Quiz 3 Flashcards
Sternoclavicular Joint
- Fairly stable modified saddle joint

Shoulder Impingement (Causes)
- Any movement that reduce contact between head of humerous and glenoid fossa
- Full abduction renders the shoulder joint unstable
- Muscles fatigue causing the supraspinatous tendon to rub between the greater tubercle and the acromion
Shoulder Impingement (Tests)
- Painful Arc Test
- Full Can Test
- Empty Can Test
Painful Arc Test
- Tests shoulder impingement
- Have patient fully abduct their arm
- Extreme pain will be from 60-120 degrees of motion
Full Can Test
- 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
Empty Can Test
- Have patient abduct their arm to the level of their shoulder
- With arm in that position have them inwardly rotate their shoulder
- Press down
- If patient has difficulty resisting your pressure or is in a lot of pain then the supraspinatous tendon is affected
- Pain because tendon is directly on the acromion
