UE various treatments Flashcards
Range of motion for shoulder
Flexion: 180° Extension: 60° Abduction: 180° Horizontal Adduction: 130-140° Horizontal Abduction: 40-55
What tx is indicated with subdeltoid bursitis or frozen shoulder?
lateral recumbent, dr behind pt
pt bends elbow of sd, dr stabilizes shoulder and elbow
put the GH joint in its INDIRECT position (abduction/adduction, flexion/extension, compression/traction, IR/ER)
hold until release
What scapular motion leads to what inferior movement of sc joint? superior movement?
Scapular Elevation leads to inferior movement of SC joint
-SC ABduction
Shoulder Depression leads to superior motion of SC Joint
-SC ADduction
In 90 degrees Shoulder Flexion, what movement leads to posterior glide of the clavicle? anterior glide?
Protraction of the scapula = posterior glide of the clavicle at the SC Joint
-SC Flexion
Retraction of the scapula = anterior glide of the clavicle at the SC joint
-SC Extension
How to dx for SC Joint ABduction/ADduction?
pt supine, dr at head of bed w finger on both clavicular heads
shrugs shoulders up (ABduction)
inferior/caudal felt at SC join
pulls shoulders down (ADduction)
- superior/cephalad felt at SC joint
How to dx for SC Joint flextion and extention?
dr hands on head of clavicle
pt flexes arm to 90 degrees by reaching to ceiling
- posterior clavicle movement felt
lowers pt arm toward the table (extension)
-anterior movement felt
What would you use to prep the SC joint?
SC elevated/adducted sd ART/MET
SC joint ART
SC horizontal extension SD MET
how do you perform sc elevated/adducted sd with still’s?
pt seated w/dr behind holding sc joint w one hand, elbow w the other
elbow adducted/ extended
compress toward SC joint
move shoulder into superior glide and abduction w posterior circumduction motion
SC Depressed/ABducted SD Still Technique
pt seated w/dr behind holding sc joint w one hand, elbow w the other
elbow abducted and slightly flexed
elbow adducted/ extended
move shoulder into adduction with anterior circumduction motion
Sternoclavicular SD HVLA
pt supine, dr at head of table
thenar eminence of monitoring hand over restricted SC joint
Apply cephalad traction on arm w/ dysfunction
Apply thrust on SC joint while simultaneously inducing a rapid traction force through the patient’s arm
what type of thrust do you do for Adduction SD hvla?
Extension SD hvla?
Adduction SD
- Elevated SC
- inferior thrust
Extension SD
- Anterior SC
- posterior thrust
what type of test do you do to diagnosis AC joint?
look and feel for step off
cross arm adduction test
-Positive test = pain or increased tissue texture abnormalities
Spring inferiorly on distal clavicle (compare bilaterally)
•Resistant to springing inferiorly (Clavicle Superior)
•Presence of springing inferiorly (Clavicle Inferior)
Spring anterior to posterior (compare bilaterally)
AC Joint Separated SD Still Technique
- Patient seated, physician in front of patient
- Affected side is abducted, with slight extension to open the AC joint
- Traction is applied
- The arm is moved into adduction/flexion
- Traction is removed and arm is returned to neutral
what tx do you do for R clavicle superior glide?
AC Joint –Direct –seated ART
- Grasp elbow or forearm of SD
- Grasp clavicle w/ SD b/w thumb and fingers of free hand. (Thumb on posterior/superior surface of distal clavicle & Not on scapula)
- Apply anterior/inferior pressure with thumb on lateral (or posterior) aspect of clavicle while flexing patients elbow, extending and adducting humerus (to gap AC joint)
- move shoulder in circular motion (posterior, superior, then anteromedial while maintaining adduction and capsular tension)
Counterstrain for Supraspinatus: F Abd ER
Location: midsupraspinatus muscle just superior to spine of scapulae
Pt supine
Dr Ipsi to TP
patient’s arm is flexed 45 degrees, abducted 45 degrees, and externally rotated
Counterstrain for Levator Scapulae: IR Abd traction
Location: in levator at the superior angle of the scapula
Pt prone, head rotated away
Dr Ipsi to TP
IR pt’s shoulder, add mild-mod traction with minimal abduction
Counterstrain for Subscapularis: E IR
Location: anterolateral border of the scapula on the subscapularis muscle (press posterior and medially)
Pt supine
Dr seated ipsi
pt’s shoulder extended and IR, traction can help
Counterstrain for Biceps Brachii (Long Head): F Abd IR
Location: over long head of biceps tendon in bicipital groove
Pt supine
Dr ipsi
Positioning: elbow and shoulder flexed, arm is minimally abducted and IR
