35
Intrinsic Rotator Cuff Injuries
Age-related changes Critical zone (supraspinatus insertion on the greater tuberosity has poor blood supply/hypovascularity)
36
Extrinsic Rotator Cuff Injuries
Repeated overhead movements with IR (cause RTC to move against acromion)
37
Most commonly injured RTC tendon
Supraspinatus (ABduction/elevation)
38
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
At subacromial space Bursa, supraspinatus, joint capsule, LH of biceps are vulnerable to impingement
39
Neer's Classification of Shoulder Impingement
Stage 1: edema, hemorrhage from excessive overhead use (reversible) Stage 2: fibrosis, tendonitis due to multiple occurrences of inflammation (irreversible) Stage 3: bone spurs, partial/complete tears of RTC and/or LH of biceps
40
Shoulder Bursitis
In subarcomial space Differentiated from tendonitis during palpation as pain continues even with arm at rest Pain noted during PROM
41
Shoulder Tendonitis
Pain with humeral movement >90* Causes: repetitive overhead use, weakness of shoulder complex, capsule tightness
42
Types of RTC Tears
Partial Full thickness Small (1 cm) Medium (1-3 cm) Large (3-5 cm) Massive (>5 cm)
43
Medical Treatment for RTC Injuries
Rest NSAIDs Cortisone injections Surgery (arthroscopic repair, mini open, open RTC repair)
44
Hawkins-Kennedy Test
Flex shoulder and elbow to 90* Force arm into IR + if pain (indicates involvement of supraspinatus and/or LH of biceps)
45
Neer Impingement Sign
Stabilize scapula Force client's are in shoulder flexion (end range) and IR + if pain (involvement of supraspinatus and/or LH of biceps)
46
Jobe/Empty Can Test
Elevate shoulder and IR Apply resistance in elevation + pain/weakness (involvement/tear of supraspinatus) *Trouble reaching to shoulder height*
47
Biceps Speed Test
Flex shoulder to 90* with palm up Apply resistance to flexion + pain/weakness (involvement of biceps)
48
Painful Arc
60-120*
49
Adhesive Capsulitis
Frozen shoulder Cause unknown (may be linked to genetics, endocrine, immunological, inflammatory) Can be linked to shoulder trauma as secondary condition May take 2-3 years to resolve
50
Freezing Stage Adhesive Capsulitis
Major symptom is pain, usually at end range or with resistance Pain free A/PROM - focus on maintaining/increasing ROM Preserve important functional movements
51
Frozen Stage Adhesive Capsulitis
Loss of shoulder movement following capsular pattern with pain at end range Continue A/PROM Joint mobilization Gentle stretching in pain free range Modalities (hot packs, ice)
52
Thawing Stage Adhesive Capsulitis
Gradual return of ROM and function Can be more aggressive with exercises Focus to restore all functional movement without compensation
53

59
Chronic/Restorative Phase Lateral Epicondylitis
Activity modifications Counterforce bracing PAMs Transverse friction massage Stretching (wrist flexion, pronation, elbow extension) Hand/wrist/elbow strengthening-->shoulder, scapular

Finklestein's Test
Ask client to hold thumb in palm and ulnarly deviate wrist +sharp pain over radial styloid +DeQuervain's

66
Trigger Finger
Constriction of the distal flexor tendons d/t stenosis of tendon sheath or formation of nodule at flexor tendon *Most common: A1 pulley** A3 pulley/proximal portion of the A2 pulley Strong association with DM and RA
67
Symptoms of Trigger Finger
Pain over A1 pulley Gripping is painful Decreased ROM of finger flexion/extension Catching/locking in flexion, esp in AM Snapping of locked fingers into extension Inflammation
68
Nerve Compression Symptoms
Sensory impairment Motor loss Pain Impaired occupational performance
69
Causes of Nerve Compression
Narrowing of tunnel space due to swelling, inflammation, hypertrophy, anatomical abnormalities Cumulative trauma d/t repetitive movements, sustained postures, direct pressure, and/or vibration
70
Carpal Tunnel Anatomy
Floor - carpal bones Roof - flexor retinaculum (transverse carpal ligament) Structures within: tendons of FDS, FDP, FCR, FPL, median nerve (most superficial)
