Question | Answer |
---|---|
Diagnosing somatic dysfunction of the shoulder | How and where is the pain generated: making an anatomic correlation with history **Localy: is it articular, muscle, or neural |
Articular Dysfunction related to the shoulder | Glenohumeral joint, Acromioclavicular joint, Sternoclavicular joint, First Rib, Scapulothoracic |
Layered palpation of shoulder muscles | Important in diagnosing shoulder pain because you must distinguish between trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboids, supraspinatus |
Neural compression with shoulder pain | Referred cervical neuropathy, brachial plexus compression, long thoracic nerve compression |
Active shoulder ABD ROM testing | Abduction: should be 180 degrees and symmetrical **more than 5 degrees difference indications a problem |
Scapulohumeral rhythm | 1:2 ratio For every 15 degrees abduction 10 is glenohumeral 5 is scapular |
Glide | translatory motion of bone relative ot its opposed joint surface |
Glide of glenohumeral joint | Inferior glide at glenohumeral joint with abduction. Anterior glide with extension |
Glide of sternoclavicular joint | superior/inferior, anterior/posterior **Most common SD are due to Superior glide or anterior glide |
Clavicular rotation during abduction | It rotates 30 degrees about SC joint to prevent the supraspinatus from getting mashed during abduction |
Diagnosing Biceps tendonitis | tenderness only in the bicipital groove |
Diagnosing Subacromial Bursitis | tenderness below the AC along with edema. changes with position |
Diagnosing Rotator cuff strain | tenderness at origins and insertions of muscles |
Diagnosing Impingement syndrome | Pain on abduction, external rotation. Supraspinatus tendon is being impinged by acromion. could cause calcification and rupturing of tendon |
Diagnosing Adhesive Capsulitis | Limited range of motion along with history of too much rest post injury |
Don't Chase the pain | Don't just jump to a diagnoses based on pain, correlate it with history and do a thorough check to see if its coming from somewhere else. |
