UE part 1 trigger Flashcards
what rotator cuff muscles do external rotation
teres minor and infraspinatus
hornblower tests what muscles
infraspinatus and teres minor
gerber lift off tests what muscle
subscapularis
stabilizing the scapula, flexing the shoulder to 90 degrees and applying posterior force should assess for what muscle weakness if winging is present?
serratus anterior
what test compresses the rotator cuff tendons between greater tuberosity & anterior acromion?
what does a positive test suggest?
neer impingement test
+ = rotator cuff tear or impingement syndrome
what test assesses for impingement of the supraspinatus tendon specifically
hawkins kennedy
what test assesses for AC joint pathology or arthritis
crossover test
90d flexion + max internal rotation + elbow flex 90d
Adduct arm across horizontal while pushing humerus in posterior position
what test is this and what does it assess for
jerk test -> posterior shoulder instability
pain presenting at 60-120 degrees of abduction is indicative of what
shoulder impingement
gradual onset of shoulder pain anteriorly and laterally. night pain and difficulty sleeping on the affected side. pain worsened by overhead activity.
impingement syndrome
PE shows tenderness over greater tuberosity and subacromial bursa. pain w abduction between 90-120 as well as when lowering arm back down. crepitus w movement.
shoulder impingement
when do you use anesthetic injection for diagnosis?
differentiating between impingement and tear.
improvement of empty can after injection = impingement
when do you consider corticosteroid injections and PT in impingement disorder
Steroid injections - if no imporvemnet in 4-6 wks
PT if no improvement in 3-4 weeks
OT only if PT fails
caused by repetitive overhead moevement
rotator cuff tendonitis
risk factors include increased BMI, DM, and HLD
rotator cuff tendonitis
also pitching (repetitive movements duh)
presents with aching/soreness w throwing. decreased accuracy and performance. pain w ADLs. improvement w rest
stage 1 tendonitis
posterior shoulder pain with activity and at night. loss of ROM abduction and ext rotation. does not improve w rest
stage 2 tendonitis
Passive ROM>Active ROM. pain above 90d abduction. tenderness along affected muscles. + empty can, neers, and hawkins
rotator cuff tendonitis
MSK US shows hypoechogenicity, hyperechogenicity, and thickening by >5-6mm
Rotator cuff tendonitis
what radiograph view should you obtain for shoulder dislocation, proximal humerus or scapula fx
scapular Y view
what radiograph view should you recieve for humeral head and glenoid problems
axillary
