Shoulder 10/26/13 7:49 PM Common Shoulder impairments 1. Pain- find the source (MSTT) Tx: activity modification, massage, modal, grade I & II mobs/Codmans Sources: C-spine (jts C3-C5; nerve roots C4-C5), dermatomes (C4 trap, C5 deltoid/lat arm), diaphragm, heart, gall bladder, myofascial trigger points 2. Posture: muscle imbalances, fwd head & shoulder Adaptive shortening pecs, lats, subscap, upper traps Adaptive weakness delts, mid/low traps, serratus, ERs Tx: Stretch tight, then strengthen weak, pt. education & retraining 3. Mobility: joint capsule, muscle, fascia, nervous system Tx: hypermobilitystabilize dynamic or inc motor control; bracing o Hypomobilityjt manip, stretching, soft tissue, neural mobs 4. Impaired Muscle Performance: neurologic, overuse, disuse, postural imbalance Tx: neuro: identify source o Muscle strain: dec load on contractions of that muscle o Weak muscle: strengthen but avoid substitutions Shoulder Dysfunctions 1. Adhesive Capsulitis: Hypomobility, decreased ROM in capsular pattern; AROM has pain & scapular/upper trap substitutions Etiology: primary (?) and secondaryintrinsic (arthritis, RC tear), extrinsic (trauma, disease), systemic, thoracic kyphosis, altered GH jt. mechanics, hormonal influence, immobilization Inflamed, fibrotic, shrunken jt. capsule with adhesions

o Tx: manual stx w/ inhibition techniques MMT: normal in ROM; as gain ROM, weakness in new range due to adaptive
shorteningo Tx: strengthen with isotonics
Stages (4): pain, pain & stiffness, stiffness w/min pain, recovery Precautions: in acute, low grade oscillations, mechanical manips only after
inflammation resolved, monitor for substitutions in scap during ROM
2. Acromioclavicular Dislocation MOI: direct blow/FOOSH, pain over AC, TTP @AC, pain with all motion, prominent
clavicle 1st Degree/Type I: swelling, bruising, painful, no deformity
o Tx: symptomatic, early ROM in pain free range, avoid: dips, wide grip bench, dead lifts >6 wks (triceps, pecs, lats)
2nd Degree/Type II: AC Lig. tear, partial CC, widening AC jt, some AP instability (most painful)
o Tx: protect, sling 2 wks w/ MEAT, no activities until full ROM & strength 3rd Degree/Type III-VI: complete AC & CC ligs, step deformity, instability, wider
area of TTP, tearing of deltoid attachments (less painful)o Tx: conservative for Type III, sling & swath 2 wksrehab; Type IV-VI
surgical benefit3. AC Osteoarthritis: repetitive motor stresses, grade I & II separations, clavicular fractures
S&S: minor ache with throwing, pain lying on side, crepitus, + horizontal flexion test
Tx: Pt. education, NSAIDS, steroid, surgery SC/AC due to repeated stressful movement overhead, diagonal ext, IR, horizontal
add, overhead lifting, lack of dynamic control of humerus, FOOSH, faulty postureTOS
4. Tendonitis: find the source and address that Younger ptoveruse in overhead activities Older ptdegenerative lesions so poor blood supply to supraspinatus AROM: painful arc
o Tx: modalities, massage to dec inflammation, pt. education PROM classical: full, may have pain at end range or guarding
o Tx: dec pain & inflammation, inc ROM with stretching PROM accessory: capsule not involved, but may be a cause or result
o Tx: inf/post glide for hypomobile; strengthen dynamic stabilizers
5. Bursitis: Subacromial/Subdeltoid bursa most commonly involved btwn deltoid & RTC to reduce friction
Etiology: acute (spontaneous w/ debilitating pain) or chronic (impingement) Acute: AROM, PROM classical severely limited (non capsular), empty end feel,
6. Instability/Laxity-Dislocations Instability: loss of neuro control (ex: scapulohumeral rhythm off) Hypermobility: leads to instability
Contraindications: inc mobility of GH jt (joint manipulation Gr III & IV), manual stretching, end ROM activities
7. Impingement/Instability/RTC tear: >35 yrs degenerative aging process; <35microtrauma to muscles, tendons, capsule, ligaments due to laxity & overuse
Classificationso Group I: Pure Impingement, no instability, >35 yrs due to overuse, posture,
acromion shape, DJD, post/inf capsule tightness, weakness of RTC/biceps Lack IR, ER, horiz add, dominant supraspinatus, hooked acromion,
AC DJD Tx: maximize subacromial space, improve capsular extensibility,
strengthen other RTCs & Bicepso Group II: primary instability due to microtrauma & impingement
IIa: internal impingement under surface of RTC when in abd/ER from glenoid fossa
IIb: Subacromial impingement Many different laxity test and some subtle instability Tx: strengthen & increase endurance of RTC, biceps, scap stabilizers,
NM training, functional techniqueso Group III: Primary instability due to hyperelasticity w/ impingement
Sensation provided by Musculocutaneous and Radial N.
