what are corticosteroid injections?
local administration of steroid into joint
greater pain relief than oral
can weaken bone or tendon
254
who benefits form corticosteroid injections?
pts with slow progress due to pain
PT + injection is better than either treatment alone
255
what are implications for PT treatment with corticosteroid injections?
avoid activity for 48 hrs then gradually return to activity
numbing agents may damped pain signals which results in overdoing

based on tissue irritability
progress as quickly as pt tolerated
full return to function between 6 weeks to 3 months
266

fix biomechanical issues

279
what are implications for PT treatment with capsular shift/plication and thermal capsulorrhaphy?

fracture
dislocation
brachial plexus injury
282

286
what are implications for PT treatment with anatomical total shoulder arthroplasty?
immobilization for 2-8 weeks
protect the subscapularis
287

288
who benefits from a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty?
pt with OA without intact RC, fractures, tumors
289
what are implications for PT treatment with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty?
abduction sling initially, followed by regular sling for 4 weeks
now rely on delt when moving shoulder
dont have to protect RC
290
anatomic vs reverse total shoulder: which has less restrictions?
reverse
291
anatomic vs reverse total shoulder: biggest difference in rehab?
reverse has resistance earlier
