Q

Describe Neumann’s Principle re: SC and AC movement during scapular rotation

A

Elevation of SC

Rotation of AC

24
Q

Describe Neumann’s Principle re: clavicle movement during shoulder horizontal ABD

A

Clavicle retracts and posteriorly rotates around it’s own axis

25
Q

Describe Neumann’s Principle re: scapular tilt and rotation during horizontal ABD

A

Posterior tilt

External rotation

26
Q

Describe Neumann’s Principle re: humerus movement during horizontal ABD

A

Humerus externally rotates to get greater tuberosity out of the way from acromion

27
Q

Panjabi’s Joint Stability Model - Neural control system

A

Involuntary loops
GTO, muscle spindle, spasm, resting tension, muscle balance and firing pattern
Allows “functional instability”

28
Q

Panjabi’s Joint Stability Model - Passive system factors

A
  1. Joint geometry
  2. Static stabilizers (capsule, ligaments, deltoid muscle bulk)
  3. Joint compressive forces (gravity, capsule suction, glenoid upward inclination)
29
Q

Panjabi’s Joint Stability Model - Active system factors

A
  1. Weight of arm and load (variable)
  2. Compression by rotator cuff
  3. Upward elevation of scapula be parascapular muscles
30
Q

Glenoid Labrum Characteristics

A
  • Narrow at top, wide at bottom
  • Hyaline cartilage lining is thinnest at the center where OA may develop
  • Attachment for ligaments
31
Q

Bankart Labral Tear

A

Ant/Inf dislocation

Tear in ant/inf corner of labrum

32
Q

SLAP lesion

A

Superior Labrum A–>P
Biceps l.h. pulls labrum away from glenoid
“Peel back” mechanism from position of ABD,ER (pitcher)

33
Q

Kim Labral Tear

A

Posterior Inferior labrum

34
Q

GH Joint capsule

A
  • Blends with ligaments
  • Redundancy (Capsule is 2x volume of humeral head) allows mobility, but also allows adhesions to form after injury
  • Highly “reactive” to insults…Fibrosis of capsule
35
Q

Adhesive capsulitis

A

Inflammation of the capsule’s subsynovial layer with fibrosis, contracture, and adhesion between the capsule and the humeral neck, and in pockets of the capsule

  • Self-limiting
  • Treatment: Inferior GH glide
36
Q

GH Ligaments

A

Superior, Middle, and Inferior

Fibers angled upward (from humeral head up toward scapula) to allow for ER

37
Q

Superior GH Ligament

A

Limits inferior glide from anatomical position

38
Q

Middle GH Ligament

A

Limits anterior glide from partial abduction

39
Q

Inferior GH Ligament

A

3 Parts
1. Anterior Band
2. Posterior Band
3. Axillary pouch between the two (like a sling)
Acts as a sling to protect against anterior and inferior instability

40
Q

Coraco-humeral Ligament

A

Strongest supportive ligament
Reinforces rotator cuff interval
Limits inferior GH glide and extremes of GH ER

41
Q

Rotator Cuff Interval

A

Recess between Supra and subscap
-Allows translation of coracoid
-Reinforced by coracohumeral ligament
Scar tissue can form here

42
Q

Scapular Dumping

A

Inferior orientation of glenoid
Humeral head vs. capsule and ligaments
E.g. “mousing shoulder” (using a computer mouse)

43
Q

Glenohumeral instability pattern: TUBS

A

Traumatic Unilateral Bankart Surgery

44
Q

Glenohumeral instability pattern: AMBRI

A

Atraumatic Multidirectional Bilateral Rehabilitation Inferior Cap Shift
- Often can be treated with strengthening dynamic stabilizers

45
Q

Functions of the rotator cuff

A
  1. Humeral rotation and elevation
  2. Stabilizes/ Compresses GH Joint
  3. Positions the GH joint by counterbalancing upward pull of the deltoid (mechanical)
  4. Centers humeral head on glenoid (neuromuscular control)
46
Q

Subscapularis

A
  • Torn with anterior dislocation
  • Glides humerus inferiorly
  • Upper subscapular nerve
47
Q

Supraspinatus

A
  • Most commonly torn, can be asymptomatic
  • Avascular insertion
  • Suprascapular nerve
48
Q

Infraspinatus

A
  • Involved in most large RC tears
  • Glides humerus inferiorly
  • Suprascapular nerve
49
Q

Teres Minor

A
  • Least commonly torn
  • Glides humerus inferiorly
  • Axillary nerve
50
Q

Acetabularization

A

Deltoid overcomes RC strength –> Humerus pulled superiorly –> humeral head + acromion begins to resemble acetabulum

51
Q

Where do the greatest shear forces of the deltoid occur?

A

60 degrees of elevation

These forces are countered by the RC

52
Q

Long head of biceps

A

Limits anterior translation when the arm is positioned in ABD and ER

53
Q

Transverse Ligament

A

Spans from tubercle to tubercle over biceps l.h.

54
Q

Where are the acromial undersurface and the RC most approximated?

A

Between 60 and 120 degrees of elevation

- “painful arc”

55
Q

“Wringing Out” of Supraspinatus

A

Abduction decreases compression on supra tendon and increases blood flow to it.

56
Q

Load and Shift manual translation exam

A

0-3+ grading level of glenumeral anterior translation

57
Q

Anterior Apprehension test

A

Pt in supine, ABD, ER

+ if compression of anterior aspect of GH joint decreases symptoms
