shoulder Flashcards
St-Cl fluid motion
place fingers at St-Cl joints and ask pt to shrug and roll their shoulders
A-C PS fluid motion
compress humeral head into the glenoid fossa, then apply S-I pressure over distal end of clavicle
GH fluid motion
block AC and scapular spine with 1 hand, apply I-S pressure at elbow
S-T fluid motion
place thumbs at medial inferior angle, applying M-L pressure. Place thumbs at lateral-inferior angle applying L-M pressure
3 indications of an inferior humerus
sulcus sign pain at anterior GH joint loss of fluid motion loss of external rotation anterior deltoid weakness
indications of a posterior humerus
no visual change loss of fluid motion pain at posterior GH joint loss of internal rotation teres major weakness
routine shoulder exam
St-Cl A-C GH Sc-Th St-Co spine
on a S-T lateral, what position do we place the pt’s arm
behind their back
doctor reaches through arm opening
where is #11 of the stabilization hand
over A-C joint
where are the fingers
over GH joint
in what direction does the stabilization hand push to bring the joint to tension
S-I
what’s the pain point for S-T L
deep to or under the scapula, in the subscapularis
differentiate S-T L from S-T M
fluid motion
visualization
L: loss of internal rotation
M: loss of external rotation
what part of the S-H ratio would be decreased with a GH P
GH portion
MC mistakes for a S-T M, prone
shoulder should be off the table
stand on opposite side of contact
use inferior contact hand
GH P prone LOC
P-A
where is the pt’s shoulder
supported on the table
why is the shoulder on the table
for stabilization
indication of a Yergason’s positive
tear or sprain of transverse humeral ligament
drop arm test
pt lowers arm against gravity: grade 3
lower against resistance: grade 2
impulse on arm: grade 1
GH P seated LOC
straight P-A
