compression of structures in the neck by the scalene mm.; OT interventions: postural education, workstation or task modification, and exercises or activities to counter-act the postural compromise and contribute to occupational performance | thoracic outlet syndrome |
humeral head partially dislocates inferiorly; can be caused by hemiparesis; result of instability, weakness, or paralysis; pull of gravity through humerus; painful strain of joint capsule | glenohumeral subluxation |
eventually the strain on the joint capsule may elongate ligamentous fibers of the capsule and allow humeral head to partially dislocate, can cause pain receptors to activate and cause considerable pain, orthotics or wheelchair trays may help | subluxation |
weakness of these mm. causes impingement because the humeral head migrates superiorly in fossa and compresses tissues against inferior acromion and AC ligament | rotator cuff mm. |
usually due to forceful loading of shoulder while elevated, risk increases with age as flexibility and m. mass decreases, may develop slowly due to friction over time or a single traumatic instance | rotator cuff tear |
most commonly dislocated joint, leads to instability, involves damage to labrum, common in sports, can require surgery, involves long head of biceps, rehab goal is functional stability, capsule and mm. are elongated, risk increased with previous one | glenohumeral joint dislocation |
can significantly limit function, possible in any synovial joint with repetitive use, shoulder replacement may be an option to restore function and mobility, requires activity modification or adaptive equipment (ex. reacher to compensate painful motion) | osteoarthritis |
