25
Chrnoic pain without trauma
Adhesive capsulitis
26
Weakness or instability is highly suggestive of
Un-rehabilitated capsular ligament injury and can lead to concomitant damage to the labrum
27
Nerve damage will show
Evident atrophy of the associated muscle.
28
Brachial plexus controsl
Upper extremity and subluxation or nerve root damage will result in weakness
29
With weakness might also be possibility of
Inherent shoulder capsule weakness which is usually bilateral and can be determined with orthopedic testing
30
Stiffness and restriction must be assessed initially with
Thorough history
31
Acute pain without any recent trauma that lasts for weeks before eventually becoming stiff is likely to be
Adhesive capsulitis
32
Post-traumatic pain will lead to other obvious conclusions such as
Dislocation or separation
33
History of trauma and/or surgery with resultant pain/restriction leads to
OA
34
Restriction due to pain and weakenss is likely caused by
Bone blockage or labrum pathology
35
Overuse or trauma to a muscle can lead to
Scar tissue and restriction in the direction of stretch
36
Painful arc is considered to be
Between 70-110 degrees
37
X-ray is generally filmed based on
Suspected underlying condition
38
Most common x-ray for shoulder

CT and CT arhtrogram
44
Used to determine full-thickness rotator cuff tears
US
45
If AS rheumatoid or other arthitides are suspected based on plain film

46
If x-ray reveals infeciton, fracture or tumor
Referral to orthopedic specialist
47
If patient is unable to tolerate an un-medicated course of care and treatment, then
Referral out is necessary
48
PT is beneficial in causes of
Acute pain
49
Therapeutic rehab might consist of
PNF stretching, cross friction massage, myofscial release, isometrics, stabilization (strapping/taping) and strenghtening
50
Stability and technique must be strong considerations to adjustments to
Shoulder and upper extremity kinetic chair
51
The shoulder joint type
Ball and socket joint
52
Shoulder joint complex
Articulation of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of the scapula
53
4 joints in shoulder joint complex
Gleno-humeral Acromio-clavicular Sterno-clavicular Scapulo-thoracic
54
Nerve supply shoulder joint complex
Fifth through seventh cervical nerve roots via its formation into the brachial plexus. On the lateral aspect of the shoulder, the skin is innervated by a cutaneous branch of the axillary nerve
55
ROM shoulder
Ext rotation 108 Int rotation 72 With the arm at 90 of abduction, total rotational arc is 120
56
Primary muscles in shoulder joint complex
``` Trapezius Levator scapulae Rhomboid major and minor Serratus anterior Deltoid provides shearing force, pushing humerus upward on the glenoid labrum at abduction ```
57
Rotator cuff muscles

61
Impingement syndrome co-exists with
Instability and excessive superior movement of the humeral head
62
Impingement evaluation
***Hawkins-Kennedy and Neer test for impingmeent assessment ***Relocation test for underlying accompanying instability Impingement sign to rule in tendinitis or supra-spinatus overuse injuries
63
Hawkins-Kennedy test
Supraspinatus tendon jammed up against the anterior surface of the coraco-acromial ligament due to the narrowing of the subacromial space. Posterior pain implicates stretch of the teres minor and infraspinatus tendons Indicates: local pain indicates supraspinatus tendinitis and impingement Anterior pain = anterior impingement syndrome Posterior pain = posterior impingement syndrome
64
Neer test
End range pain causes the greater tuberosity to jam up against the anterior inferior border of the acromion Indicates impingement with overuse injury of the supraspinatus muscle or biceps tendon
65
Instability tests
Anterior apprehension with relocation
66
Jobe relocation test confirms the
Anterior instability of the GH joint
67
Painful arc test
Pain between 70-110 degrees is impingement syndrome with supraspinatus pathology Pain worse with 160 or above is AC joint involvement
68
Shoulder impingement management protocols/goals
Care plan based on severity of symptoms - acute vs sub-acute vs chronic Stability, progressive rehabilitation, stretching and strenghtening and modification of activity Open chain v closed chain exercise, proprioceptive training Chiro spinal adjustments Chiro extremity adjustments Modalitis - cryotherapy 2 week out assessment Re-exam and re-eval Prognosis/outcomes assessment
