MSK Flashcards
Capsular Pattern of GH joint
ER> ABD> IR
Thoracic and Lumbar spine capsular pattern
Limitation of side bending and rotation
Hip capsular pattern
Limited in FLEX/IR, >ABD, no limitation in ER and Adduction
Soft end feel =
Soft tissue approximation
Firm end-feel
Capsular and ligamentous stretching
Hard end-feel
Bone and/or cartilage meet
When is an end-feel pathological
Boggy, firm too early, hard too early or firm too late, rubbery
Empty end-feel
Loose and then very hard , associated with muscle guarding or patient avoiding painful part of range
Boggy end feel
Edema/swelling
Arthrokinematic of SC joint
Superior inferior= convex
A/P: concave
Scapular elevation mm
Levator scapula, rhomboids
Scapular downward rotators
Pectoralis minor, levator scapula, rhomboids
