Q

patient is being examined by a physical therapist for shoulder pain. The individual reports that the pain is located in an area around the acromion and has been gradually increasing over the last 3 months.

The patient has limited passive motion in external rotation, internal rotation, and flexion, and complains of severe pain with all three motions. Which of the following disorders is MOST likely present?

  1. Subacromial bursitis
  2. Acromioclavicular joint lesion
  3. Scapulothoracic hypomobility
  4. Adhesive capsulitis
A

4

  1. This would have pain with extreme flexion and internal rotation, but would not limit passive range of motion.
  2. This would more commonly have pain with cross-body movements and is not the MOST
    likely disorder.
  3. This would not necessarily limit passive motion of the glenohumeral joint.
  4. This is the correct answer. The scenario describes a capsular pattern that generally progresses over the course of several months. The lack of passive motion is also a key factor.
46
Q

A 65 year old patient reports developing shoulder pain over the last 3 months that is exacerbated by overhead activities. The patient displays poor posture and has rotator cuff musculature that is 25% weaker on the involved upper extremity. Which of the following is MOST likely the source of the pain?

  1. Primary impingement
  2. Secondary impingement
  3. Biceps tendinopathy
  4. Anterior capsule instability
A

2

  1. This would be likely due to the patient’s age (bone spurs forming under the acromion process). However, the information given indicates otherwise.
  2. This is the most correct answer. Worsening with overhead activity and rotator cuff weakness are both important signs of secondary impingement.
  3. Biceps tendinopathy is indicated by pain with active elbow and shoulder flexion.
  4. This could be present. but is not the MOST correct answer.
47
Q

A physical therapist is mobilizing a patient’s glenohumeral joint to improve passive range of motion. The therapist provides a large amplitude oscillation to the limits of available motion.
Which of the following grades of mobilization is being provided?

  1. Grade II
  2. Grade III
  3. Grade IV
  4. Grade V
A

2

  1. Large amplitude oscillations, but not to end of range
  2. This is the correct answer.
  3. Small amplitude oscillations at the end of range.
  4. High velocity, low amplitude thrust past the end of range.
48
Q

A patient is asked to flex their shoulder to go degrees with the forearm in full supination. The examiner places resistance downward against the flexed arm. Which structure BEST represents what the examiner testing?

  1. Acromioclavicular joint pathology
  2. Rotator cuff pathology
  3. Anterior deltoid pathology
  4. Biceps tendon pathology
A

4

  1. This is tested with the crossover test.
  2. This is tested with external rotation lag sign or resisted external/internal rotation/supraspinatus.
  3. This could be involved. but is not the best answer.
  4. This is the correct answer.
49
Q

A patient is having difficulty raising her arm over her head. The physical therapist hypothesizes that the scapulohumeral rhythm is impaired. Which of the following BEST represents the normal combination of movements that will result in full shoulder flexion?

  1. Glenohumeral flexion 80°; scapulothoracic upward rotation 80°.
  2. Glenohumeral flexion 100°; scapulothoracic upward rotation 60°.
  3. Glenohumeral flexion 100°; scapulothoracie upward rotation 80°.
  4. Glenohumeral flexion 120°; scapulothoracic upward rotation 60°.
A
  1. This is the correct answer. There is typically a 2:1 glenohumeral:scapulothoracic ratio of movement that will achieve full shoulder flexion.
50
Q

Your patient presents with biceps tendinosis of his non-operative side.
Which of the following correctly defines tendinosis?

a. Inflammation with thickening of a tendon sheath.
b. Inflammation of a tendon, often associated with scarring or calcium deposits.
c. Degeneration of the tendon due to repetitive micro trauma.
d. Inflammation of the synovial membrane covering a tendon.

A

C

• Inflammation with thickening of a tendon sheath - Tenovaginitis

• Inflammation of a tendon, often associated with scarring or calcium deposits - Tendinitis

• Degeneration of the tendon due to repetitive microtrauma - tendinosis

• Inflammation of the synovial membrane covering a tendon - Tenosynovitis

51
Q

The patient is referred to a surgeon for a bankart repair. Which of the following positions do not need to be limited postoperatively?

a. External rotation
b. Horizontal abduction
C. Extension
d. Internal rotation

A

D

52
Q
  1. Which of the following statements is true regarding bicipital tendinosis?

a. The lesion involves the short head of the biceps.

b. Pain may occur with resisted testing, with the elbow extended and the forearm in a pronated position while the shoulder is flexing.

c. Rupture or dislocation of this humeral depressor muscle may escalate impingement of tissues in the suprahumeral space.

d. Pain occurs with palpation of the tendon just inferior to the posterior corner of the acromion when the patient horizontally adducts and laterally rotates the humerus.

A

C
