UE ROM Flashcards
Shoulder horizontal ABD and ADD ROM (shoulder and glenohumeral fixation)
ROM - CMC thumb (Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, Opposition - also test 5th CMC digit mobility)
ROM - MCP thumb and fingers (Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction)
GH joint - observation (don’t forget 4 point palpation!)
Posterior
- Scoliosis, Scapula (Lower, protracted, Winging, Spine of scap - Any atrophy above (supraspinatus) below (infraspinatus))
Anterior
- Shoulders level, Clavicle asymmetry, Atrophy (pect, deltoid), LH biceps atrophy
Humeral head position (relative to acromion)
- Can use the four (4) Point Palpation to Ax it (One hand on acromion anteriorly & posteriorly, One hand on humeral head anteriorly & posteriorly)
- Normal (ant-post) = 1/3 anterior
- Abnormal: > 1/3 anterior or posterior, Inferior max 1 finger = inferior hypermobility/instability
Scapula normal position
- Inferior angle: around T7
- Sup angle: T2
- Look for any: Superior/inferior rotation, Internal rotation = Winging, Ant tilt, Winging, Lat distance med scap & SP (protraction)

GH joint - palpation: greater tuberosity, bicipital groove, lesser tuberosity

GH joint - palpation: supraspinatus tendon

GH joint - palpation: infraspinatus tendon

GH joint - palpation: teres minor tendon

GH joint - palpation: subscapularis tendon

scapula combined movements (ax ms flexibility)

scapula combined movements (ax ms strength)

SC joint ROM
Pt in sitting:
- Palpate the SC jt
- Assess using scapulo-thoracic physiological movts
Depression: Superior glide clavicle on sternum (♂)
Elevation: Inferior glide clavicle on sternum (♂)
Retraction: Posterior glide clavicle on sternum (♀)
Protraction: Anterior glide clavicle on sternum (♀)
