Shoulder Flashcards
how much contact does the humeral head have with the glenoid fossa?
25%
how much contact does the humeral head have with the glenoid fossa and the labrum?
75%
mechanisms of stability at the shoulder most to least
muscular>ligamentous>structural
approximation
compression of a segment/joint surface
increase with pushing/weightbearing
centration
optimal joint position with balanced muscle forces
stabilization
local muscles
joint support/stabilization muscles
global muscles
movers of the joint
arthrokinematics of the rotator cuff
subscap: posterior glide in IR
ext rotators: anterior glide in ER
GH close packed
90 abd, full ER

loss of abduction/flexion could indicate…
SAPS
loss of IR could indicate…
adhesive capsulitis (last part of capsular pattern)
or post op adhesions
night time awakening w shoulder pain could indiacte…
internal derangement
kibler type 1 dysfunction
inferior border protrudes due to anterior tilt of the scapula
causes of kibler type 1 dysfunction
pec minor or short head of biceps pulling coracoid anteriorly
weakness in lats, lower traps, serratus
kibler type 2 dysfunction
entire medial border off ribs with glenoid fossa pointed anteriorly
increased strain on anterior capsule and instability
causes of kibler type 2 dysfunction
weakness: serratus anterior/lower traps
kibler type 3
superior border of scapula elevated, especially as part of movement pattern
causes of kibler type 3 dysfunction
overactive upper traps, weak lower traps
other sources of shoulder pain to consider in differential
C spine nerve impingement
peripheral nerve entrapment
diaphragm irritation
intrathoracic tumor
MI
pancoast tumor
ACJ separation MOI
trauma: FOOSH, blow to shoulder, fall on anterior shoulder
ACJ separation
men vs women more?
more common in men than women
types of AC joint separation
type I: partial or complete disruption of AC ligaments, intact coracoclavicular ligaments
type iI: fully torn AC ligaments + coracoclavicular partial tear
III: coracoclavicular ligament complete tear, separation of clavicle from acromion
IV-VI: uncommon, involvement of muscle tear causing wide displacement
subjective of ACJ separation
relief with supported/cradled arm
localized pain over AC joint
objective fo ACJ separation
may be obvious deformity
pt supporting arm adducted
swelling
pain w passive adduction
ACJ special tests
cross body adduction test
AC resisted extension test
ACJ intervention
type 1 and 2 can heal with protection and rest, moving into gentle ROM, nonpainful strengthening of deltoid and traps
unrestricted activity 2-4 weeks later
types 3 and 4 may need surgery
what would happen with untreated ACJ
permanent deformity, weak shoulder abduction
ACJ arthritis
more likely to remain symptomatic the worse the grade of sprain
post op ACJ repair interventions
pain at end range due to limited clavicle motion
strengthen SCM, subclavius, deltoid, pec major, trap
adhesive capsulitis cause
primary vs secondary
primary: idiopathic, progessive, painful loss of motion in capsular pattern
secondary: traumatic in origin, disease process or neuro/cardio condition
adhesive capsulitis subjective
diffuse aching in shoulder
hard to sleep on involved side
hard to complete ADLs
3 clinical characteristics of adhesive capsulitis
- severe pain
- shoulder stiffness with reduced ER
- negative radiographic findings
stage 1 adhesive capsulitis
prefreezing
lasts 1-3 months
sharp pain with movement, start of motion limitations, worst in ER
hallmark symptom: pain
stage 2 adhesive capsulitis
freezing
3-9 months
progressive loss of movement and night pain
stage 3 of adhesive capsulitis
frozen
profound stiffness
pain at end range, starting to decrease
stage 4 adhesive capsulitis
thawing
12-15 months
minimal pain, gradual improvement in motion with remaining profound stiffness
objective findings of adhesive capsulitis
varies by stage
abnormal shoulder elevation mechanics
point tenderness
ER>Abd>flexion/IR limitations
hypomobile GH joint
end range pain
testing for adhesive capsulitis
no special tests
imaging negative
arthorography shows 50% reduced joint volume in capsule
