Q

What makes the Painful Arc Test so important

A

Highest positive likelyhood ratio of all rotatory cuff maneuvers & lowest negative likelyhood ratio of all rotatory cuff maneuvers.

It’s the most sensitive & specific

16
Q

How does a AC joint injury typically occur

A

Direct trauma to the superior or lateral aspect of the shoulder (acromion) with the arm adducted

(Direct blow or falling onto the shoulder)

17
Q

What are some extrinsic causes of shoulder pain

A

GI related, Upper lung disease & diaphragm irritation

These are also known as referred pain

18
Q

What are some intrinsic causes of shoulder pain

A

Septic arthritis, overuse, bursitis & synovitis

19
Q

Where does the most common Rotator Cuff Injury occure

A

Supraspinatus Tendon

20
Q

Rotator Cuff diagnosis

A

X-rays are not helpful

Ultrasound &/or MRI are the tests of choice

21
Q

Adduction of GH joint

A

Scapular motion - Depressed

Clavicle AC joint (distal) - Inferior glide

Clavicle SC joint (proximal) - Superior glide

22
Q

Abduction GH joint motion

A

Scapular motion - Elevation

Clavicle AC joint (distal) - Superior glide

Clavicle SC joint (proximal) - Inferior glide

23
Q

Flexion GH joint motion

A

Scapular motion - protraction

Clavicle AC joint (distal) - anterior glide

Clavicle SC joint (proximal) - posterior glide

24
Q

Extension GH joint motion

A

Scapular motion - Retraction

Clavicle AC joint (distal) - Posterior glide

Clavicle SC joint (proximal) - Anterior glide

25
Q

Internal Rotation GH joint motion

A

Scapular motion - none

Clavicle AC joint (distal) - Internal rotation

Clavicle SC joint (proximal) - none

26
Q

External Rotation GH joint motion

A

Scapular motion - none

Clavicle AC joint (distal) - external rotation

Clavicle SC joint (proximal) - none

27
Q

Apprehension Test

A

Test for - Glenohumeral Instability

(+) Test - Patient apprehension

Think how apprehensive you get when someone trying to bend your shoulder’s backward

28
Q

Empty Can Test

A

Tests for Rotator Cuff Pathology specifically Supraspinatous Pathology

+ Test = pain or weakness

Think of motion when you pour out soda’s with both hands

29
Q

Drop Arm Test

A

Rotator Cuff Pathology - Supraspinatous

+ Test = Uncontrolled arm drop

30
Q

Painful Arc Test

A

Subacromial Bursa Impingement &/or Rotator Cuff injury

+ Test = pain btw 60-120 degrees of abduction

31
Q

Neer Impingement

A

Subacromial Bursa Impingement &/or Rotator Cuff impingement

+ Test = Pain

Neer to the Ear

32
Q

Hwakins Test

A

Subacromial Bursa Impingement &/or Rotator Cuff impingement

+ Test = Pain

33
Q

Cross Arm Test

A

AC joint pathology

+ Test = AC joint pain or increased tissue texture abnormalities

34
Q

What forces are used in a shoulder myofascial release?

A

distraction, compression, twist & shear

35
Q

Spencer’s Technqiue

What does it treat

Direct or Indirect

How is the patient positioned

A

Glenohumeral joint

Direct/restrictive barrier - MFR and/or MET

Lateral recumbent with involved shoulder up

36
Q

What are the steps of Spencer’s technique

A

Extension

Flexion

Compression Circumduction

Traction circumduction

ABduction w/ external rotation

ADduction

Internal Rotation

Traction w/ inferior glide

37
Q

How are the AC and SC somatic disfunctions named

A

They are named after the direction the shoulder likes to go
