fully supinate then res, fully pronate then res.
if px is worse or only with pronation it’s pos
Drop arm test is for
supraspinatus tear
full or empty can test is for
supra. tendonitis
cross over test is for
AC joint
Speeds test is for
Biceps lesion
Yergason’s test is for
tear of Transverse humeral lig
2 main impingement tests
Hawkins Kennedy
Neers
the TOS test for pec minor being the issue
Allens
The TOS tests for scalenes being the issue
Halsteads
Addsons
Lift off test is for
subscap tear
what does Fromonts sign test for
Adductor pollicis weakness
Ulnar nerve
Murphys sign
(looking for depressed 3rd MC)
lunate fx test
tendons that are tested by Finklestein’s test
abd. poll. longus
Ext. poll brevis
how much mobility is needed for Reaching overhead
Flexion/abduction functionally
148 degrees
what are the functional degrees needed to comb your hair
Abduction: 112°
Horizontal add: 104°
ER: 54°
2 gross assessments that are good to check for overall functional movement of UE
big circle with arm
arrest position
functional degrees needed for arrest position
Horiz abd: 69°;
IR: 60°
Extension: 56°
2 main components of GIRD
loss of IR 15-25 degrees compared to non dom side
AND total loss of ROM
pec minor actions
protracts, depresses, & downwardly rotates scapula (PDDR) (minor is all scap)
levator scap actions
elevates scap
DR scap
serratus ant does what to scap
UR
If shoulder IR are limited, what part of the capsule is tight
post
if these are tight, ER can be limited
IR: subscap, teres major, lats, pec major
If shoulder ER is limited, what part of the capsule is tight
ant
good post capsule stretch for GIRD
cross over rated better than sleeper stretch
adhesive capsulitis, what motions are really limited
Limited in ER, Abd, Flexion, IR
how to differentiate between a true capsular issue vs muscular or soft tissue issue with the shoulder
if motion is limited in more than 2 planes its the capsule
greatest ROM loss with adhesive capsulitis occurs in what stage
Stiffness/Frozen
stages of adhesive capsulitis
Painful/Freezing - usually reversible here
Stiffness/Frozen (loss of ROM here),
Recovery/Thawing
instead of the freezing stages of adhesive capsulitis, what is a better way to classify pts
Irritability
High =Pain > 7, consistent, ↑disability, pn limits ROM
Moderate Irritability= 4-6/10, intermittent, mod disability, pn at end of range
Low Irritability=
explain how to tx high irritability pts with adhesive capsulitis, what are your limits to tx
ROM: short duration (1-5 sec holds), pn-free range or px less than 3
best way to do shoulder flexion with a pulley
bend elbow slightly -it shortens the lever arm
tx for mod irritability ad. capsulitis
ROM: (5 – 15 sec holds at end range)
AAROM – AROM
Manual Techniques: Low-high grades (grade 3 – high amplitude motion)
Functional Activities
what glide is best to regain ER for adhesive capsulitis (not the norm glide for ER)
ER is usually most limited
This study found that a post glide was more effective in improving ER
treatment for low irritability of adhesive capsulitis
ROM: We are going to end-range, OP, longer duration
Manual technique: higher grades (grade 4)
Strengthen: Low- high resistance at end ranges
Functional activities: increase demand
MOBS: take to end range and then mob
If Pec Minor is tight you see what with the scapula
Anterior tilt of scap
if levator scap is tight, you might see with what with scapula
elevation and DR
if rhomboids are tight, the scap appears how
adducted or retracted
muscles prone to weakness that can alter glenoid position and scapular position
Lower trap
Serratus Anterior
Rotator Cuff
Which are typically weaker, IR or ER of shoulder
ER
what must occur in order to clear acromion in humeral elevation
upwardly rotate scap
posteriorly tilt scap
externally rotate scap
what role does serr ant play in humeral elevation (being able to clear and actually elevate shoulder)
UR, post tilt and ER scap
stabalizes medial brdr and inf angle of scap to prevent winging
explain the force couple of serratus and low trap
Serratus and low trap work together to force couple UR and returning the scap from elevation
If the pt has scap DR syndrome this cannot occur - typically bc the low trap is weak
how does the lower trap help with PICR
Maintains PICR of scapula during arm elevation by eccentric control of protraction and elevation
the low trap prevents ____ from occuring during lowering of the arm
winging
so if winging is occuring during lowering-think low trap
the RC stabalizes the humerus where
ant and superiorly
scapular wall clocks are good for what muscles
low/mid trap
wall washes are for what muscles
low trap and serratus
if winging is occuring with raising of arm, think what muscle
serratus ant
3 main components of pathoanatomic classification of dx
pts with that patho dx look similar and should be treated similar
Must fix pathologic anatomy for pain and function to improve
strong relationship btwn tissue pathology and pt complaint
Scap DR syndrome: if pt sx decrease if you assist their scapula in UR, what might you infer
that they are pos for DR syndrome
explain scapula DR syndrome
they are stuck in DR, When you abd shoulder the scap should UR. However, with scap DR syndrome it doesn’t UR
Rhomboids and levator are dominating
px probs assct w scap DR syndrome (pathos)
GH impingement
rotator cuff tear
humeral subluxation
thoracic outlet
explain scap depression syndrome
low trap is dominating
scap elevators are stretched
passive elevation decreases their sx
what px or pathos are assct with scap depression syndrome
neck px
impingement
scap depressors
lats, pecs
explain scap abd syndrome
stuck in abd and won’t return to add (excessive abd)
abd are tight, add are stretched
Dominance of serr ant., dominance of both pecs
Short: pecs
long/weak: scap adductors
pathos/px assosiciated with scap abd syndrome
TOS
subluxation
impingement
scap tilt syndrome
Dominance of pec minor, dec activity of serratus and low trap
Short: p. minor
long/weak: serratus
pathos/px associated with scap tilt
tos
impingement
scap winging syndrome (explain)
Dominance of pec minor
dec activity serratus
timing problem of low trap
pathos assct with winging
GH impingement
thoracic outlet
GH subluxation
scap elevation syndrome (explain)
stuck in elevation
dominant scap elevators
causes cervical/neck px
if pec minor is shortened, it can cause ____ of scap
ant tilt
stages of intervention
Stage I: Relieve Primary Impairment
Stage II: Relieve Movement Issues at Adjacent Body Segments
Stage III: Address Global Issues
why is Tspine important with humeral/shoulder motion
Upper segments must extend with humeral elevation
this is why we need to stretch tspine for shoulder limitation pathos
Also, you should palpate upper Tspine during shoulder elevation - if Tspine has no mvmt do PAs
explain prone low trap therex we did in class
prone
scaption
thumb up, raise arm
explain prone mid trap there
prone
arms in t out to side and raise arms
thumbs up
explain a simple therex used early on in order to strengthen serratus anterior
wall slides Above 90 degrees SCAPULAR PLANE Early in rehab Watch excessive upper trap activation prevent winging
explain 3 serratus ant therexs that would be good to progress to after wall slides
Scaption above 120 deg. with hand weight
Important to work above 90 deg to fire serr. Ant
or upper cuts that go above 90
or dynamic hugs
