internal and external rotation

39
Q

A

GHI

40

indications of a GHI

A 
sulcus sign
point tenderness at anterior aspect of GH joint capsule
fluid motion loss
decrease external rotation
anterior deltoid weakness

decrease internal rotation
teres major
42
Q

what part of the scapulo-humeral ratio would decrease with a GHP or GHI subluxation?

A

glenohumeral part

would appear as 1:1

43
Q

is there a move of choice for GHI?

A

no, it is GH supine traction because you can feel the jint open up

GHP
subacromial bursitis
bicipetal tendonitis
bicepital instability
sprain or tear of rotator cuff

45
Q

where is the patient’s shoulder placed for GHP prone?

A

supported on the table for stabilization

46
Q

what is the thrusting move of coice for GHP?

prone

to stabilize the GH joint

47
Q

what is important about the LOC of GHP?

A

straight P-A, drop the elbow so that it’s level or below the wrist

48
Q

what ROM do you use to bring the arm to tension in a GHP?

A

abduction and extension

49
Q

where is the pain point for GHP?

A

posterior aspect of glenohumeral joint

50
Q

what is the most common shoulder dislocation and why?

A

anterior-inferior due to gravity pulling down and forward
carrying things pulls it down and forward
anterior glenoid labrum is shallow
anterior inferior aspect of the joint capsule is weaker

51
Q

what motions do you take the patient’s arm through for the Kockher’s maneuver (in order)?

A 
traction S-I
external rotation
adduction
internal rotation
support in dugas position
52
Q

what motions do you take the patient’s arm thorough for Fare’s maneuver (in order)?

A

slight S-I traction
pump arm up and down 2-3 degrees while bringing the arm into 90 degree abduction
at 90 degrees externally rotate the arm, at about 120 degrees the humerus sets, then adduct arm and stailize on chest

53
Q

what 3 systems do you want to post check after a shoulder dislocation maneuver?

A

vascular (pulse, color of nail beds, warmthe of hand)
neurological (pinwheel, sharp/dull, hot/cold, muscle test in hand, check muscle tone, decreased pain)
musculoskeletal (dugas is now negative, xray, visually shoulder appears rounded

54
Q

3 parts to frozen shoulder

A
  1. patient arm over padded back of studry chair, traction S-I to patient tolerance, hold for 60-90 degrees, check ROM. if improved, go to step 2
  2. same position, treaction SI while taking through the newly gained ROM (to tolerance). Do once per day until progress stops.
  3. check for ristricted parts fo ROM, then give a small impulse. make sure patient is performing at home exercise before doing this
55
Q

what can the doctor have the patient do for home treatment?

A

part 2 with a family member
arm over padded back of a chair wile swinging a weight or plastic jug filled with sand
perform apley scratch exercises
pulley over door or basement beam

56
Q

what is the most important component for frozen shoulder treatment?

A

find out what cause the patient to stop using their shoulder thus allowing it to freez, then address the problem
could be due to scar tissue buildup, DJD, arthritis

57
Q

why is 3 part treaction procedure preferred over surgery for rozen shoulder

A

less risk of fracturing the humerus
dislocating the GH joint
neurovascular damage

58
Q

pain point for STL and STM

A

anterior to the scapula in the subscapularis muscle

59
Q

what position is the arm placed in for STL?

A

behind patient’s back while side-lying
help to pre-stress teh scapula from lateral to medial
doctor will each thier arm through the axillary arm opening

60
Q

where is the stabilization hand for STL?

A

over AC joint

61
Q

where are fingers of SH?

A

over GH joint

62
Q

in what direction does the doctor push with the SH to help bring the ST articulation to ttension?

A

S-I

63
Q

what position is the patient’s arm placed in for ST-M?

A

in front of patient’s body while side lying. This is to help pre-stress the scapula from M-L

64
Q

where is #11 of the SH for STM side lying?

A

over the GH joint

65
Q

where are the fingers of the SH for STM?

A

over the AC joint

66
Q

in what direction does the doctor push with the SH to help bring the ST articulation to tension?

A

I-S

67
Q

What are some common mistakes for the STM prone?

A

patient’s shoulder should be off the table
doctor should stand opposite the side of contact
doctor should use an inferior CH

68
Q

in what direction does the clavicle most commonly subluxate?

A

superior

69
Q

is traction a post check for St-Cl S?

A

no

it is actually a procedure and should be done before St-Cl S

70
Q

How should the patient be placed for St-Cl S traction supine?

A

supine with the scapula off the table

71
Q

What do we do with the arm opposite the side of contact in St-Cl traction seated?

A

we hold back the shoulder opposite the side the contact

72
Q

why do we hold back the shoulder in St-Cl traction seated?

A

to isolate St-Cl joint and not rotate the thoracics

73
Q

How do you bring the St-Cl joint to tension before the thrust (superior)

A

by bringing the arm into abduction and extension

74
Q

describe the thrust for St-Cl S

A

straight S-I with maybe a littel torque (fingers with torque up toward the axilla, radial deviation of the wrist.

75
Q

which rib levels may commonly need St-Co thrusting adjusting procedure?

A

ribs 2-5

76
Q

where is the pain point for St-Co joint?

A

right over the joint of the involved rib. if it’s a superior rib the pain may be located over the top of the rib head
if it is inferior rib the pain may be located over the bottom of the rib head

77
Q

what is the best way to check the St-Co joint?

A

fluid motion. palpate the involved ribs while seated, have the patient take a very deep breath in while bringing the shoulders up, then exhale all the way out feeling the excursion of the ribs

78
Q

differential diagnoses for pain that runs along hte rib all the way around the thoracic cage?

A

thoracic subluxation, shingles, intercostal neuralgia, rib fracture, tumor, heart attack if on left side

79
Q

how far up and back do we go with the patient’s shoulder for St-Co traction seated?

A

to the patient’s tolerance or until you fee the joint open up

80
Q

how far up and back would you go or a rib 2 compared to rib 5?

A

not as far, it won’t take as much rotation/extension for rib 2

81
Q

how should the patient be placed for St-Co upine?

A

supine with scapula off the table, even further for lower ribs

82
Q

which way should the doctor’s finger point for St-Co traction supine?

A

M-L, some I-S for ribs 2-3, M-L some S-I for ribs 4-5

follow the angle of the rib, remember it changes the lower you go in teh rib cage

83
Q

what is the limiting factor for bringing the arm posteiror and superior?

A

patient tolerance or until you feel the joint open up

84
Q

patient placement for St-Co I, St-Co S?

A

supine on the center of the table

85
Q

what is the doctor’s stance for St-Co I, St-Co S?

A

side of involvement, straight away so you don’t add a body drop

86
Q

what do you do for patient safety for St-Co I, St-Co S?

A

turn their face away so you don’t hit them with your elbow or fingers

87
Q

breathing instructions for St-Co I?

A

take a deep breath in and hold

88
Q

which phase of breathing should you see improvement on inspiration or expiration?

A

inspiration

89
Q

what type of breathing would show aberrant motion with St-CoS?

A

on expiration, the rib doesn’t comes down

90
Q

how do you get your LOC S-I for St-Co S?

A

drop your elbow donw close to the chest wall

91
Q

what breathing instrucitons do you give the patient to hlep prestress the rib for St-Co S?

A

take a deep breath in, blow it out al the way and hold

92
Q

why do you give breathing instructions for St-Co S?

A

take a deep breath in to oxygenate the lungs
blow out the air so the musculature is pulling down on the rib and opens up the joint space below the rib
hold to keep from forcing residual air out of the patient’s lung. it also stop patient form starting to take a breath in
