Instability
What is the three levle staged algorithm for rehabilitation (STAR) classification for shoulder pain

What are the key negative finding that would make u think it is not GH instability
- no hx of dislocation
- no apprehension (scared that it is gonna dx)
How do u end up tearing ur RC
Start w impingement —> RC tendinopathy —> RC year
50-70% of all shoulder pain seen in PT related to ___ ___
RC dysfunction

Is impingement a problem or stymptoms
Symptom
How are RC tears described by
Size , location , direction and depth
The amount of weakness of RC is directly related to what
Size of tear
What is the treatment for RC tear
It is conservative - restore joint mobility and as needed and strengthen surrounding mm
- sx for SA depression or RC repair w or w/o biceps tendonesis
What is considered a small , medium , large or massive RC tear
Small= < 1 cm
Med= 1-3 cm
Large = 3-5 cm
Massive = > 5 cm
What age , gender and disease is common w adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
45-60
Females
DM and thyroid disease
What are the 4 stages for frozen shoulder
Stage I (pt typically ignores) for <3
months
Stage II (freezing) for 3-9 months
Stage III (frozen) for 9-14 months
Stage IV (thawing) for 14+ months
There is progressive ___ w no MOI in frozen shoulder
Pain
In frozen shoulder there is progressive loss of ROM in how many planes
2 or more
What is the treatment for stage 1 and 2( freezing) of adhesive capsulitis
Stage I – pain control (if seen by PT)
Stage II – pain control + manual therapy
(as tolerated) + mobility ex’s
Emphasize self care here
What is the treatment for stage 3( frozen) and 4 (thaw) of adhesive capsulitis
Stage III – pain typically has resolved;
focus on restoring normal motion and
strength where possible
Stretching as tolerated
Stage IV – continue to restore normal
motion & strength as able
Stretching + strengthening + NM re-
