Answer 6

Abduction of the shoulder and it is located between the acromion and head of humerus

Question 7

Subacromial bursitis

Answer 7

Tenderness below acromion tip and pain with abduction +rotation and loss of smooth movement

Question 8

Shoulder inspection

Answer 8

swelling, deformity, abnormal position, atrophy, color changes, skin alteration, fasiculations

Question 9

Where to palpate the shoulder

Answer 9

A- anterior tip of the acromion
B- greater tubercle of the humerus
C- coracoid process

Question 10

Shoulder Range of Motion

Answer 10

Flex
extend
ABduct
ADduct
Internal rotation (hands behind small of back)
External rotation (hands behind neck)

Question 11

Who is most likely to get “frozen shoulder”?

Answer 11

Diabeties
Sometimes hypothyroid, trauma
more likely in females
Medical name: adhesive capsulitis

Question 12

To appropriately assess shoulder what 4 structures should be looked at?

Answer 12

1. Acromioclavicular joint
2. Subacromial + subdeltoid bursae
3. Rotator cuff
4. Biceps tendinitis

Question 13

Test the acromioclavicular joint

Answer 13

Crossover or crossed body adduction test- Move pt’s arm across the chest

Question 14

Test overall shoulder rotation

Answer 14

Apley scratch test

Difficulty w/ test suggests a rotator cuff d/o or adhesive capsulitis

Question 15

Neer’s impingement

Answer 15

Press on pt’s scapula and raise pt’s arm
pain= positive test
possible inflammation or rotator cuff tear

Question 16

Hawkin’s impingement

Answer 16

Flex pt’s shoulder+ elbow to 90 degress with palm facing down. Place one hand on the forearm and the other on the arm and rotate internally
pain=positive test
possible inflammation or rotator cuff tear
*test compresses the greater tuberosity against the coracoacromial ligament

Question 17

Empty Can Test

Answer 17

Assess supraspinatus

pain w/test= positive

Question 18

How to test the infraspinatous and teres minor

Answer 18

Pt w/arms at side, thumbs up and elbows at 90 degrees–>resistance to pt pressing FOREARM out
+ test= weakness
Possible rotator cuff tear or bicipital tendinitis

Question 19

Subscapularis Test

Answer 19

Internally rotate shoulder to low back region

Question 20

Drop Arm sign

Answer 20

+ test= unable to hold the arm fully abducted at shoulder level or cannot control the limb possible rotator cuff tear

Answer 25

pain immediately distal to medial epicondyle with resisted wrist flexion

Question 26

Ulnar Neuropathy (cubital Tunnel)

Answer 26

palpate ulnar nerve within the ulnar groove posterior to medial epicondyle
