Midterm Practical Prep Flashcards
Open pack of shoulder
55 degrees flexion with 30 degrees horizontal ABD and slight external rotation (scaption plane)
Closed pack of shoulder
maximal ABDuction and ER
capsular pattern of shoulder
ER> ABD>IR
Glenohumeral lateral distraction
for all motions
Glenohumeral inferior glide
For abduction
Glenohumeral Posterior glide
Flexion, horizontal ADDuction
shoulder instability history
History
-Multiple recurrent subluxations
-Injury to the shoulder
-Dislocation
Sensation of something slipping/ unstable or anxiety in certain positions
Sulcus sign
for shoulder instability
Patient sitting. Inferior glide of humerus. Measured in centimeters inferior acromion to humeral head
Load and shift (inferior, posterior, anterior)
sitting- must stabilize scapula. Starting position: passively position humerus within glenoid. 0-3 scale. 0=no laxity, 3= complete loss of humeral position on glenoid
NORMAL=anterior is half distance of humeral head
Apprehension/ relocation/ release RULE IN
Apprehension
Patient is supine. Arm positioned in 90 degrees abduction and moved towards full ER. Positive= Apprehension (spec .99, sens .53, +LR 53)
Relocation
From above position of apprehension, apply posterior glide of humerus. Positive= decreased apprehension (sens .46, spec .54, +LR 1.0, -LR 1.0)
Release (surprise test)
From above position, release posterior force. Positive= return of apprehension (sens .64, spec .99, +LR 64, -LR .36)
Labral tear history
Fall on outstretched arm or shoulder
Brace one self with an outstretched arm in a MVA
Lifting heavy objects repeatedly
Overhead activities
labral tear symptoms
Popping, clicking, or catching in the shoulder.
Pain when you move your arm over your head or throw a ball
A feeling of weakness or instability in the shoulder
Aching pain of vague location
labral tear anterior slide test
Patient standing or sitting. Hand on hip. Examiner stabilizes scapula with one hand and with other hand on elbow, applies an anterior/superior force. Patient instructed “don’t let me move you.” Positive= click in anterior shoulder
crank test
for labral tear
Patient supine. Examiner passively elevate arm to 160 degrees scaption. Axial load applied to humerus and shoulder is IR and ER. Positive=Pain(+LR 1.05, -LR .96)
Active compression test
for labral tear
Patient standing. Active flexion to 90 degrees with 10 degrees ADDuction and full IR. Examiner provides a downward force versus resistance. Patient then ER shoulder and test is repeated. Positive= pain with first maneuver and decreased pain with second maneuver
Bicep load test
for labral tear,
Patient supine. Arm is passive ABDucted 90 degrees with elbow in 90 degrees flexion and supinated. Examiner ER arm until patient reports apprehension. Resisted elbow flexion performed. Positive= Pain
sub-acrominal impingement history
overhead activities
Subacromial Impingement symptoms
Difficulty reaching up behind the back
Pain with overhead use of the arm
Weakness of shoulder muscles
Test Item Cluster for Identification of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
Hawkins and Kennedy Impingement sign
Painful arc sign
Infraspinatus muscle test
Hawkins and Kennedy Test
for subacromial impingement
Patient standing. Passive elevation of shoulder to 90 degrees scaption, elbow in 90 degrees flexion. Passive IR to pain or end range. Positive= pain
Painful arc sign
for subacromial impingement
Patient instructed to fully flex arm in scapular plane and then slowly lower. The test is positive if the patient has pain between 60 and 120 degrees.
