pathology Flashcards
What is calcific tendonitis in the shoulder?
- microscopic changes in hyaline cartilage and degeneration of collagen in tendon loosening and separating tendon fibers
- the separted fibers are pulverized into small particales that contain calcium salts
- the debris forms a liquid chalky area that is pressurized by the surrounding structures
C5-7 nerve root disorders will demonstrate weakness where?
- C5 deltiod, RTC, biceps
- C6 serratus
- C7 triceps, wrist flexors and adductors of the arm (lat)
how will limitations in active scapular rotation present?
- full passive and pain free shoulder ROM
- serratus weekness active limited to about 45 degrees
- trap weakness limited in the last 10 degrees
how would you differentiate pec major, teres group and lat weakness
- pec weak or pain with adduction, flexion and horz adduction
- teres minor- shoulder extesions with ER
- teres mjor- shoulder extension with IR
- lat- shoulder extension with IR
How can you isolate long head of biceps?
- resited shouder adduction in lengthened range with pain at the AC joint
- all other MMT and passive movement not producing pain
what is necessary for a normal functioning joint to work?
- stability
- mobility
- strength
How is the glenoid oriented?
tilts superiorly about 5 degree
2.slightly retroverted about 7 degrees
what structures contribute to the static stability of the GH joint?
- capsule
- labrum
- capusular ligament
- internal pressure
what ligament is most important for stability at 90 elevation and ER
inferior GH
What is the IAR of the GH joint
in the resting position it is usally medial and inferior to the tubercles about 6 mm from head of hymerus
- shights 1-2 mm with elevation superiorly
- what abduction it shifts the AC joit at about 60-90 degrees
How des the scapular positioning change with isometric testing of the shoulder in 90 flexion and why is this important?
- it tends to retract
2. t illustrates the critical importance of scapular stabilization with shoulder rotation
how does scapular position effect RTC function?
As the scapula retracts in to a millitary posture the IAR is moved up with the line of pull of the RTC creating compression of the joint with RTC activitation instead of downward glide
what is the relationship of the ROM of the scapular and GH joint
scapula has about 60 degrees of upward rotation while the GH elevates 120 degrees or 2:1
-15 degrees of shoulder flexion is 10 degree GH and 5 degree scapular
What is the muscle activation pattern with shoulder abduction
- deltiod and supraspinatus start things off
- infraspinatus and teres minor activity increases linearly
- subscap reach peak activation about 90 degrees
- infraspinatus increases until about 130 degrees
What are the activation patterns of pec major and deltoid with shoulder flexion and abduction
- deltiod helps with both
- pec does nothign with abduction, in flexion both head are working up to 55 degree flexion at which clavicular head shuts off
what is the activation pattern of the trap during flexion and abduction
- middle trap prime mover 150-180 and has a slight continuous activity
- middle most active in abduction and increases with activity through the flexion ROM
- lower trap and serratus are a rotatory force couple
- decreased lower trap activity with flexion
- lower and mid work together in the third phase of abduction
what is the rhomboid activity pattern with shoulder flexion and abduction
1.follows middle trap and is most active in abduction
what is the serratus activation pattern with shoulder abduction and flexion
- light continuous activity with trap and levator scapula to suppport the scapula
- works with lower trap to create rotatory force couple
- assis mid trap in the third phase of abduction (150-180)
how did Kapandji divide shoulder movements?
three phases
- 0-60
- 60-150
- 150-180
What are the arthokenematics 0-60 degrees of abduction
- scapular fixed against the rib cage
- scapula adducts decreasing tension on trapezoid
- deltoid pulls humeral head up as much as 3 mm in the first 30 degrees
- RTC counter acts the activity of the deltoid
- primarily motion at GH with a 3:1 ration GH to ST
What are the arthrokenematics of shoulder adduction in the second phase
60-150
- primarly the result of 60 degree of scapular rotation
- as scapula abduct conoid become taut
- axial rotation of AC and SC contirbute about 30 degrees
- greatest scapular motion relative to GH motion occurs from 80-140 at about 0.7:1
- peak deltoid activity at about 60 degrees
- peak shearing between 51-80 degrees wit no shearing by the end of the phase
what are the arthokenematics of the third phase of abduction/
150-180
- GH to ST motion changes ot 3.5:1
- upper trap decreases while middle trap become prime mover with lower and serratus helping
- t-spine decreases kyphosis and contralateral side bend occurs
- L-spine increased lordosis if both arms are raised at the same time
What is the the first phase of myo- and altho- kenematics with shoulder flexion?
0-60
- coracobracialis, anterior deltoid and clavicular fibers of pec activate the motion
- movement is limited by tension of the coracohumeral ligament
- movement is limited by tension from the teres group and infraspinatus
