Muscles impinging on acromion in overhead activity
impingement syndrome
Impingement syndrome is cause by
repetitive micro trauma from upper extremity activity performed above horizontal plane
Prognosis for impingement syndrome
treated conservatively
A tear in one of the rotator cuff muscle tendons
rotator cuff tear
Rotator cuff tear caused by
trauma, repetitive micro trauma, or postural abnormalities
Rotator cuff prognosis
some pt. dont regain full motion after a tear, even after treatment
Compression fracture of posterior humeral head
Hill sachs lesion
Hill sachs lesion is associated with
anterior shoulder dislocation
Hill sachs lesion prognosis
treatments are complex and are done mainly for the instability it causes
Tearing of superior glenoid labrum from anterior to posterior
SLAP lesion
Slap lesion occurs from
damge to the superior part of the labru,
Slap lesion prognosis
without surgery, full recovery is very rare
Injury to the anterior glenoid labrum. The posterior capsule may be stretched and the inferior glenoid ligament is torn
Bankart lesion
Bankart lesion is associated with
anterior shoulder dislocation (often accompanied by the hill sachs lesion)
Bankart lesion prognosis
will heal on their own and generally dont require surgery
Inflammation and stiffness of the shoulder capsule
adhesive capulitis
Adhesive capsulitis is caused by
adhesive fibrosis and scarring between capsule/RC/subacromial bursa/deltoid, or trauma/direct injury
Adhesive capsulitis prognosis
If PT measures are uunsuccessful, surgery may be used, especially in severe cases
Unilateral contracture of SCM
congenital torticollis
Congenital torticollis is caused by
malpositioning in utero or birth trauma
Congenital torticollis prognosis
a small number of cases require surgery to release the muscle
