Shoulder lecture Flashcards
what are the bones that make up the shoulder
1) scapula
2) clavicle
3) humeral head
4) posterior rib cage
what are the joints that make up the shoulder
1) GH
2) Scapulothorastic
3) AC
4) SC
Approximation
the compression of a segment/joint surface that is sues to promote stability in the joint by stimulating type 1 receptors that facilitate postural stability
Joint Centration
achieved by the combined neuro motor tasks of stabilization and dissociation to position the joint properly in space.
Local muscles definition
involved in joint position or stabilization. These muscles provide the stability to allow for the mobility of the joint
Global muscles definition
involved in the movement of the joint by transferring and absorbing forces from the extremities
what is the closed pack position of the GH
90 degrees abd, and full ER
what is the open pack position of the GH
55 degrees ABD and 30 degrees horizontal ADD.
what is the capsular pattern of the shoulder
ER, Abd, and IR
What should you test for if the patient reports instability of the shoulder
Labrum tests: apprehension, relocation, jerks, sulcus
what should you test for if the pt reports of loss of ROM into abduction or flexion
Check for SAPS: hawkins kennedy, neer, painful arc, empty can, full can, and shoulder iso ER.
what should you test for if the pt reports of painful overhead arc
check for the SAPS and RCRPS clusters
what should you test for if the patient reports of nighttime awakening
internal derangement
what is kiber type 1
the anterior tilt of the scapula with a more prominent inferior angle when the patients hands are on their hips. there would be tenderness to palpation fo the coracoid process
what muscles would be tight in kiber type 1
pec minor and short head of the biceps
what muscles would be weak in kiber. type 2
LT, lats, and serratus
kiber type 2
entire medial border of the scapula is off the ribs and the glenoid fossa moves anteriorly which increases the likelihood of anterior GH instability
what muscles are weak in kiber type 2
serratus and lower traps
kiber type 3
superior border of the scapula is elevated in response to movement. Common in frozen shoulder and RCRPS
what muscles tight in kiber type 3
upper trap
what muscles are weak in kiber type 3
lower trap
what vertebral level is the superior lateral point of the spine of the scapula
C7
what vertebral level is the inferior medial point of the spine of the scapula
T3
what vertebral level is the inferior angle of the scapula
T7
what vertebral level is the pelvis
L3-L4
What is the mechanism of AC joint separation
Traumatic
- fall on outstretched arms
- direct blow or landing on the anterior shoulder
what would the subjective be of an AC joint separation
- pain relief with cradling the arm
- localized pain over the AC joint
- pain with flexion, abduction, and horizontal ADD
what would the objective be of an AC joint separation
- type 3 would have an obvious deformity
- swelling over the AC joint
- pain aggravated with H. ADD
- positive cross over/ jerks, AC resisted extension
- positive AC joint cluster
Type 1 AC joint seperation
AC joint ligaments are partially or completely disrupted but coracoclavicular ligaments are in tact
Type 2 AC joint seperation
AC joint ligaments are torn in addition to the coracoclavicular ligaments are partially disrupted
Type 3 AC joint seperation
the coracoclavicular ligaments are completely disrupted and there is complete separation of the clavicle from the acromion
Type 4-6 AC joint seperation
very uncommon. the periosteum of the clavical and/or the deltoid and trapezius muscle are also torn, causing wide spread displacement
what is the treatment goal of a AC joint seperation
reduce direct pressure and traction at the AC joint
prognosis/ RTS for type 1 and 2 AC joint seperations
2-4 weeks
what is the tx for type 1 and 2 AC joint seperation
RICE, gental ROM, and stretch traps and deltoids
what is the tx for type 3 and 4 AC joint seperation
refer out for surgery
Phase 1 AC joint seperation post op ROM limitations for first 6 weeks
- flexion limited to 90
- limited IR and ER
- no horizontal ADD
- no lifting objects over 5 lbs
- no stretching
Phase 1 AC joint seperation post op treatment ideas
- pendulums
- supine shoulder flex to 90
- supine ER to neutral
- Scapular retraction
- ISO metric holds in all planes
phase 2 AC joint seperation post op treatment (7-12 weeks) goals
restore normal ROM in all planes, increase strength and neuromuscular control, increase proprioception
phase 3 AC joint seperation post op treatment (13-18 weeks) goals
horizontal ADD stretching, IR behind the back stretching, full ER to 90 stretching
when can push ups at the wall be implemented into post op AC rehab?
12 weeks post surgery
when can weight training be implemented into post op AC rehab
16 weeks post surgery
when can UE plyometrics and RTS throwing be implemented into post op AC rehab
19 weeks post surgery
what is primary adhesive capsulitis
idiopathic, progressive, and painful loss of AROM and PROM (diabetes is included in this one)
what is secondary adhesive capsulitis
traumatic in origin or related to a disease processes. The patient is able to pinpoint a time of onset.
how long does the “pre freezing” stage 1 adhesive capsulitis last
1 to 3 mo
characteristics of the pre freezing stage 1 adhesive capsulitis
- shoulder aches when not using
- sharp/stabbing pain when shoulder is moved
- loss of ER
- pain is the hallmark feature of this phase
how long does the freezing phase 2 of adhesive capsulitis last
3 to 9 mo
what are the characteristics of the freezing phase 2 of adhesive capsulitis
- progressive loss of ROM and pain at night.
- limited by stiffness and pain
- hallmark feature is stiffness
how does does the thawing phase 3 of adhesive capsulitis last
9 to 14 months
what are the characteristics of the thawing phase 3 of adhesive capsulitis
pain will start to decrease and patient will start to restore ROM
