Shoulder Exam and Intervention Flashcards
1
Q
Define differentiation
A
- The action or process of differentiating
2
Q
Cervical Myelopathy CPR
A
- Abnormal gait
- Hoffman’s test
- Inverted supinator sign
- Babinski sign
- Age ≥45 years
3
Q
Illness script for proximal humerus fractures
A
- Elderly females with osteoporosis
- Low energy ground level fall (FOOSH) typical in elderly or high energy in younger
- Presets like soft tissue swelling, contusion, reduced AROM
- Management: referral, imaging, if non-displaced & stable begin progressive ROM
4
Q
GHJ dislocation illness script
A
- Younger & contact sports or collagen disorders
- MOI: trauma in anterior direction to the shoulder at end range ABD+ER
- Anterior is more frequent dislocation direction
- Acute dislocation check neurovascular
- Traumatic associated conditions: Hill-Sachs lesion (humerus), labral tears
- Generalized instability in 2 planes of movement and age 20-30 years
5
Q
AC fracture illness script
A
- Clavicle Fx is most common shoulder complex type Fx
- Middle 3rd more common than distal 3rd
- MOI: fall onto lateral shoulder or direct impact
- Coracoclaviccula ligament are key for displacement
- Conoid (medial) & trapezoid (lateral) provide primary resistance to superior displacement of the lateral clavicle depending on fracture location
6
Q
Screening for clavicle dislocation
A
- Movement screen: rotates 40-50º posteriorly with shoulder elevation
- Coracoclavicular ligs: controls vertical motion & superior inferior stability
- Acromioclavicular ligs: controls horizontal motion & anterior posterior stability
- AC D/L: disrupts AC & possible CC ligs
- SC D/L: collision contact sports; atraumatic if ligamentous laxity
7
Q
Types of AC dislocations
A
- I = sprain, non-displaced
- II = <25% clavicle elevation, AC ruptured
- III = clavicle elevation, AC, CC ligs & joint capsule ruptured, deltoid & trap detached
- All ruptured/detached
- IV = clavicle displaced posterior into trap
- V = elevated space >25mm
- VI = clavicle displaced behind coracobrachialis & biceps tendons
8
Q
Exam flow for a shoulder examination
A
- Interview
- Observation
- Screening
- Movement scripts/testing
- Palpation & joint mobility testing
- MMT
- Shoulder special Tess
- Performance tests if needed
9
Q
Describe the scapulohumeral rhythm
A
- GHJ allows 120º and scapulothoracic allows 60º
- For every 2º humeral elevation the scapula should elevate by 1º
10
Q
Scapular motions
A
- 60º of upward rotation
- 40-60º of IR/ER
- 30-40º of anterior/posterior tipping
- Elevation/depression or protraction/retraction
11
Q
How do you bring out scapular dyskinesia
A
- Add a low weight with arm elevation
- Dumping: downward rotation with return from elevation
- Winging: medial border not stays close along the thoracic cage
12
Q
Scapular specific mobilizations test
A
- Scapular retraction test
- Modified scapular assistance test
- Scapular reposition test
13
Q
Closed packed position of shoulder joint
A
- 90º ABD & full ER or full ABD & ER
- End range throwing position
14
Q
Open packed position of shoulder joint
A
- 55º ABD & 30º horizontal ABD
- Scaption
15
Q
Describe the shoulder ligaments and their purpose
A
- Coracoclavicualr: anchor the clavicle to the scapula
- Coracoacromial: prevents superior displacement of humeral head
- Coracohumeral: strengthens superior glenohumeral joint capsule