69
Traumatic instability Presentation/signs/symptoms
***past history of shoulder dislocation *** pain/weakness when arm placed overhead or in apprehension position of 90 degrees flexion coupled with external rotation and horizontal extension
70
Traumatic instability Anatomy/structures involved
Gleno-humeral joint dislocation causes damage to the glenoid labrum and the humerus itself. The glenoid capsule will also incur damage along with teh intrinsic ligaments (coracohumeral and coracoacromial)
71
Traumatic instability Pathophysiology/etiology
Acute/subacute anterior dislocation of the GH joint in 90-95% of cases. Posterior instability can be found in patient who chronically dislocate or those who suffer seizures Clavicular fractures, muscle contusions and direct blows to the base of the neck can also be included as trauma
72
Traumatic instability evaluation
Apprehension test and it’s variants ** sulcus sign with L &S test
73
SUlcus sign with L & S test
A sulcus that appears on teh antero-lateral aspect indicates shoulder instability that is graded ``` +1 = 1 cm +2 = 1-2 cm +3 = >3 cm ```
74
Labrum tears Presentation
Presents with reported painful clunking and locking with specific movments. Loss of strength, decreased ROM and pain at night. Sense of instability in the shoulder
75
Labrum tears Anatomy and structures involved
Soft fibrous rim surrounding the head of the humerus where it articulates with the glenoid fossa. Stabilizes the joint and deepens the rim to add extra support. Important attachment site for several ligaments.
76
Labrum tears Cause/etiology
***SLAP lesion Acute trauma, blow or fall on outstretched arm. Sudden pulls such as lifting heavy object. Repetitisve motions such as weight lifting or throwing ***tears of the rim below the middle of the glenoid socket involving the inferior GH ligament are called Bankart lesions ***tears of the labrum often accompanying dislocation
77
SLAP lesions
Superior labrum anterior to posterior tear above the middle of the socket that involves the biceps tendon in some cases
78
Bankart lesions
Tears of the rim below the middle of the glenoid socket involving the inferior GH ligament
79
Tears of the labrum often accompany
Dislcoation
80
Labrum tears Evaluation
Clunk test, O’Brien sign, anterior slide test and biceps load test to rule in a labrum tear Rule out dislocation using apprehension, dugas tests Speed, abbotts saunder and yergason tests to confirm any bicep tendon tears that might accompany a labrum tear. Can do apley adn codman if tolerable to R/O rotator cuff teras Assess both spinal and extremities
81
Medical assessment for labrum tears includes
MRI CT Arhtroscopic surgery
82
Glenoid LAbrum testing
***O’Brien sign | O’Brien, anterior slide test for pain or determine snapping or clunking felt in the joint
83
O’Brien Sign
Pain deep in the joint indicates labrum tear. Pain felt superficially indicates AC joint issue
84
Anterior slide test
Popping, cracking, and crepitus is noticed with pain on the antero-superior aspect of the shoulder = superior or anterior glenoid labrum tear
85
Labrum tears management
Referral to an orthopaedic surgeon for assessment - most severe tears will require surgery for repair especially if the biceps tendon is involved. Small tears will respond to conservative treatment including rest (sling), rehab, strengthening and mobilization after acute pain subsides. Chiro adjustments to restore functional proprioception and alignment
86
Traumatic instability management protocols/goals
``` Initial/intermediate/advanced Stabilize/rehabilitation/strengthen Chiro adjustments Chiro extremity adjustments Open v closed chain exercises Cryotherapy 2 week out assessment Re-exam/re-eval Prognosis/outcome assessments Lifestyle modifications ```
87
Non-traumatic instability/looseness Signs/symptoms and presentations
***usually asymptomatic. Pain is felt when there is sudden traction or pulling on the arm. Supporting the arm provides relief. ***Patient reports fatigue and discomfort when working overhead rather than actual pain
88
Non-traumatic instability/looseness Anatomy and structures involved
Inherent looseness in the shoulder capsule - born that way
89