Elbow Joint Capsule Dysfunction-Common source of referred pain by C8-T1-Nerve disorders: Ulnar N (cubital tunnel), Radial N (deep branch in ECRB/ sup or sup branch by direct trauma, Median N (pronator teres syndrome)-Carrying Angle: abd position of forearm, F: 10-15, M: 51. Capsular tightness
Result of immobilization, pt. will go to clinic after removal of cast/splint with adhesions & scar tissue already formed
Determine using PROM class/acc if loss of ROM due to muscle length or capsular tightness
Capsular pattern: flex>ext, pron=sup Functional Limitations: turning doorknob/key, pushing/pulling, hand to mouth
activities, carrying objects w/ straight arm, limited reach Tx: may require aggressive, prolonged stretching Post-op of Fx: head & neck of radius 33% of all fxs due to FOOSH
o Total Elbow Arthroplasty Precautions: avoid stress on triceps at end range, no resisted elbow ext for 6-12 weeks, limit repetitive lifting, no rec sports
2. Myositis Ossificans: heterotropic ossification seen with supracondylar fx, pos dislocation of elbow, stretching of elbow flex, brachialis muscle trauma
Exam Findings:o PFC: inc warmth, firm brachialiso PROM: elbow ext limit>flex, flex end range painfulo MSTT/MMT: pain with resisted elbow flexo PFT: palpation may be painful, may feel mass
Contraindications after trauma: massage, passive stx, resistive ex Tx: rest in splint until bony mass resorbed; only remove for ROM
3. Overuse Syndromes (tendonitis): Lateral Epicondylitis: extensor muscles of forearm (ECRB >ECU>ECRL) Medial Epicondylitis: flexor muscles of forearm, mostly FCR & pronator teres Triceps Tendonitis: distally Find the cause, usually a symptom of another impairment; must balance stress & rest
o Too much stressimmature collagen broken down before matures chronic inflammation
o Too much restcomplete immobilizationinadequate stressfail to strengthen mature collagenbreakdown of collagen in return to activity
o Pain with lengthening due to inflammation/damage & micro tears to tendon, and pain with gripping activities
4. Cubital Tunnel: entrapment/irritation of Ulnar N in cubital tunnel Pain/numbness, and parasthesia in ulnar side of forearm and hand Symptoms inc with functions requiring elbow flex Max shldr abd, elbow flex, forearm pron, wrist ext, will maximally stretch Ulnar N.
Wrist/Hand 10/26/13 7:49 PMHand Function-Muscles of wrist and hand work together
Wrist ext for stronger grip Wrist flex for stability of finger ext Extensor mechanism
o ED: MCP hyperext w/ IP flex Must have tension to get IP ext
o PIP & DIP ext together from pull of interossei/lumbricals one extensor hood Grip patterns:
o Power: clamping with partially flexed flingers against palm with counter pressure from add thumb (cylindrical, spherical, hook, grip, lateral prehension
o Isometric control of: extrinsic flexors, ED compression to MCP, interossei, thenar & add pollicis
Prehension: grasping of objects btwn any 2 surfaces in hand that isn’t the palmo Muscular control: extrinsic provide compression btwn fingers & DI w/
intrinsic interossei, thenar mms, lumbricals (hold obj away from palm) Combined grips: involved D1 & D2 for precision, D3, D4, D5 for power Wrist capsular pattern: flex=ext Finger capsular pattern: flex>ext
Wrist and Hand Dysfunctions1. RA: associated with tenderness/warmth over joints, muscle guarding/pain with motion, joint stiffness & dec ROM, muscle weakness, deformity, restricted ADLs
Chronic systemic disease affecting synovium I joints S&S: volar sublux triquetrum, Ulnar sublux of carpalsradial dev of wrist, ulnar
drift of fingers w/ volar sublux of prox phalanxstretch/rupture of collateral ligaments at MCP
Contraindication: stretching of swollen joints Work on cardiopulmonary endurance and low/non impact conditioning (aquatherapy,
hyperext Boutonniere deformity: volar displacement of lateral bandsDIP, MCP hyperext,
PIP flex Educate pt on balancing work & rest, avoiding deforming positions, using adaptive
