24
Q

Obrien procedure & involved structure

Study These Flashcards
A

AC injury or SLAP.
Empty Can but in slight horiz add instead of scap plane.
Repeat resistance w/ palm up.

25
Biceps Load procedure & involved structure
SLAP. Supine, sh abd 120, elbow flex, forearm supinated. PROM to max ER. Resisted elbow flex.
26
Resisted AC Extension procedure
Shoulder & elbow flex, forearm parallel to floor. Resist horiz abd.
27
Shear procedure & involved structure
AC. Cup hands around delt, squeeze.
28
Apprehension Relocation procedure & involved structure
Anterior GH instability. Supine, sh abd to 90, PROM ER. Posterior glide on HH to relocate (relieves pain).
29
Speed procedure & involved structure
Biceps tendinitis or SLAP. Forearm supinated, elbow ext with arm down at side. Resisted sh flex (light resistance, not a break test).
30
Yergason procedure & involved structure
Biceps tendonitis, transverse ligament. Resisted "flip the pancake." Start w/ forearm pronated, elbow flex, arm at side. Resist supination, flexion, & ER (light resist, not a break test). Palpate biceps tdn.
31
Yergason: positive for biceps tendinopathy
tender but no popping in biceps tendon
32
Yergason: positive for transverse ligament rupture
tender + palpable popping of biceps tendon in/out of groove
33
Clunk procedure & involved structure
SLAP. Supine, bring sh to overhead abd. Anterior glide on HH while PROM into ER.
34
Compression procedure & involved structure
SLAP or Bankart. Supine, shoulder abd overhead in scapular plane, elbow flex. Axial pressure into elbow while PROM ER/IR.
35
SLAPrehension procedure
SLAP. Shoulder abd 90, thumb down. AROM horiz adduct. Repeat w/ thumb up.
36
Sulcus at 0 procedure & involved structure
Superior GH instability. Excessive inferior motion while applying distraction force (pull down) at elbow.
37
Rockwood procedure & involved structure & (+)
Anterior GH instability. PROM ER at varying degrees of sh abd. (+) Most P! at 90 sh abd.
38
Anterior Load & Shift procedure & involved structure & (+)
Anterior GH instability. Slow oscillating ant/post glides on HH. (+) Translates anteriorly but not posteriorly.
39
Push/Pull procedure & involved structure & (+)
Posterior GH instability. Supine, sh abd 90, elbow flex. Posterior glide on HH while pulling wrist superiorly. (+) >50% of HH translates posteriorly.
40
Jerk procedure & involved structure & (+)
Posterior GH instability. Sh flex 90, elbow flex, IR (forearm parallel to floor). Apply compressive force (one hand on scapula, one hand on elbow, push together). Horizontal adduct. Return to start position. (+) jerk motion while moving into add, jerks again (relocates) when moving back to start.
41
What pathologies/limitations is a posterior GH glide good for?
ER limitation
42
What pathologies/limitations is a inferior GH glide good for?
Abduction, flexion, & overhead limitations
43
What pathologies/limitations is a lateral GH glide good for?
Horizontal adduction limitation AC joint injury