Non-traumatic instability/looseness Etiology
Patients asymptomatic unless distraction force subluxates the shoulder. Aggravated by sports/activity that continuously stretches the capsule. Ex: swimming or throwing
90
Non-traumatic instability/looseness Evaluation/assessment
L&S tests*** most appropriate and practical * **apprehension test if accompanied by impingement * **pain is reduced by the relocation test (jobe test) where an AP force is placed on the proximal humerus as the arm is abducted and ext. rotated
91
Non-traumatic instability/looseness management
Strengthening rotator cuff and serratus anterior for stability. Taping can help
92
Adhesive capsulitis
Frozen shoulder
93
Adhesive capsulitis Signs/symptoms and presentations
Usually over 40 years of age
94
Adhesive capsulitis Acute phase
Moderate to severe pain that limits all shoulder use, pain when sleeping or with minimum activity
95
Adhesive capsulitis Middle phase
Possible past history of acute phase 1-3 months prior, pain has decreased but discomfort and restricted motion persists when liftin garm or turning out
96
Adhesive capsultiits Final phase
Very slow increase in ROM but still significantly reduced
97
Adhesive capsulitis Anatomy and structures involved
Inflammation and swelling of the shoulder capsule Adhesions develop which stiffen the jhoint Synovial fluid decreases and joint lubrication is hampered
98
Adhesive capsulitis Cause/etiology
The cause remains unkown More common in patients with diabetes, thyroid pathologies, and COPD. The acute phase is inflammatory in nature leading to a stiffening stage and finally a thawing phase months or years later. In stage 3, some ROM is restored.
99
Adhesive capsulitis Evaluation/assessment
Positive mazion shoulder maneuver - most pts present in the stiffening phase or stage 2*** ***restriction and pain are reliable indicators especially in abduction and ext. rotation. Muscle tests are strong within the range the patient can tolerate Confirmatory test is improvement in motion following reciprocal contraction or rhythmic stabilization. If the patient does not improve at all, a bony blockage is suspected due to possible OA.
100
Mazion shoulder maneuver
Adhesive capsulitis Inabiilty to actively raise the elbow to the forehead due to pain and of stiffness indicates early adhesive capsulitis or non-inflammatory capsular adhesions
101
Adhesive capsulitis management
Cryotherapy Extremity adjustment to improve ROM (later stages) Modalitis - E-Stim and TENS. US in stiffening stage Rhythmic stabilization
102
TENS
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
103
Rhythmic stabilization
Passive nad active therapy with contraction and ROM while alternating patterns
104
Rotator cuff tears Presentation
Typically following an **acute trauma such as heavy lifting, a fall or high impact injury. Older patients might not recall an event. *pain and or weakness is experienced while *lifting the arm or performing overhead activities
105
Rotator cuff tears Anatomy/structures involved
Most commonly associated with tears of the supraspinatus articular and bursal sided tears are generally involved, while the articular type are more frequently partial
106
Rotator cuff tears Cause/etiology
Trauma, can occur secondary to chronic degenerative changes in the tendinous attachments
107
Rotator cuff tears Evaluation/assessment
Supraspinatus: weakness with empty can test or codman’s drop arm (unabl eto perform) and a positive apley test Subscapularis: lift-off test weakness. Radiograph: superior head migration on AP view
108
EMpty can test
Resistance to the abduction and downward pressure stresses the supraspinatus muscle and tendon insertion, indicates tear or rupture of the supraspinatus muscle or tendon with possible suprascapular neuropathy
109
Rotator cuff tears management
Rehab gradually with isometrics then progressing ot strengthening. Rotator-cuff full thickness tears might need surgical repair
110
AC joint separation Presentation
Taruma/fall/high impact injury on an outstretched arm or on top of the shoulder type onset. Very common in atheltes such as football or rugby players. Pain, tenderness and swelling over the AC joint.
111
AC joint separation Anatomy/structures involved Grade 1
Some tearing of the acromio-clavicular ligament without instability.
