Manage shoulder chap 21 and 17 Flashcards
Compression and irritation of soft tissues in suprahumeral space
Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder Impingement pg 349 shank
this shoulder impingement refers to mechanical compression of the rotator cuff tendoms, primarily the supraspinatus tendon, as they pass under the
primary
Mechanical compression
Intrinsic or extrinsic
Testing associated with Subacromial RTC Impingement
Neer painful arc test
Pain with shoulder elevation and IR
Hawkins-Kennedy test

Impingement Syndrome
Degenerative changes can also result in decreased ________ __________ between the rotator cuff and the coracoacromial arch
subacromial space
Shoulder Impingement
RTC Impingement
what motions cause ?
Repeated ABD and ADD motions compromise blood supply to tendon
Primary impingement
Supraspinatus tendinitis
Tears within the RTC
RTC Impingement
What kind of posture may this patient assume?
Forwar head, anterior tipped scap wth decrese thoracic mobiltiy
RTC Impingement
Muscle imbalances
- Hypomobile pec major and minor, levator scapulae, and IR of the GH joint
- Stretch or strengthen? ceiling punches
- Weak serratus and lateral rotators
- Tight GH capsule posteriorly- arm across body
- Faulty kinematics with humeral elevation
- What activities would allow you to target these imbalances? be aware of shoulder hiking and uncoordinated scap/hum rhythm
scap motion kc 542 and 543
scap/hum rythm
for evry 2 degrees of gh flx or abd after first 30 degrees of shldr
What activities could you implement to begin improve scapulohumeral rhythm?
brushing hair
washing hair
reaching upward
RTC edu with dressing?
put bad arm in shirt first
RTC imp
stages 1,2,3
pg shank 349
and phase of rehab 1,2,3
Phase i
- prefuncitonal
- pt ed
- control inflammation and promote healing
- modailties
- immobilaztion
- maintain integrity and mobiltiy - pendulums
- develop support in related regions

Important to modify (not eliminate) activities
Shoulder impingement can be very painful in acute stage so your patients may not adhere to your exercise program.
Review ways to foster adherence

What signs and symptoms would indicate that the patient is no longer acute and has moved to the second stage?
No inflammation
inc ROM
decrease pain
Phase II – Return to Function
whats involved?
- Patient education
- Improve postural awareness
- Advanced scapular stabilization ex
- OKC exercises
Phase II – Return to Function
If exercise is too difficult, what might you see?
- rowing
- scaption- full cans /empty cans
- press ups/ over head press
- push ups with scap protraction - push ups with a+
What do the exercises target?
- rowing
- scaption- full cans /empty cans
- press ups/ over head press
- push ups with scap protraction - push ups with a+
upper middle lower trap
levator scapula
rhomboid major
pectoralis minor
middle and lowr serratus
Phase III – Return to Activity
whats involved?
- Process is slow and must be done cautiously
- Endurance
- Plyometrics
- Oscillatory training
- Body blade - Shankman – Fig 21-5
- Specificity of training
- Increase speed of exercise performance
RTC-Consider how the exercises differ in each stage.
Note progression/regressions
Muscles targeted
ISOM vs Resistance?
Mechanical vs. Manual
