- Subscapularis
Q: What movements occur at the ST joint?
- IR/ER
- Upward/lateral rotation/Downard/medial rotation
- Posterior tilting/Anterior tilting
Q: For what degrees of motion does elevation through abduction occur?
170-180
Term: A mechanical impingement of the subacromial structure, esp. the rotator cuff tendons, beneath the atnerior-inferior poriotn of the acromion
Impingement syndrome
Content: Intrinsic classification of impingement syndrome (4)
- Primary or secondary
- Rotator cuff weakness
- Overuse of the shoulder

Defn: Intrinsic Impingement
Intratendinous
Content: Stages of Adhesive Capsulitis - Pain (4)
1: w/AROM & PROM
2: Chronic pain w/AROM & PROM
3: Min pain except at end ROM
4: Min pain
Content: Stages of Adhesive Capsulitis - Pathologic changes (3)
1: Hypertrophic, hypervascular synovitis, rare inflammatory cell infiltrates, normal underlying capsule
2: Hypertrophic, hypervascular synovitis with perivascular and subsynovial scar, fibroplasias and scar formation in the underlying capsule
3: “Burned-out” synovitis without significant hypertrophy or hypervascularity. Underlying capsule shows dense scar formation
Defn: Subacromial space
Coracoacromial arch: coracoacromial ligament or coracoid process and greater tuberosity of the humerus
Term: Biceps anchor peels off from the supraglenoid tubercle with the associated detachment of the labrum extending for a variable distance anteriorly and/or posteriorly
SLAP type 2
Q: What is an education plan for SLAP lesions?
Avoid MOI and overhead activites
Q: What is a therapeutic exercise plan for SLAP lesions? (2)
- Scapular stabilization exercises
- Posterior capsular stretching
Diagram: Identify the 4 joints
Left to Right, Top to Bottom
- Sternoclavicular
- Acromioclavicular
- Scapulothoracic
- Glenohumeral
Diagram: Ligaments
Top to bottom
- Conoid
- Trapezoid (with conoid = coracoclavicular
- Acromioclavicular
- Coraco-acromial
- Coraco-humeral
- Transverse humeral
- Superior GHL
- Middle GHL
- Inferior GHL
Q: What is a HEP plan for shoulder instability?
Follow the presribed TherEx
Q: What is a modalities plan for shoulder instability? (3)
- Ice,
- Electrical currents
- Diathermy (SWD)
Q: What effects does diathermy have?
Effects similar to subacromial corticosteroid injecitons
Q: For what degrees of motion does IR occur?
60-100
Q: If your scapula is anteriorly tilted you stretch ____________ and strengthen ___________.
Pectoralis minor, lower trap
Content: MOI for shoulder impingement (8)
- Age
- Position of the arm during activites
- Repetitive overhead
- Muscle imbalances
- Capsular tightness
- Postural imbalance
- Structural asymmetry
- Impaired scapular kinematics
Q: What are the symptoms of non-traumatic shoulder instabiltiy?
- Tendinitis
- Sensation of instability and laxity
Q: Which SLAP classification is most common?
Type 2
Q: For what degrees of motion does adduction occur?
50-75
Term: Flap tear of anterior labrum with detrachment of biceps anchor
SLAP type 6
Q: What are the symtpoms for traumatic shoulder instability?
Recurrent shoulder dislocation (chronic phase)
Content: MOI for SLAP lesions (2)
- Sudden eccentric biceps contraction as in trying to grap an object while falling from a height or a FOOSH
- Repetitive overhead activity (overhead athletes) - esp. baseball players
Q: What is the diagnosis for a pt who is young with repetitive overhead/athletic activity with painful arc symptoms?
Secondary impingement
Content: Stage 2 of impingement syndrome (2)
- Represents irreversible changes (fibrosis/teninitis) of the rotator cuff
- pts. 25-40 yo
Q: What is an assistive device plan for frozen shoulder?
Low load prolonged stress equipment
Q: What is an manual therapy plan for shoulder instability?
Depends on exam findings, may not be applicable
Q: For what degrees of motion does elevation through forward flexion occur?
160-180
Q: What is the ratio for glenohumeral/scapulothoracic movement?
5:4
Content: Stage 1 of impingement syndrome (2)
- Characterized by edema and hemorrhage of the bursa and cuff
- Pts. < 25 yo
Q: What is roll and glide for humeral extension?
R = post
G = ant
Q: What is roll and glide for humeral horizontal adduction?
R = ant
G = post
Q: Why can a pt. not hold up there arm when you perform a drop test?
If the supraspinatus is ruptured, it can not compress the shoulder joint/engage it to allow the deltoid to due it’s job.
