IRAT 1 Flashcards
(207 cards)
Shoulder complaints are classified most commonly into
Sports injuries
Wear and tear repetitive stress injuries
Traumas
Certain arthridities
In the case of trauma, what damage must be suspected
Fracture Dislocation Tendon Labrum Ligament
The shoulder can also be the sight of pain from referred
Cervical spine or thoracic spine injury or subluxation and/or from visceral sources such as heart, lung, diaphragm, or gallbladder
Less common sources of shoulder pain might be from
Tumors or infection and peripheral nerve entrapments
The most common presentation of soulder complaints include
Instability - trauma/non-truama
Impingement: tendons, bursae, ligament
Tendinitis/bursitis
Osteoarthritis
Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) - esp age 40-60ish
AC joint separations (look at ligament derangement)
C/spine referred pain patterns
Arthritidies that commonly affect the shoulder are
AS and rheumatoid
In severe cases of arthritidies of the sohoulder, the ___ can rupture
Supraspinatus tendon
In seniors, ___ is common and so is ____.
OA
Adhesive capsulitis
OA can also appear in younger populations following
Truama
Always take a thorough history so as to establish
Quality of the complaint Site Trauma MOI Activities of patient ROM Past injuries Weakness Instability Sensory loss High or low-end user
High end user
Athlete
Low-end user
Sedentery office worker
Pain localization anterior traumatic
Fracture, dislocation, sub-ac bursitis, capsular spriain, tendon rupture (long head of biceps), labrum tear
Non-traumatic pain locatlization
Impingement, biceps tendinitis, sub-ac bursitis, subscapularis tendonitis, subluxation, etc
Trauma
Look for dislocation/separation and fracture.
Typical types or presentaions of trauma are
Blows (contusion)
Falls (AC separation, clavicle fractures)
FOOSA/H injuries (AC separation, dilocation, and labrum tears)
Traction of the arm (brachial plexus injuries, subluxation)
Sudden pain when lifting heavy object (tendon rupture, labrum tear
Blows
Contusions
Falls
AC separation, clavicle fractures
FOOSA/H injuries
AC separation, dislocation, labrum tears, rotator cuff tears
Arm forced into certain positions and jammed or wrenched
Dislocation and labrum tears
Traction on the arm
Brachial plexus injuries, subluxation
Sudden pain when lifting heavy object
Tendon rupture, labrum tear
Pain
Acute or chronic
Acute pain without trauma may indicate
Burisitis if ROM is decreased
