29
Q

Your pt c/o constant 7/10 shoulder pain that gets worse at night. He is very guarded and doesn’t want to move his shoulder. On objective exam you find he has pain at rest, early, and mid-range. He also has spasm and as you continue your exam his pain increases. Is this pt most likely pain or stiffness dominant?

A

pain
**your exam on someone who is pain-dominant may not be as in depth

30
Q

Your pt c/o 5/10 shoulder pain only w/ overhead movements. On objective exam, you find he has limited abduction, flexion, and ER. No spasms are found. As you continue your exam and moving his shoulder around his range slightly increases. Is this pt most likely pain or stiffness dominant?

A

stiffness

31
Q

what grades of mobs do you use for pain? what about stiffness?

A

grade 1-2
grade 3-4

32
Q

goal of mobs for pain

A

stay short of resistance to reduce pain

33
Q

goal of mobs for stiffness

A

go into/through barriers to produce pain in order to increase range

34
Q

for ________ dominant you use most free movements for manual treatment and exercise while for _______ dominant use most restricted movements for treatment

A

pain
stiffness

35
Q

pain is likely an ______ condition, while stiffness is likely a ______ condition

A

inflammatory, mechanical

36
Q

3 signs of irritable patient/pain

A

1 - easily provoked, 10 mins or less of activity
2 - constant or severe intermittent pain
3 - takes 10 mins or more to settle pain back to baseline

37
Q

treatment for irritable pain

A
  • grade 1 or 2 mobs for brief and few bouts
  • PROM, AAROM, AROM
  • light resistance exercise with fewer reps to be repeated throughout the day
38
Q

treatment for non-irritable pain

A
  • grade 3-4 mobs for longer and more bouts
  • ROM also into barrier and end range
  • higher resistance and reps
