OMM Flashcards
5 elements of joint PE
inspection/palpation, ROM, strength, stability, special test
4 fxnal joints of shoulder
SC, AC, glenohumeral, scapulothoracic
rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
orthopedic vs osteopathic clinical data
gross ROM, symmetry of motion, quality of motion vs gliding motion
glenohumeral joint motion
ball and socket joint –> rotation, translation/gliding, rolling (combo of rotation and translation)
what does abnl scapular motion look like?
scapular winging, rhomboids weakness, posterior instability, rib/thoracic somatic dysfxn
strength test for shoulder girdle and rotator cuff muscles: Speed’s test vs supraspinatus vs infraspinatus/teres minor vs subscapularis
find bicipital groove –> pt arm straight out and resist your downward force; if pain –> biceps tendinitis vs full/empty can –> arms out in scaption (45 degree) –> pt abducts to resist you vs pt externally rotates to resist you vs pt internally rotates to resist you
what are the 2 static stabilizers?
glenoid (convex, thin socket –> ball/hinge movement) and glenoid labrum (mobile superior portion, immobile inferior portion)
what are the 5 dynamic stabilizers?
rotator cuff muscles + long head of biceps tendon (NOT a RC muscle)
stability tests: load & shift test vs anterior release test/apprehension test vs axillary nerve eval
pt = supine, dr stabilize pt shoulder, “load and shift” humeral head ant and post in glenoid vs pt = supine, dr stabilize pt shoulder, abduct pt while externally rotating vs scratch deltoid (if no sensation –> anterior dislocation)
superior AC ligament vs conoid and trapezoid ligament of AC joint
horizontal stability vs CORACOCLAVICULAR LIGAMENT = most impt ligament for stabilizing AC joint! constrains forward/anterior and backward/posterior rotation of distal clavicle respectively; trapezoid ligament also prevents compression of distal clavicle on acromion
AC joint. What 2 motions does it do?
plane, synovial joint; small cartilage plate/meniscus b/w acromion and clavicle. Abduction (clavicle goes up)/adduction (clavicle goes down), rotation; lateral clavicle = reference point for motion
tests for AC joint: crossed arm adduction test vs chuck norris test
arm and elbow flexed at 90 degrees –> pt grabs opposite shoulder, dr moves shoulder more into forward flexion, if pain at AC –> pos test vs arm and elbow flexed at 90 degrees –> pt abducts to resist you, if pain at AC –> pos test
labrum tests: O’Briens test
shoulder FF 90 degrees w/ 15 degree adduction –> pt externally rotates to resist you w/ thumb down then again palm up, if pain thumb down and no pain thumb up –> pos test –> labral tear
thoracic outlet syndrome
compression of subclavian vessels and brachial plexus, commonly against 1st rib
how to dx thoracic outlet syndrome?
Adson’s test: dec radial pulse w/ arm abducted and externally rotated while pt looks toward affected side; pain at 1st rib; trunk rotation symmetry; arteriogram and EMG
lumbar pain = low back pain
pain occurring posteriorly in region b/w lower rib and prox thigh, accompanied by referred pain
referred pain
pain that’s perceived in wider area than origin site (pelvis, legs, abd, groin)
sciatica
pain radiating down posterior or lateral leg beyond knee
if LBP = recurrent and sxs worsens over time, think of it as…
chronic dz –> early intervention, diag testing
when taking pt’s h/o pain, remember to differentiate…?
differentiate onset/duration, severity, modifying factors of primary location pain and radiating pain (quality of primary pain can be diff from that of radiating pain)
red flags in hx for LBP
h/o malignancy, unexplained wt loss/loss of appetite, recent infxn, trauma, fx risk, cauda spina sxs (urinary retention or fecal incontinence)
red flags in PE for LBP
fever, neuro deficit, peritoneal signs on GI/GU exam
red flags in pmhx for LBP
trauma, surgery, chronic illness, skel anomalies
