UE various treatments Flashcards
Visual TART screening for shoulder
shoulder height, angle of scapula, spine of scapula, shoulder position in sagittal plane
Joint palpation for shoulder
glenohumeral, SC, AC
Myofascial palpation for shoulder
upper traps, deltoids, pectoralis, rhomboids
Indications for glenohumeral SD BLT
subdeltoid bursitis or frozen shoulder
Glenohumeral BLT
Pt lateral recumbent with dysfx side up, put GH into indirect position
SC ABduction
scapular elevation, inferior SC movement
SC ADduction
shoulder depression, superior SC movement
SC Flexion
Protraction of scapula leading to posterior SC glide
SC Extension
Retraction of scapula leading to anterior SC glide
SC ADducted Still’s
extend and adduct elbow, add compression toward SC joint, move shoulder into superior glide and abduction in posterior circumduction motion
SC ABducted Still’s
abduct and flex elbow, add compression toward sc joint, move shoulder into adduction with anterior circumduction motion
SC HVLA
apply cephalad traction on arm, thrust on SC joint while inducing traction through arm
Direction of thrust for ADducted SC
inferior
Direction of thrust for Extended SC
posterior
AC joint separated SD still’s
affected side abducted with slight extension to open sc joint, apply traction and move arm into adduction/flexion
Supraspinatus TP location
midsupraspinatus just superior to spine of scapulae
Supraspinatus TP positioning
F arm 45 degrees, abduct 45 degrees, externally rotate
Levator scapulae TP location
levator at superior angle of scapula
Levator scapulae TP positioning
Pt head rotated away, IR pt’s shoulder, add mild-moderate traction with minimal abduction
Subscapularis TP location
anterolateral border of scapula on subscapularis m.
