Lecture 8 - Shoulder Complex Flashcards
bones and joints of the shoulder
- clavicle
- coracoid process
- acromion
- gleaned cavity
- scapula
- humerus
what joint is affected during a “shoulder separation” and best test for it
AC (Acromioclavicular) joint
- horizontal abduction
what joint is affected during a shoulder subluxation
GH (glenohumeral) joint
- doesn’t actually separate, the gap gets bigger and you sprain all your ligaments
characteristics about shoulder dislocations/subluxation
- women are more prone to sub/dislocation
- anterior dislocation is more common
explain the 2 most common ways to posteriorly dislocate shoulder
- seizures
- electric shock
both caused by violent muscle contractions following seizure or electrocution
ligaments of the shoulder (that I need to know)
- coracoacomial joint
- acromioclavicular joint (AC)
- coracoclavicular (2 parts)
muscles that make up the shoulder
- deltoid (abbductors)
- trapizius
- rotator cuff muscles
- rhomboids
- long head of the biceps
- pec major/minor
- lattisimus dorsi
rotator cuff muscles
SITS
- Subscapularis.
- Infraspinatus.
- Teres minor.
- Supraspinatus.
possible movements at the shoulder joint
- Flexion/Extension
- internal/external rotation
- abduction (vertical and horizontal)
- adduction (vertical and horizontal)
epidemiology of shoulder injuries in rugby players
- AC joint is the most commonly affected
- MOI: player to player and player to ground contact
- on average they miss 37 days of play
steps of a shoulder exam
- History
- pervious injury, MOI - Observation
- deformity, swelling, discolouration - ROM
- active, passive, resisted - Manual muscle testing
- Palpation
- point tenderness of ligaments may be a good indicator of which strcutures are injured - Special tests
- functional Ax
soft tissue injuries (involving the shoulder)
- bone contusion
- fractures
- muscle contusion
- muscular injury
- tendinopathy
- ligamentous injury
sprains and labral tears
bone contusion
bone bruise, less severe than a bone fracture
MOI: contact to area
Observations:
- pain locally
- swelling
- pain with ROM, minimal to no decresae
- if repeated, may have increase bone formation present
muscle contusion
MOI: contact to area
Observtions
- pain locally
- hematoma
- swelling
- pain with ROM with decrease in ROM
- myositis ossificans
muscular injury
MOI: tissue contracting or stretching pas capacity
Observation
- swelling
- redness/bruising
- pain with active and resisted testing
common muscular injuries are rotator cuff, pectoralis, biceps
