Shoulder Complex I and II: Test 3 Flashcards
what are the normal dominant side asymmetries
ips shoulder depression
less IR
ips thoracolumbar SB and RT
hyperextended knee
flat foot
functional ROM for: washing, donning shirt, reaching high shelf, and fastening bra
washing = 120 flex (hair) and 75 (trunk)
shirt = 90 flex
high shelf = 150 flex
bra = 50+ ext, 70 horizontal add, and full IR
movement of humerus is accompanied by
scapula
AC
SC
upper thoracic
upper costotransverse
importance of companion motions of shoulder complex
Optimal motion
prevents impingement
keeps actin/myosin overlap efficient (prevents active insufficiency)
humerus motions with overhead reach 0-150
FLX/ABD/ER
concentric control of flexors, abductors, and ERs
eccentric control of opposite muscles
scapula motions with 0-150 overhead reach
elevation, upward RT, and protract around AC
concentric control of elevators, up RTs, and protractors
eccentric of opposite
when is there max tension on the brachial plexus with overhead reach
at 150 degrees as clavicle posteriorly rotates
what are the motions of the humerus with 150-200 overhead reach
FLX/abd/ER
same muscle actions as below 150
motions of the scapula with 150-200 overhead reach
depress/retract/post tilt around SC
concentric control of these above muscle groups especially LT if there is 150 degrees of motions with GH and ST motion and upper T spine ext
eccentric = opposite
how does the upper t spine move with 150-200 overhead reach
ips SB and RT
why is it important motion at the upper T spine is unilateral with overhead reach
triggers concentric control of LT along with subclavius for scap and clavicle motions
prevents excess tension on brachial plexus by limiting more post clavicular RT
hypo mobility leads to GH and AC joints becoming hyper mobile to compensate
upper T spine hypomobility causes what
inhibits LT (up RT and depression) = impaired scap motion
compensatory motion at AC and GH
excessive posterior clavicular RT and tension on medial cord of brachial plexus (median and ulnar n paresthesias)
movements of humerus with reaching behind back
hyper ext/ADD/IR
concentric control = hyperextenders, adductors, and IRs
eccentric = opposite
movement of scapula with reaching behind back
elevation/Down RT/retract
concentric control = elevators, down RT, and retractors
eccentric = opposite
JMs effectiveness for shoulder injuries
useful for a variety of common RC disorders, shoulder disorders, adhesive capsulitis, and soft tissue disorders
applied to shoulder complex joints
effective intervention with or without exercise and or multimodal therapy
more recent systematic reviews of RC tendinopathy say what
do not rely on manual therapy alone
TherEx effectiveness for shoulder interventions
good for various shoulder conditions
effective as an intervention
no added benefits with STM was added with nonspecific shoulder pain, ROM and function
MET order and emphasis for shoulder complex
- tight grip RC muscles
-ER during exercises when you can (better scap muscle activation)
-Local muscle activation (RC and scap)
-prone scap exercises
-Ex on both sides (motor cortex activity)
-Global muscles
-higher level goals (i.e. LE and multiplanar ex)
how can serratus anterior be better activated
closed chain activities
wall slides = lower activation of LT/MT/LS/RM
advance to UE weight shifts, push ups, off/on unstable surfaces
why are prone scap exercises good? examples?
limit compensation of UT and activate more needed muscles
I, T, W, Y
compare the effectiveness of JM and TherEx
combo of both was as effective as TherEx alone
one isnt conclusively better than the other
is exercsie or MT more beneficial for RC tendinopathy
exercise
effects of cervical manipulation
diminished severity if shoulder pain
improved shoulder and neck mobility
effectiveness of C5-C6 JM
immediate increase in muscle strength of the ERs
carry over for 10 minutes but not after 20 minutes
evidence of what conditions may be high indicators for a future shoulder problem
cervical trauma
cervical hyper mobility/instability
age related neck changes
prolonged FHP
why it is important to minimize FHP
thoracic extensors overwork to compensate for excessive flexion and decreased diagram fxn
thoracic stiffness develops
dry needling support for non traumatic shoulder pain and disability
moderate quality of evidence of a small and short term effect
4 positive factors fro those referred to PT with shoulder pain
lower baseline disability
lower symptoms at rest
high pt expectation with PT
higher self efficacy despite symptoms
