Shoulder Flashcards
(107 cards)
T/F: With non-traumatic shoulder instabiltiy an apprehension test will be negative.
True
Q: What is an assistive device plan for SLAP lesions?
Sling when acute
Defn: Primary Impingement (2)
- Structures that occupy the subacromial space
- Causes the impingement
Content: Stage 3 of impingement syndrome (2)
- Marked by more chronic changes (partial/complete tear) of rotator cuff
- Pts. > 40 yo
Q: What is an education plan for frozen shoulder?
Explain the nature of the disease and prepare pt. for extended recovery
Q: What is an assistvie device plan for shoulder instability?
Sling when acute
Content: Deep muscles/rotator cuff (4)
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Teres minor
- Subscapularis
Q: What movements occur at the ST joint?
- IR/ER
- Upward/lateral rotation/Downard/medial rotation
- Posterior tilting/Anterior tilting
Q: For what degrees of motion does elevation through abduction occur?
170-180
Term: A mechanical impingement of the subacromial structure, esp. the rotator cuff tendons, beneath the atnerior-inferior poriotn of the acromion
Impingement syndrome
Content: Intrinsic classification of impingement syndrome (4)
- Primary or secondary
- Rotator cuff weakness
- Overuse of the shoulder
- Degerenative tendinopathy
Defn: Intrinsic Impingement
Intratendinous
Content: Stages of Adhesive Capsulitis - Pain (4)
1: w/AROM & PROM
2: Chronic pain w/AROM & PROM
3: Min pain except at end ROM
4: Min pain
Content: Stages of Adhesive Capsulitis - Pathologic changes (3)
1: Hypertrophic, hypervascular synovitis, rare inflammatory cell infiltrates, normal underlying capsule
2: Hypertrophic, hypervascular synovitis with perivascular and subsynovial scar, fibroplasias and scar formation in the underlying capsule
3: “Burned-out” synovitis without significant hypertrophy or hypervascularity. Underlying capsule shows dense scar formation
Defn: Subacromial space
Coracoacromial arch: coracoacromial ligament or coracoid process and greater tuberosity of the humerus
Term: Biceps anchor peels off from the supraglenoid tubercle with the associated detachment of the labrum extending for a variable distance anteriorly and/or posteriorly
SLAP type 2
Q: What is an education plan for SLAP lesions?
Avoid MOI and overhead activites
Q: What is a therapeutic exercise plan for SLAP lesions? (2)
- Scapular stabilization exercises
- Posterior capsular stretching
Diagram: Identify the 4 joints

Left to Right, Top to Bottom
- Sternoclavicular
- Acromioclavicular
- Scapulothoracic
- Glenohumeral
Diagram: Ligaments

Top to bottom
- Conoid
- Trapezoid (with conoid = coracoclavicular
- Acromioclavicular
- Coraco-acromial
- Coraco-humeral
- Transverse humeral

- Middle GHL
- Inferior GHL
Q: What is a HEP plan for shoulder instability?
Follow the presribed TherEx
Q: What is a modalities plan for shoulder instability? (3)
- Ice,
- Electrical currents
- Diathermy (SWD)
Q: What effects does diathermy have?
Effects similar to subacromial corticosteroid injecitons
Q: For what degrees of motion does IR occur?
60-100
