joint?
The glenoid fossa is smaller than the head of the humerus
Which of the following represents the arthrokinematics occuring at the GH joint durring medial rotation from 90 degrees of abduction
anterior spin and glide
The long head of tricep is eccentrically contracting. which active motions (from standing posture) is occuring?
GH flexion
GH horizontal adduction
If the anterior deltoid concentrically contracts, which GH motion may occure?
Flexion, medial rotation, horizontal adduction, abduction.
Which of the GH position would stretch the latissimus most effectively
Abduction, lateral rotation, with out scap stabilization.
Which motion is the subscap muscle able to control
GH lateral rotation
If gravity is force and the teres minor is eccentrically contracting to control, which motion is occuring
GH medial rotation from 90degrees of GH abduction
durring standing active GH ROM assessment you note excessive superior Roll. Which motion is your client performing
Abduction
The client has hypertonicity in the teres major. what may present durring active GH ROM assessment?
GH adducts durring active lateral rotatation assessment.
weakness of the lateral head of deltoid will affect the active test for GH ______________
horizontal ABduction
What is the approximate amount of GH motion available before scapular motion begins to occur
30 degrees
When applying the GH AP glide test, which axis is the head of the humerus translating along?
Z
The biomechanics of repetive strain injury to the rotator cuff muscles commonly involves
Fatigue caused by repetitive eccentric loading followed by tissue failure
The sternal portion of your clients pec Maj is hypertonic which motions may indicate a compensation?
-The Gh medially rotates durring active test for horizontal abduction
-The GH horisontally adducts durring the active test for GH lateral rotation
A weakness of the deltoid is indicated on which passive test?
none
You are observing the client perform active test for GH horizontal abduction/adduction. If they are creating a compensatory motion, which plane of movement will they deviate from?
Horizontal plane
Your client performs active GH hyperextension. which motoin should occur at the scapula?
Anterior Tilt
Feagins test is posItive. Is it safe to apply resisted resting for GH medial and lateral rotations?
NO
You are prescribing a passive stretch for the long head of biceps. Which is most effective position to use?
GH extension, elbow extended, forarm pronated
A tight posterior deltoid may create a compensatory motion while assessing active GH flexion, what motion?
GH lateral rotation.
The Plane and axis used for performing the drop arm test are
Frontal/Z
GH flexion happens on the _____axis and the ____ plane
x/sagital
The Osteokinematics of GH Flexion are:
Humerus moves anterior/superior to 90 degrees then posterior/superior
to full flexion
The arthrokinematics of GH flexion are
Head of humerus spins and glides posterior/inferior to 90 degrees then
anterior/inferior to full flexion