112
AC joitn separation Anatomy Grade 2
Rupture of AC ligmaent
113
AC joint separtion Anatomy Grade 3
Torn AC ligament with a tear of the coraco-clavicular (conoid and trapezoid) ligament. Both grade 2 and 3 are considered unstable
114
AC joint separation Anatomy Grade 4
The clavicle is pushed posterior to the AC joint, fairly unusual in presentation
115
AC joint separation Grade 5
This is an exaggerated grade 3 with the muscles above the AC joint punctured by the clavicle causing a significant bump over the injury site
116
Grade 6 AC joint separation
Fairly rare, this type of injury sees the clavicle pushed or forced interior where is becomes lodged below the corocoid
117
AC joint separation Etiology/cause
Trauma/fall/high impact sports injury that tears partially or completely the AC or coraco-clavicular ligaments
118
AC joint separation Evaluation/assessment
** positive o’brien sign X-ray to rule out distal clavicular fracture and determine severity of injury. More than 1.3cm** widening of hte coraco-clavicular space would indicate a grade 3 separation Weighted and non-weighted bilateral views would be ordered
119
AC joint separation managment
Support with kinney-howard sling for short period. Mild isometrics followed by isotonics. Emphasis on deltoid and upper trap exercises incorporating biceps and pectoral exercises to restore near proper function. Taping and support would be recommended for future sports activity Chiro adjustments to assist in functional proprioception
120
Osteolysis of distal clavicle Presentation
Can be secondary to AC trauma or heavy weight lifting regimens. Typically a weight lifter will present with diffuse pain felt while bench-pressing. Clean and jerking or dipping. Pain on shoulder abduction beyond 90 degrees.
121
Osteolysis of the distal clavicle Anatomy/structures involved
Distal end of the clavicle
122
Osteolysis of the distal clavicle Cause/etiology
Trauma/repetititive compression forces and heavy lifting that cause resorption of the distal end of the clavicle
123
Osteolysis of distal clavicle Evaluation/assessment
Zanca view*** or AC spot shot looking for increased widening of the joint space and resorption. Most orthopedic tests are unremarkable. History is crucial to help rule out differential diagnosis
124
Osteolysis of the distal clavicle managment
Modification of exercises with some rest recommended Chiro spinal and extremity evaluation
125
Acute calcific bursitis and tendinitis Presentation
***severe shoulder pain increasing with any shoulder movement. Patients have a supportive posture holding the arm to their sides to avoid movement
126
Acute calcific bursitis and tendinitis Anatomy/structures involved
Bursae include: subacromial, sub-deltoid and sub-scapular. All shoulde tendinous attachments of the can be involved.
127
Acute calcific bursitis and tendinitis Cause/etiology
Following trauma or of insidious onset**. Bursitis pain occurs often due to a resorption of calcium deposition. This is typically an inflammatory phase and is very painful. Direct rtrauma or injury assocaited iwth cuff rupture is considered another common cause.
128
Acute calcific burtsitis and tendinistis evaluation/assessment
All active and passive movement is painful. **dawbarn test will determine a sub-acromial bursitis **abbott saunders, speed and yegason tests are all positive for bicipital tendinitis **apley test will determine degenrative tendinitis while the impingement sign will assist in assessing overuse injuries to the bicveps tendon. Deep palpation is often sufficient to elicit a response. **Patte test (hornblower sign) will be positive for infraspinatus or teres minor tendinopathy. Lift off test will be positive for subscapularis tendinopathy. X-rays following trauma
129
Patte test (hornblower sign
Pain and inability to actively externally rotate against resistance due to weakness indicates infraspinatus or teres minor tendinopathy
130
Lift off test
Inability to actively lift the hand off or away from the back indicates subscapularis tenddinopathy
131
Acute calcific bursitis and tendinitis managemnet
Pulsed US to resorb calcific depostis for short term therapy can be considered. Chiro spinal and extremity adjustments to assist with recuperative healing and functional proprioception. In acute and inflammatory stages, referral to a medical practitioner is recommended due to severe pain. Cryotherapy is recommended to reduce swelling and manage pain.
132
Little leaguer’s shoulder Presentation
Young, 12-15 yo male baseball pitchers*** Pain felt when throwing hard and comes on gradually - sometimes up to as long as 7 months before diagnosis
133
Little leaguer’s shoudler Anatomy/structures involved
**prosimal humerus pain and tenderness Triangular metaphyseal avulsion fracture (salter-harris type 2)
134
Little leaguer’s shouder Etiology/cause
Excessive rotational stresses on the growth plate of the proximal humerus from pitchers who **overptich or pitch too frequently. (Salter-harris type 1). Type 2 is less common
135
Little leaguer’s shoulder evaluation
Swelling/loss of ROM ***weakness on ext rotation and positive empty-can test (thumbs down abduction X-ray shows widening of the proximal humeral physis with sclerosis of the proximal humeral metaphysis.
