how is the posterior capsule tightened in GHJ
flexion adduction IR
how is the anterior capsule of GHJ tightening
extension abduction ER
ideal shoulder function
good posture
humerus is central in glenoid
mm balance
neuromuscular function
causes of stiff shoulder
habitual postures mm imbalance trauma post surgical unknown
clinical presentation of stiff shoulder
+- pain
loss of ROM
compensation
capsular length restriction
may have impingement
frozen shoulder
global tightness
types of capsular tightness
global and regional (more common)
anterosuperior capsule tightness
pulls humerus anterosuperiorly
loss of ER / end rage ABD
posterior capsule tightness
limitation in IR and horizontal ADD
weak ER and scap stabilizers
impingement
pinched humerus and acromion or coracoid
painful arc
causes of impingement
