Q

Shoulder Impingement (Causes)

A
  • Any movement that reduce contact between head of humerous and glenoid fossa
  • Full abduction renders the shoulder joint unstable

Q

Full Can Test

A
  • Have patient abduct their arm to the level of their shoulder
  • With arm in that position have them outwardly rotate their shoulder
  • Press down
  • Patient should be able to resist without pain
  • No pain because the supraspinatous tendon is away from acromion

  • Press down
  • If patient has difficulty resisting your pressure or is in a lot of pain then the supraspinatous tendon is affected
