- SLAP
- Scapular Dyskinesia
Fractures pending type/location, may be managed with ___________ or ___________________.
- immobilization
- surgical fixation
In regards to fractures, we need to consider appropriate time frames for tissue _______ via communication with medical providers and following medical guidelines.
loading
Patients with RA go through periods of _______ and _________.
remission and progression
What is a good question to ask patients with RA.
What has flared you up before?
-Can give a good indication to amount of stress you can place without causing a flare-up.
When patients with RA are having a flare-up, we are generally working on things such as _____ management and _________ of ROM rather than gain of ROM. What are some ways to do this?
Pain Management and Maintance of ROM
- electrotherapeutic modalities
- cryotherapy/thermal modalities
When patients with RA are not in a flare-up, what can we work on?
- Conservative strengthening/mobility exercises
- Conservative manual therapy
SC joint sprains can be divided into 3 degrees. How are 1st and 2nd degrees managed differently from a 3rd degree SC joint sprain?
1st and 2nd
- Typically managed conservatively
- 3-4 days immobilization
3rd
-shoulder sling or figure 8 strap for 2-3 weeks f/b continued protection 2 additional weeks
ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY
ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY
Tendinopathy can refer to ________ or ________.

With tendonitis, we want to work on things that reduce what?
Inflammation
Tendinosis involves a failed ________ response and is ________.
- healing
- chronic
When appropriate with tendinopathy, we want to start to reintroduce _______ to the tissue. This involves what law?
- loading
- Wolff’s law
Is eccentric or concentric better for tendinosis?
eccentric
With tendinopathy, what factors may we want to address?
- posterior and/or inferior capsule hypomobility
- scapulothoracic coordination impairments
- AC/SC joint hypomobility

What is a sleeper stretch? When is it used?
- Side lying and patient applies overpressure to their hand into IR.
- If there is subacromial compression or any hypomobility at the GH joint in the posterior aspect.
What are some conservative interventions for subacromial pain syndrome?
- PATIENT EDUCATION
- joint mobilization
- stretching
- promote tissue healing/remodeling
- coordination training
- strengthening
What are some common things to educate patients about when talking about subacromial impingement?

- Activity modification/avoidance
What muscles should we up-train in subacromial impingment?
- Inferior Trapezius
- Serratus Anterior
- Subscapularis