136
Little leaguer’s shoulder management
Rest | Rehabilitation with EASY throwing and pain as the limiting factor
137
4 types of passive end-range or end-feels (provocation) as described by Cyriax

138
Soft type of passive end-range or end-feels
Bicep to forearm
139
Muscular type of passive end-range or end-feels
Hamstring stretch
140
Bone-on-bone or cartilagenous
Elbow extension
141
Capsular
Hip rotation (capsular stretch)
142
Abnormal end-feels include
Spasm Springy or rebound Empty Loose
143
Spasm
Pain prevents full ROM
144
Springy or rebound
Mechanical blockage such as labrum or meniscus
145
Empty
Acute pain such as bursitis preventing movement to end-range
146
Loose
Capsular or ligamentous damage seen with grades of sprain
147
Timing of onset
acute, subacute and chronic (passive provocation)
148
Acute time of onset
Pain felt before end range. Therapy required
149
Subacute timing of onset
Pain at the same time as end-range. Stretch and mobilize
150
Chronic timing of onset
Pain felt after end-range. Stretch and adjust/manipulate
151
When a joint is not free to move, the muscles that move it
Are not free to move
152
Muscles cannot be restored to normal if the joint which they move
Is not free to move
153
Normal muscle function is dependent on
Normal joint movement
154
Impaired muscle function perpetuates and may cause
Deterioration in abnormal joints
155
Isometric
No lengthening or shortening of muscle at all. For example, shoulder flexion as when you hold an object out in front of you
156
Isotonic
Also called concentric by some sources. Here the muscle shortens - origin to insertion. The best example is biceps curl. Other examples include anterior deltoid shortening when lifting an object overhead.
157
Isokinetic
The muscle shortens and gains tension through a motion at a constant speed such as a swimming stroke
158
Eccentric
Here the muscle lengthens as when you place an object down or walk downshill - the quads flex and lengthen during heel strike
159
Passive stretch
This is also lengthening however done in a passive state such as lying on your back and having a hamstring stretch performed on you
160
Agonist muscles
Called prime movers, they cause movement to occur. They create a normal ROM in a joint by contracting.
161
Antagonist
Acts in opposition to the agonist and returns the limb to it’s initial position - it can be an extensor or a flexor
162
Examples of agonists and antagonists are
Biceps flexion - tricep extension Pec major/trap - rhomboid Deltoid flexion - latissimus dorsi
163
PNF techniques
``` Rhythmic initiation Hold relax Contract relax Rhythmic stabilization Repeated contractions Slow reversals ```
164
The one exception to active motion in PNF
Rhythmic initiation
165
Progression used for those who are very weak or unable to initiate a motion
Rhythmic initiation
166
Rhythmic motion through a desired ROM beginning with passive motion
Rhythmic initiation
167
Rhythmic initiation
Goals Indications Contraindications Description of technique
168
Description of technique - rhythmic initiation
Therapist moves the patient passively through a desired ROM, using speed and verbal commands to cue movement Patient is asked to move actively with therapist through ROM Therapist then begins to apply resistance
169
Hold relax
``` Goals Indications Contraindications Description of technique Example ```
170
Description of technique
Patient actively contracts agonist in available ROM Therapist provides resistance to an isometric contraction of the antagonist Patient again actively contracts agonist to new available ROM
171
Example hold relax
Hamstring ROM (increase hip flexion) Patient flexes hip using hip flexors, therapist resists a hamstring contraction, then redo
172
Contract relax
Goals Indications Contraindications Description of technique
173
Description of technique contract relax
Active contraction of agonists to end of available ROM followed by concentric contraction of antagonists, then another active contraction of agonists to new available ROM
174
Rhythmic stabilization
Alternating isometric contraction against resistance, no motion intended Therapist slowly increases resistance of agonist which patient resists until maximum, then slowly decrease add resistance in opposite direction
175
Repeated contractions description of technique
Therapist provides resistance of agonists during concentric contraction No resistance is given to antagonists
176
Slow reversals
Therapist resists motion of agonist and antagonist through ROM in pattern
177
