41
capsular special tests (or instability tests)
```
All (apprehensive)
Roads (relocation)
Lead (load and shift)
to
Sulcus (sulcus)
```
42
explain the apprehension test
they are supine, really you just ER shoulder and watch for apprehension or px
43
what is relocation test
you do it after the apprehension test
supine, you push the capsule post first, if they report no px or say that feels better...then push the capsule ant and that should cause sx
44
explain load and shift test
pt is seated
| you apply superior load and then push shoulder ant and post
45
sulcus sign grading scale
```
1+ = 0.5-1 cm
2+ = 1-2 cm
3+ = 2-3 cm or more 9
```
46

```
crank
clunk
quadrant
obriens
yergasons
(crazy carl quietly overcame you)
```
47
explain the crank test
they are supine with arm at angle, elbow bent
| apply load and fully ER and IR (no ant shift of humeral head)
48
explain clunk test
supine, elbow at 90 degrees, one hand on post aspect of their capsule, one hand at elbow. Do a slight ant glide (push forward) as you axial load to the body and push the elbow up to face and then full ER.
49
explain quadrant test
Supine again – 90 degrees, start in ER, do ant glide again,
| elbow below head of humerus, axial load and just take forearm to head
50
explain pos findings for obriens
if pain is reported with resistance in the IR position, but lessens or disappears in the ER position. If superficial joint pain occurs, consider AC joint pathology
51
explain obriens test
```
seated
slight adduction of shoulder
full pronation first and resist
then full supination and resist
(if px is only felt pronation = pos)
```
52

abd the arm with pronation
have them hold it and then they slowly lower
can they hold it up
55
explain the lift off test
arrested position
| first AROM then resisted
56
pos lift off could indicate
subscapularis tear; pain in front of shoulder
biceps tendonopathy; difficulty holding against resistance
subscapularis tendonopathy; px during mvmt
57
explain supraspinatus test
full can test
scapular plane
thumb up and resist
58
explain lag sign
pt is seated
you place them in scap plane, then ER their upper arm and ask them to hold there
(pos is supra or infraspinatus)
59
explain cross over test
pt is seated as you essentially do a cross the body stretch
60
pos findings for cross over test
If pain is anterior = Subscapularis, Supraspinatus and long head of Biceps
If pain is superior = implicates the AC joint
If pain is posterior = implicates the Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and/or the posterior capsule.
61

70
which lig is the Primary restraint against anterior and posterior dislocations
Inf GHL
71
list all structures in the suprahumeral space
```
Long head of biceps tendon
Superior joint capsule
Supraspinatus
Upper margins subscapularis and infraspinatus
Subacromial bursa
```
72
open packed position GH joint (AKA RESTING)
55 degrees abduction
30 degrees horizontal adduction
Neutral rotation
73
closed packed GH
ER, ABD
74
what role does AC joint play in elevation
Must rotate approximately 40-50 degrees for full elevation to occur
If not, elevation limited to ~110 degrees
75
ac joint and sc joint open packed position
arm at side
76
the sc joint is really for
stabalization
77
during arm elevation, the scapula should do what motions
60 degrees upward rotation,
15-25 degrees ER,
15-30 degrees posterior tilt
78
SC only has a ____ position
open packed (arm at side) does not have closed pack or capsular pattern
79
biomechanics of 0-90 elevation
Supraspinatus contracts to initiate abduction (depresses and stabilizes head in glenoid fossa)
Remaining rotator cuff muscles contract to pull the humeral head into the glenoid fossa
Around 20-30 degrees, scapular upward rotation begins with concurrent clavicular elevation and axial rotation
At 90 degrees (approx) upper extreme of GH abduction is reached and clavicular elevation ceases due to tension of costoclavicular ligament
At this point scapula has rotated upwardly around 30 degrees
80
biomechanics of end range elevation (90 - 150)
Scapula upwardly rotates about 60 degrees, with scapular contribution peaking between 90-140 degrees
~ 120 degrees of humeral elevation
~ 75 degrees of GH external rotation needed
Upward rotation accommodated at SC and AC by 30-40 degrees of posterior clavicular axial rotation and clavicular elevation of 30-36 degrees
81
biomechanics of 150 -180 elevation
Abduction beyond 150 requires adequate motion of upper thorax and cervical spine, while bilateral abduction requires thoracic extension and increase in lumbar lordosis
82
why is scapular plane ex a good idea
Length-tension relationship of RC muscles is ideal
Movement of the humerus is less limiting because GH capsule is not twisted
Mechanical axis of GH joint is in line with mechanical axis of scapula
83
Usually see more _____ changes in the tissues surrounding the glenohumeral joint

86
explain adhesive capsulitis

134
with tendonitis you HAVE FULL ROM but it's just, with a tear you dont have ____
pxful
| ROM
135
if supraspinatus is injured, how does this effect delt
If supraspinatus is injured, the deltoid kicks in – but the movement of humeral head isn’t as efficient…..so when deltoid is dominant the humerus will glide superiorly instead of the supraspinatus controlling the motion from the top, the deltoid tries to control the motion from the bottom.
136
How will you tell diff btwn primary and secondary impingement –
primary impingement is hypomobile –deg changes
secondary impingement is associated with hypermobility or instability.
