Lecture 16/17: Shoulder Clinical Conditions Flashcards

1
Q

Thoracic spine & shoulder pain

A
  • the thoracic spine will likely not radiate pain to the shoulder, but it can create shoulder dysfunction
  • hypomobile thoracic extension will limit your ability to flex the shoulders

Q

other musculoskeletal areas the patient was consider to be “shoulder pain”

A
  • cervical spine
  • elbow; however, typically we do not radiate pain proximally – meaning the elbow is likely not referring pain up to the shoulder, but what is happening at the elbow may influence the shoulder

Q

common kinematic impairments for rotator cuff injuries and tendionopathies

A
  • faulty kinematics during humeral elevation
  • decreased posterior tipping of scapula (due to weak serratus anterior)
  • scapular elevation and overuse of upper trap
  • altered scapulohumeral rhythm during elevation or lowering of arm
26
Q

with complete rotator cuff tear inability to

A

abduct the humerus against gravity

27
Q

when acute:

A

pain referred to C5 C6 reference zones

28
Q

Rotator cuff tear mechanism of injury

A
  1. end-stage impingement may cause tendon degeneration and progression to a complete tear.
    - compromise of subacromial space, decreased vascular supply and spur formation
  2. acute injury such as fall on an outstretched arm or abduction movement at high force and velocity may also cause a tear
29
Q

rotator cuff population

A
  • older than 40

* common exceptions*: traumatic injuries, pitchers

30
Q

other condiitons accompanying a rotator cuff tear

A
  • bicep tendon hypertrophy (may try to make up for the shoulder dysfunction)
  • increased EMG of biceps (substiuting for rotator cuff muscles)
  • biceps tendon rupture (most commonly seen in large/significant rotator cuff tears)
31
Q

signs/symptoms of rotator cuff tears

A
  1. pain/loss of function (commonly reaching overhead, pain arc) - pain dependent on extensibility of tear
    • grade 4: least painful, least amount of function present
    • grade 1: most painful, most function present
  2. (+) AROM findings
  3. (+/-) PRO findings (tensile force when lengthened) - wouldn’t expect to be painful except at end-ranges
  4. (+) weakness or pain
  5. (+) provocation (special tests)
32
Q

Rotator cuff procedures (least invasive – most invasive)

A
  1. arthoscopic approach
  2. mini-open (arthoscopically assisted) approach
  3. traditional open approach
33
Q

Impingement syndrome

A

tendons of the rotator cuff and biceps and subacromial bursa are subject to inflammation as a result of direct blows, excessive tensile forces and/or repetitive microtrauma

Repetitive or sustained overhead activities frequently predispose the rotator cuff tendons to injury

34
Q

mechanical (primary) impingement of subacromial structures occurs when

A

arm is lifted overhead, especially in abduction and flexion with the arm internally rotated (internal rotation has more possibility for impingement)

35
Q

secondary impingement frequently involves

A

glenohumeral or functional scapular instability

36
Q

population of primary impingement syndrome

A
  • over 40

- overall wear and tear, related to aging process

37
Q

population of secondary impingement syndrome

A
  • associated with scapular instability
  • < 35 yo
  • usually athletic/occupational in nature; repetitive overhead movements
38
Q

associated pathologies with impingement syndrome

A

bursitis (right under the acromion)
tendonitis
rotator cuff tears
degenerative changes (osteophyte formations)

39
Q

signs and symptoms of impingement syndrome

A
  1. Anterior pain
  2. Difficulty with sleeping position
  3. (+) AROM findings
  4. (+/-) PROM findingd
  5. (+) weakness or pain
  6. (+) tenderness
  7. primary impingement usually grade 3
  8. (+) provocation (special tests)
40
Q

Procedures for impingement syndrome

A

subacromial decompression (also known as anterior acromioplasy or decompression acromioplasty)

41
Q

Shoulder instability definiiton

A

excessive displacement anteriorly or posteriorly of the humeral head in relationship to the glenoid
- created by lack of active or passive shoulder stabilizers leading to increaased likelihood of GH subluxation

42
Q

population of shoulder instability

A
  • younger male, athltic
  • < 35
  • repetitive overhead sport or occupation
43
Q

types of GH instability

A
  1. anterior (common)
  2. posterior
  3. inferior
  4. multi-directional (anterior/inferior most common)
44
Q

common progression of shoulder instability

A

microtrauma –> involuntary (sub-luxation) –> voluntary –> frank dislocation (fully dislocated)

45
Q

signs and symptoms of shoulder instability

A
  1. anterior pain
  2. c/o of “clunk” “click” “pop”
  3. (+/-) AROM/PROM
  4. (-) weakness or pain
  5. (+) accessory motion tests
  6. (+) tenderness
46
Q

surgeries for shoulder instability

A
  • Bankhart repair
  • Capsulorrhaphy
  • Electrothermally assisted capsulorrhaphy
  • posterior capsulorrhapy
  • repair of SLAP lesion
47
Q

Stability/Impingement relatonship

A

Overuse: repetitive, overhead activites stress tissues near physiologic limit –>
Microtrauma: if stress rate > repair state, tissue breakdown occurs (static stabilizers) –>
Instability: resultant instability - most often an ant/inf; may lead to asynch. coordination of scapular rotators and rotator cuff –>
Subluxation: cuff unable to stabilize humeral head alone, further muscle atrophy, progressive subluxation –>
Impingement: further cuff wear/tear –> superior head comp –> impingement –>
Rotator cuff tear: end-stage impingement

48
Q

Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) characteristics

A
  • occurs in 3-4 stages
    1. gradual onset of pain (less than 3 months)
    2. painful period (3-9 weeks - freezing)
    3. stiff period (less painful, but has all the dysfunctions and can last 9-15 months) (frozen)
    4. recovery period (15-24 months) (thawing)

-total duration of symptoms average 2+ years (self-limiting)

49
Q

population for frozen shoulder

A
  1. age 40-70 (rare <40)
  2. females&raquo_space; males
  3. 1/3 will develop contralateral problem in 5-7 years
50
Q

primary frozen shoulder

A
  • unknown etiology
  • active and passive movements are painful
  • markedly restricted in all directions (most in ER – following capsular pattern)
51
Q

secondary frozen shoulder

A
  • identical clinical syndrome occurring in association with a particular disorder or event
    • (i.e., shoulder trauma, diabetes, thyroid disease, cardiac disease, nuerologic disease, pulmonary disease)
52
Q

signs and symptoms of frozen shoulder (history of complaints)

A
  • insidious onset or some trauma
  • pain: becoming severe, present at rest (pain at rest is usually not normal, but for adhesive capsuliits it is) pain may be vague, generalized, may refer to forearm
  • self-immobilization
  • unable to lay on involved side
53
Q

frozen shoulder tests and measures pattern

A
  • dependent on stage
  • all active and passive motions painful/restricted
  • significant GH ER, moderate abducton limitations and some IR restriction (capsular pattern) (flexion is also limited)
  • GH spasm end-feel, progressing to hard, capsular end-feel
  • (+) impingement test
  • hypomobile accessory motion
  • ?? (+) resisted tests
    • dependent on person and patient position
    • may get a (+) resisted test even though you’re not suppose to becaause its a capsular problem
54
