Shoulder complaint Flashcards
referral from cervical or thoracic spine facet or trigger points
shoulder pain
radicular pain from cervical nerve root compression
shoulder pain
peripheral nerve and brachial plexus entrapments
shoulder pain
referral from visceral sources such as diaphragm, gallbladder, lungs or heart
shoulder pain
shoulder pain from trauma could be:
fracture, dislocation, tendon rupture
shoulder pain from overuse could be:
tendinitis, capsular sprain, bursitis
shoulder pain from arthritides could be:
osteoarthritis, RA
other sources of shoulder pain
tumor or infection
anterior shoulder pain from trauma could be:
fracture, dislocation, subacromial bursitis, capsular sprain, labrum tear
anterior shoulder pain not from trauma could be:
general impingement syndrome, biceps tendinitis, subacromial bursitis, subluxation
lateral shoulder pain from trauma could be:
contusion, supraspinatus rupture, referral from cervical spine or brachial plexus injury
lateral shoulder pain not from trauma could be:
impingement syndrome, deltoid strain, supraspinatus tear or rupture, referral from cervical spine
superior shoulder pain from trauma could be:
AC joint separation, distal clavicle fracture
superior shoulder pain not from trauma could be:
OA of AC joint, osteolysis of distal clavicle
posterior shoulder pain from trauma could be:
scapular fracture, posterior dislocation
posterior shoulder pain not from trauma could be:
posterior impingement, infraspinatus or teres minor strain, posterior deltoid strain, triceps strain, suprascapular nerve entrapment
blow to the anterior shoulder could cause
dislocation, subluxation, contusion
fall on top of shoulder could cause
AC joint separation, distal clavicle fracture
FOOSH could cause
AC separation, clavicle fracture, posterior dislocation glenoid labrum, rotator cuff tear
arm forced into external rotation and horizontal abduction with shoulder flexed to 90 degrees could cause
anterior dislocation, glenoid labrum tear
sudden contraction of the arm could cause
subluxation, brachical plexus traction injury
sudden pain with weightlifting could cause
muscle/tendon rupture, labrum tear
if pt has pain, no history of trauma, all ranges of motion are painful:
acute subacromial bursitis or early adhesive capsulitis
pt reports lateral/anterior shoulder pain with overhead activities or exhibit a painful arc
subacromial impingement, tendinitis, or bursitis
pt reports instability, apprehension, painful activities when shoulder is abducted and externally rotated
shoulder instability or labral tear if clicking
