NOTE: no capsular pattern or closed packed position

29
Q

Biomechanics of Elevation 0-90

A
  • Supraspinatus initiates abduction
  • Remaining RC muscles pull humeral head into glenoid
  • ~20 deg: scapular upward rot with concurrent clavicular elevation and axial rotation
  • 90 deg: upper extreme of GH abduction is reached and clavicular elevation ceases (costoclavicular lig tension)
  • Scapula upwardly rotated 30 degrees
30
Q

Biomechanics of Elevation 90-150

A

-Scapula upwardly rotates 60 degrees
-Scapular contribution peaks between 90-140 degrees
-Upward rotation accom at SC and AC by:
30-40 deg posterior clavicular axial rotation
30-36 deg clavicular elevation

31
Q

Biomechanics of Elevation 150-180

A

Abduction >150 requires upper thorax/Cspine motion

Bilateral abduction requires thoracic ext and increased lumbar lordosis

32
Q

Adhesive Capsulitis

A

Restriction in active AND passive ROM
Female, >40, trauma, diabetes, prolonged inflamm, thyroid disease, stroke/MI, autoimmune disease
Synovial inflammation w/ reactive capsular fibrosis
Can take 1-3 years to resolve

33
Q

Adhesive Capsulitis Stage 1

A

Mild signs/symptoms <3 months duration, loss of motion
at this stage is due to pain and not capsular contracture

Capsular Pattern, achy at rest and sharp at extreme ROM, pain with palpation of ant/post capsules, pain radiates to deltoid insertion

34
Q

Adhesive Capsulitis Stage 2

A

“Freezing phase”, 3-9 mo, motion loss reflects loss of capsular volume and response to pain

Pain with palpation of ant/post capsules, radiates to deltoid insertion, loss of motion in all planes, pain in all parts of range

35
Q

Adhesive Capsulitis Stage 3

A

“Frozen stage”, 9-14 mo, synovial thickening and dense
collagenous tissue

Painful phase has resolved, stiff shoulder, poor scapulohumeral rhythm during arm elevation, dominant upper trapezius, decreased inferior glide GH

36
Q

Adhesive Capsulitis Stage 4

A

“Thawing stage”, capsular remodeling

Slow/steady recovery ROM, capsular end-feel reached before pain

37
Q

Adhesive Capsulitis Treatment

A

Acute phase: relieve pain and gentle stretch to capsule
Subacute phase: more aggressive ROM, strengthen
Stages 3/4: Grade IV mobs, low load/long dur stretch

38
Q

GH Instability

A

Abnormal symptomatic motion of GH joint that affects normal joint kinematics and results in pain, subluxation, or dislocation

39
Q

GH Subluxation

A

Joint contact lost but capsule not necessarily torn, might just be stretched

40
Q

GH Dislocation

A

Complete separation of joint surfaces

*Usually anterior

41
Q

Bankart Lesion/Repair

A

Avulsion of the anterior inferior labrum from the glenoid rim
*Anterior dislocation, Inferior GH ligament torn

Reattachment of humeral insertion of subscapularis and labrum to anterior glenoid
Tighten anterior capsule
Lose 12 degrees ER post procedure

42
Q

Hill-Sachs Lesion

A

Compression fracture of the posterior humeral head at the site where the humeral head impacted the inferior glenoid rim

43
Q

SLAP Lesion

A

Superior labral lesion that is both anterior and posterior

Insertion of biceps pulls associated portion of superior labrum away creating bucket-handle lesion

44
Q

AC Joint Sprain

A

Acute: fall onto shoulder with arm adducted at side
Chronic: general OA, inflamm arthritis, mechanical probs

45
Q

RC Tear Mechanisms

A

Compression: reduction size of subacromial space
Tensile overload: throwing, hammering
Macrotrauma

46
Q

RC Examination

A

Painful arc: supraspinatus pain during abduction/scaption from 50-130 degrees
Resisted movement:
-Supraspinatus: abduction and ER
-Infraspinatus: ER

Tendonitis: full active AND passive ROM
Tear: humerus higher on affected side (deltoid pulls up), palpable defect at greater tuberosity, muscle atrophy, reverse scapulohumeral rhythm

47
Q

Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

A

Increased superior translation of humeral head –> decreased space in coracoacromial arch and produces compression of suprahumeral structures

48
Q

Primary Impingement

A

Intrinsic degenerative process in structures of subacromial space
Anterior impingement
Limited horizontal abduction, IR
Posterior capsule tightness

49
Q

Secondary Impingement

A

Lesser tuberosity of humerus encroaches on coracoid process
Coracoid impingement
History of traumatic instability, labrum damage, and/or posterior defect of humeral head
Limited IR
Excessive ER
Anterosuperior humeral head migration (poor RC balance)

50
Q

Shoulder Arthritis

A

Humeral head migrating superior–>degeneration

Loss of ROM and strength

51
Q

Total shoulder arthroplasty

A

Replace glenoid fossa and head of humerus

52
Q

Hemiarthroplasty

A

Replace head of humerus

53
Q

Reverse total shoulder

A

Inverted prosthesis so ball is on the scapula and concavity is on humerus

Creates new line of force when RC is not slavagable

54
Q

Subacromial-Subdeltoid Bursitis

A

Common with inflammatory arthritis
“Aching” over deltoid region
Rapid onset with activity
Pain with passive abduction at 180 deg, passive IR, passive horizontal adduction

Palpation distal to AC joint with shoulder in extension

55
Q

Three types of Bursitis

A

Related to activity/trauma
Calcific due to little bone projections from acromion
Infectious

56

How do you differentiate bursitis and tendonitis?

A

If always able to reach overhead without restriction in motion: tendonitis

57