equipment, energy conservation
2. Joint Hypomobility OA & post-traumatic arthritis, post-immobilization
o Protection phase: control pain, protect joints, grade I, II distractions & oscillations, PROM, AAROM, or AROM to maintain muscle integrity & tendon mobility, tendon gliding (5positions)
o Controlled motion/return to function phase: inc joint play & acc motions with Grade III, IV manipulations
Mobilizations with movement at wrist to inc joint tracking (apply lat glide while pt moves)
Improve balance & endurance3. Muscle Imbalances
Check for normal arthrokinematics (PROM acc) before initiating stretching Stretch distal to proximal to avoid joint compression (may not need to stretch over
every joint if tight)o ED: flex DIPflex PIPflex wristo Lumbricals: flex DIPflex PIPext MCPo FDS: ext PIPext MCP, ext wrist
MRE to strengthen after stretching4. Overuse Syndromes
Tenosynovitis/Tendonitis: pain, warmth, TTP, imbalance in muscle strength & length, poor endurance, pain worsens with activity
o Protection: splint, friction massage to tendon, mm setting, painfree ROM, pt tendon gliding
5. Wrist Sprain: pain with stretch force to ligament, possible hypermobility/ instability, maintain mobility while minimizing stress to healing tissue6. Tendon Repairs: must take into account MOI, location (which zone), other tissue involved
Treat conservatively but need to prevent adhesions Balance protection & movement: immobilization for tendon healing, early ROM to
prevent adhesions Surgery immediately: w/in 10 daysOK, >2wkspoor, >3-4wksdirect repair not
possible FLEXOR TENDON ZONES
1. FDP insert to FDS insert (FDP, A4&5 pulleyscan’t make fist)2. FDS insert to palmar crease (FDS, FDP tendons, annular pulleysunable to flex PIP, DIP)3. Neck of MC to distal border of Carpal Tunnel (FDP, FDS, lumbricalsMCP flex affected)4. Carpal Tunnel (FDS, FDP, FPL, Nerve injury)5. Prox wrist to extrinsic flexors (flexor tendons of digits & wristloss of wrist 7 digit flexion, Median & Ulnar N&A
o Tx: splint to prevent extension; early controlled motion with dorsal block splint in dynamic traction (passive flex to not put stress on flexor tendons, active extension to maintain ROM and strengthening
EXTENSOR TENDON ZONES1. DIP jt. region2. Middle Phalanx (1 & 2no active DIP ext, flex contracture, swan neck)3. PIP jt. region4. Proximal phalanx (3 & 4cannot ext PIP from 90, boutonniere)5. Apex of MCP jt (EDC, EIP, EDM damagecannot extend MCP)
6. Dorsum of hand7. Wrist (6 & 7retinaculum damage & multiple tendons, loss of ext of digits and wrist)
o Less likely to develop adhesions b/c extensors only glide at wrist joint, immobilized longer due to slower healing
Dynamic Ext splintallow for active MCP flexion but maintaining MCP ext at rest
Volar splints: short arc ex of PIP & DIP (wrist 30 deg flex) Dupuytren’s Contracture: flex contracture of 1 or more fingers from thickening of
palmar aponeurosiso Small thickened nodule preventing full MCP & PIP exto Treat with low force, prolonged stretch (splint)
Skier’s Thumb: sprain UCL of 1st MCP from hyperAB force to thumbo TTP and swelling over UCL, pain w/ pinchingo Tx: splint to stabilize, stretch of proximal MCP
7. Colles Fx: distal radial Fx due to FOOSH Complications: capsule tightness, sprain of UCL, avulsion fx, malalignmentCarpal
tunnel, limiting wrist flex & Ulnar dev RSD/CRPS Full return to ROM, strength & function may not be realistic (bony block with PROM
due to malalignment) Won’t see pt. in acute stage due to cast or external fixator
8. Scaphoid Fx: FOOSH in wrist ext TTP in anatomic snuff box, swelling, dec ROM Poor healing due to poor blood supplyavascular necrosis due to distalprox blood
supply9. TFCC: FOOSH usually wrist in pronation
Ulnar sided wrist pain, swelling, dec grip strength, click with ulnar dev
10. CRPS11. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: night pain, tingling, numbness, insidious onset, dec strength in Median N distribution, dec sensation, pain may refer proximally
