Shoulder Flashcards
Scapula position on thorax
Sup at second thoracic vert
Inf at seventh thoracic vert
30-45 set in coronal plane
Shoulder ligaments and restrictions on motion
Superior and anterior gh jt.
1) superior - restraint to inf translation in addicted position at side.
2) middle- anterior translation in mid range abd up to 45/ limits ER with arm at side.
3) inferior- (ant and post band and hammock) limits ant and post translation at 90 abd/. Also wraps around to Limit translation during rotation
Clavicle and joint arthrokinematics and important ligaments
Saddle
Medial: concave in a/p, convex inf/sup
Posterior stereoclvicular lig- stab ant/post translation
Lateral: 3 degrees of freedom
Conoid and trapezoid (cc lig)- stab medial to ac jt
Supraspinatus role in rtc force couple
Counteract deltoid and approximate gunmetal head
Upper trap and serratus ant force couple 4 crucial functions
1) scap rot for glenoid positioning
2) length tension relationship for deltoid
3) prevents impingement of rtc
4) stable scapular base to enable appropriate rtc mm recruitment
Mech of secondary impingement
Above 90 rhythm relies on sa, lt, mt which have decreased levels of firing
Ant/post rtc force couple
Results in inf dynamic stability and concavity-compression mechanism
Mid range of elevation
Deficts common in throwing athletes
Impingement site of suprascapular nerve
Suprascapular notch and spingolenoid notch and paralabral cyst with labral lesions
ID with scalloping of infraspinatus, only if at spingolenoid notch
3 primary scapular conditions
Inferior angle scapular dysfunction- ant tip of scapula, common with rtc impingement
Medial border dysfunction- IR of scapula in transverse plane, common with gh instability, “antetilting”
Superior scapular dysfunction- early/excessive sip scap elevation, common with rtc weakness and force couple imbalances
SAT, SRT, and flip tests
SAT 77%-91%
SRT- manual scap retraction during difficult movement
Flip- restated ER medial border away from thorax (SA and trap force couple)
Loses of IR
Common in overhead.
Secondary to post capsule tightness which can lead to ant shear of humerus and increased superior migration of general head with shoulder elevation.
Throwing phase peak stress on external rotators
At Follow through phase
Strength test rtc
Supra- full can
Infra- 0 elevation, 45 IR from neutral
Teres- 90 abd, 90 ER
du scap- lift off, bear hug, belly press. All high sp, low sn
Impingement tests
Neer- sp= 53%, sn= 79%, +LR= 1.76, -LR= 12.5
Hawkins- sp= 59%, sn= 79%, +LR= 1.63, -LR= 19.95
Yocum
Empty can- +LR= 3.9, -LR= .5
Instability tests and grades
Humeral head translation:
- anterior drawer 7.8 mm: 0-30= sup lig, 30-60= middle lig, 90= inf lig
- posterior drawer 7.9 mm: at 90
- sulcus sign indicates multidirectional instability, assess integrity of sup gh lig and coracohumeral lig- 10mm trans
- grades: 1= within glenoid, 2= over glenoid with spontaneous return, but no sx indicates laxity in jt, 3= over glenoid with no return.
- subluxation relocation test +LR=10.4-67, -LR= .2-.33
- apprehension +LR= 20.2-53, -LR= .29-.47
- suprise +LR= 58.6, -LR= .37
- Breighton scale
Labral tears types and location
Transverse, longitudinal, flap, horizontal cleavage, and fibrillated tears
60% ant sup
18% Post sup
1% ant inf
Labral tests
Clunk test Circumduction test Compression rotation- sp .24-.26/ sn= .76-.98 Crank test O'brien test- sp= .47-.99/sn= .11-.98 Memorial test Biceps load 2- sn= .90/sp= .97 Passive distraction test- sn=.53/sp= .94 ER supination test Jerk test- sn= .73/sp=.98 Kim test- sn=.80/sp= .94
Bankart versus SLAP
Bankart- up to 85% of dislocations, btwn 2-6 o’clock
SLAP- 10-2 o’clock
Four main types:
1) partial, fraying, not completely detached
2) labrum completely torn off glenoid (a,b,c)
3) bucket handle
4) tear extends along biceps tendon
