subscapularis muscle - function

A

medeally rotates and adducts arm

39
Q

most common rotator cuff muscle injury (and explain)

A

supraspinatus muscle – trauma or degeneration and impingement –> tenindopathy or tera

40
Q

supraspinatus muscle injury is assessed by

A

empty full/can test

41
Q

empty full/can test - process

A

The patient is tested at 90° elevation in the scapula plane and full internal rotation (empty can) or 45°external rotation (full can). Patient resists downward pressure exerted by examiner at patients elbow or wrist.

42
Q

empty full/can test to assess

A

supraspinatus muscle injury

43

A
  • atrophy

- sensation spared, because palmar cutaneous branches enters the hand external to carpal tunel
