Quiz #7 Flashcards
what is subacromial impingment syndrome?
anatomic variations that lead to decreased subacromial space
what is the etiology of subacromial impingement syndrome?
space issue
anatomic variations
shoulder girdle kinematics
rotator cuff pathology
degenerative changes
overuse
what are the intrinsic factors of impingement?
vascular changes in RC tendons
tissue tension overload
collagen disorientation
collagen degeneration
what are the primary extrinsic factors of impingement?
structural posterior capsule tightness, anterior capsule tightness
RC pathology
increased superior migration of the humeral head
what are the secondary extrinsic factors of impingement?
instability, impaired coordination, weakness of the scapular stabilizers
what are the tertiary extrinsic factors of impingement?
contact of the greater tuberosity with the posterosuperior aspect of the glenoid when the arm is abducted and externally rotated
why would rotator cuff pathology cause impingement?
the RC isn’t depressing the humeral head to clear the acromion
what does the coracoacromial lig do?
spans the coronoid to acromion creating the coracoacromial arch where impingement can occur
what tendons run through the coracoacromial arch and can cause trouble in impingement?
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and long biceps tendon as well as the subacromial bursa
what acromial variation is the most common?
curved
what acromial variation causes the most problems?
hooked
order these anatomical variation of the acromion from least to most problematic: hooked, flat, curved
flat<curved<hooked
what is the MOI for subacromial impingement syndrome?
overhead use
what is the history of subacromial impingement syndrome?
insidious onset
what is the CC of subacromial impingement syndrome?
OH pain
what are other complaints of subacromial impingement syndrome?
painful arc (80-120 deg abd)
what are the ROM limits of subacromial impingement syndrome?
passive abduction, IR, and horizontal adduction
what are the special tests for subacromial impingement?
(+) Hawkins Kennedy
(+) Neer
what are the contributing factors of subacromial impingement syndrome?
RC weakness
hooked acromion
shoulder kinesthesia
capsule tightness
decreased space
how much space does the subacromial space usually have?
4-11 mm
is a tight posterior or anterior capsule more common in subacromial impingement?
tight posterior capsule
t/f: RC weakness/fatigue, capsular restrictions, anatomical variations, mobility impairments all impact tendinitis
true
what tendons are affected by tendinitis most?
supraspinatus and long head of the biceps tendon
t/f: tendinitis/opathy can become calicific or rupture
true
