Thoracic Spine Mobilization: Foam Roller Stretch
Use a 6 inch foam roller for this exercise Lay on it crossways, placing it on a stiff spot on your spine Place your hands behind your head for support Perform the following option if directed by your therapist □ Perform a small sit up over the foam roll □ Lean side to side while maintaining pressure on the foam roll
26
McKenzie Derangement Syndrome
Reducible Derangement -One direction of repeated movement centralizes symptoms (preferred direction/ directional preference) -Opposite direction of repeated movement peripheralizes symptoms
27
ANTERIOR IMPINGMENT SYNDROME RISK FACTORS
History of overhead movements Progressive -Stage 1 <25 y/o overhead movements -Stage II 25-45 y/o overhead movements, decreased inferior glide humerus -Stage III >40 y/o Overhead movements, arthritis of acromion, loss of biomechanics
28
ANTERIOR IMPINGMENT SYNDROME CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
- Pain with overhead movements from acromion to lateral shoulder into deltoid region -Difficulty reaching up back -Stage I: intermittent, mild pain with overhead movements Stage II: Intermittent mild to moderate pain with overhead movements Stage III: Pain with rest and activities, night pain, weakness
29
ANTERIOR IMPINGMENT SYNDROME SPECIAL TESTS
-Hawkins and Kennedy -Painful arc sign -Infraspinatus test -Neer test
30
RCT (SUPRASPINATUS TEAR) RISK FACTORS
Age >40 y History of overhead sports or occupations
31
RCT (SUPRASPINATUS TEAR) CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
-Deep ache in shoulder and along deltoid region -Night pain -Pain reaching up back -, weakness in ABD and ER, Loss of AROM
32
RCT (SUPRASPINATUS TEAR) SPECIAL TESTS
-Drop arm -Painful arc -Infraspinatus muscle test -Dropsign -Empty and full can -Scapular retraction test -ER lag sign -Subacromial grind test
33
GH INSTABILITY RISK FACTORS
-Congenital laxity of capsule -Progressive laxity of capsule with overhead athletes
34
GH INSTABILITY CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
-Popping and/or feeling of instability with movements of shoulder into elevation -Can usually self reduce
35
GH INSTABILITY SPECIAL TESTS
-Sulcus sign -Load and shift -Apprehension/ relocation/release
36
GH DISLOCATION RISK FACTORS
Traumatic dislocation, Can be associated with Bankart lesion (see labral tear) and Hills Sachs lesions (compression impaction fracture)
37
GH DISLOCATION CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Apprehension with shoulder ABD and ER
38
GH DISLOCATION SPECIAL TESTS
-Sulcus sign -Load and shift -Apprehension/ relocation/release
39
LABRAL TEAR RISK FACTORS
-trauma FOOSH -degeneration with age-overhead activities or heavy lifting
40

41
LABRAL TEAR SPECIAL TESTS
- Anterior slide test -Crank test -Compression Rotation test -Active Compression test -Bicep load test -Kim test
42
ADHESIVE CAPULITIS (FROZEN SHOULDER) RISK FACTORS
-Gradual onset of loss of ROM in a capsular pattern (ER>ABD>IR) -May be accompanied with a history of shoulder pain however generally idiopathic
43
ADHESIVE CAPULITIS (FROZEN SHOULDER) CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
-Pain with all movement -Pain when sleeping on involved side -Difficulty with ADLs
44
ADHESIVE CAPULITIS (FROZEN SHOULDER) SPECIAL TESTS

45
AC JOINT SPRAIN RISK FACTORS
-Result from a fall on the acromion (direct force) or FOOSH -First-degree, grade I A-C joint sprain: minimal loss of function -Second-degree, grade II A-C sprain: moderate pain, some dysfunction -Third-degree, grade III A-C ligament injury, may have significant dysfunction
46
AC JOINT SPRAIN CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
-Localized pain, swelling over AC joint -Cradling arm decreases pain
47
AC JOINT SPRAIN SPECIAL TESTS
-Horizontal ADD painful -Positive active compression test
48
C1/ C2 Rotation testing
Patient is seated C2 is stabilized and C1 is rotated
49
C2/C3 Lateral flexion testing
Patient seated or supine Passive SB to C2/3
50
Cervical Spine: Foramina Degeneration symptoms
Dermatomal pattern Can just be sensory without motor component Reproduced with closure of foramina
51
Cervical Spine: Disc symptoms
Dermatomal pattern – usually limited to 1 Usually a pattern across neurological tests (sensory, motor and reflexes) Foraminal closure can reproduce symptoms but repetitive opening may increase symptoms
52
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Anatomical structures compressing the brachial plexus Thoracic outlet: brachial plexus, ant and med scalene, clavicle
53
Sternocostovertebral Space impingement
Roots have just left the spine and trunks have not formed. Pancoast tumor
54
Costoclavicular syndrome symptoms
Posterior, lateral and medial cord sensory and motor patterns
55
Pathology in Costoclavicular space
Soldiers with heavy backpacks Test exaggerated military posture with inspiration
56
Posterior cord branches
STAR – subscapular, thoracodorsal, axillary, radial
57
Lateral Cord Branches
LLM "Lucy Loves Me" –lateral Pectoral, lateral root of the median nerve, musculocutaneous
58
Medial Cord Branches
MMMUM "Most Medical Men Use Morphine" –medial pectoral, medial cutaneous nerve of the arm, medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, ulnar, medial root of the median nerve
59
Cords: Lateral, Posterior, Medial
Lateral= C5-C7 (LLM) Medial= C8-T1 (MMMUM) Posterior= C5-T1 (STAR)
60
Causative pathology within pectoralis minor space
Increased tension in pect minor Overuse as accessory respiratory muscle Postural kyphosis Direct trauma to muscle Upper thoracic spinal dysfunction Costal lesions Facilitated segment of CT segment
