Q

GHJ dislocation illness script

A

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

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

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

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

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

Q

What is the GHJ capsular pattern

A
  • ER > ABD > IR limited
  • ER limited more than ABD and ABD limited more than IR
  • Occurs in a 3-2-1 ratio
17
Q

When are the anterior GH ligaments under tension

A
  • Shoulder extension, ABD, and/or ER
18
Q

When are the poster GH ligaments under tension

A
  • Shoulder flexion and ER
19
Q

When are the inferior GH ligaments under tension

A
  • Shoulder ABD, extension, and/or ER
  • Primary restraint against anterior/posterior dislocation of humeral head
20
Q

Where does the supraspinatus refer for myofacial pain

A
  • Spine of scapula
  • Hot spot on lateral shoulder/deltoid insertion
  • Down the arm laterally to the wrist
  • Hot spot on lateral elbow/olecranon
21
Q

Where does the infraspinatus refer for myofacial pain

A
  • Unilateral suboccipital neck area
  • Hot spot on lateral shoulder/deltoid insertion
  • Hot spot on anterior shoulder down middle of bicep muscle belly
  • Down lateral arm across back and palm side of hand
22
Q

Where does the latissimus dorsi refer for myofacial pain

A
  • Hot spot on unilateral back at inferior angle of scapula
  • Across scapula into the axilla and down medial arm across the 4th/5th digits front/back
23

28
Q

Describe SNout and SPIN

A
  • Sensitivity is a true positive rate
  • Snout = when Neg. it rules it OUT
  • Specificity is a true negative rate
  • Spin = when Pos. it rules it IN
29
Q

Describe the IRRST (internal rotation resisted strength test)

A
  • Used to assist with clinical reasoning
  • Can help differentiate between rotator cuff, extra-articular, and intra-articular
30
Q

Mobility differences based on rotator cuff, extra-articular, and intra-articular issues

A
  • RTC: IR is stronger than ER
  • Extra-articular: IR and ER are relatively equal in strength
  • Intra-articular: IR is weaker than ER
