Movement Diagnosis UE

Question 1

Scapular downward rotation syndrome

Answer 1

Insufficient upward rotation

static position may be downwardly rotated, adducted abducted or normal

Question 2

Scapular depression syndrome

Answer 2

Insufficient elevation is primary impairment

Scapular depression occurs at arm elevation

Question 3

Scapular Abduction Syndrome

Answer 3

excessive scapular abduction

increased scap abduction occurs in arm elevation

Question 4

Scapular winging syndrome

Answer 4

Winging during flexion and extension

Due to weakness of serratus anterior

Question 5

Scapular Anterior tilting / internal rotation syndrome

Answer 5

insufficient posterior tilting

Question 6

Scapular elevation syndrome

Answer 6

excessive scap elevation

dominating upper trap or levator scapulae

Question 7

Humeral Anterior Glide syndrome

Answer 7

excessive anterior, insufficient posterior glide in shoulder motions
Domination of pecs, lats and trees major over subscap.

Question 8

Humeral Superior Glide / elevation syndrome

Answer 8

excessive superior, insufficient inferior glide of humeral head
insufficiency of rotator cuff because of weakness
look at recruitment patterns or tears

Question 9

Humeral Medial rotation syndrome

Answer 9

Excessive medial rotation

internal rotators dominate external rotators

Question 10

Humeral depression syndrome

Answer 10

Excessive depression of the humeral head

depresses compared to ideal acromial location

Question 11

Humeral Hypomobility Syndrome

Answer 11

loss of motion in shoulder, typically in capsular pattern

Associated with Adhesive capsulitis

Question 12

Tissue impairment

Answer 12

tissue is usually stressed by trauma or surgical procedure
cannot tolerate typical movement examination
Not related to chronic pain condition

Question 13

Nerve entrapment syndrome

Answer 13

nerve entrapment due to contraction or stretch of muscles
C/o pain loss of strength, loss of sensation
Radial tunnel, PINS, pronator syndrome, anterior interosseus nerve syndrome

Question 14

Wrist extension with forearm pronation syndrome

Answer 14

overuse of wrist extensors and pronators

lateral elbow pain provoked in lifting and gripping

Question 15

Wrist flexion and forearm pronation syndrome

Answer 15

medial elbow pain provoked in repetitive activities of flexors and pronators

Question 16

Elbow hypomobility syndrome

Answer 16

significant limitation of accessory and physiological motion of elbow
Flexion > extension
Also loss of supination and pronation

Question 17

Elbow flexion syndrome

Answer 17

habitual repetitive or prolonged elbow flexion
Excessive stress on ulnar nerve in medial elbow
May be associated with:
forearm pronation, wrist flexion or extension, shoulder ABD

Question 18

Elbow Valgus syndrome

with or without extension

Answer 18

excessive valgus at the elbow
laxity or sprain of UCL
associated with ulnar nerve injury
may progress to pain in elbow extension

Question 19

Elbow extension syndrome

Answer 19

posterior elbow pain provoked at end range of elbow extension
May be present with excessive below extension or limited elbow extension
