Q

Post trauma/injury or post surgery - tissue repair phase 2:

A
  • : proliferation: peaks 3 weeks tapers 3-6 weeks
  • Controlled mobility: tissue healing, protocol may restrict range
  • Want controlled mobility here while the tissue is being laid down to make it more extensible and align the fibers

Q

Pathogenesis/clinical manifestations of adhesive capsulitis

A
  • Contracture of capsule and ligaments
  • Inflammatory synovitis → capsule fibrosis
  • Capsule fibrosis notes upon arthroscopy (there are certain areas where these are generally located) -Coracohumeral ligament, Capsular ligament, Axillary pouch
  • Shoulder contracture

Q

Freezing stage of adhesive capsulitis - time frame
- signs and symptoms

A
  • 2.5-9 months
  • Inflammatory synovitis
  • Pain at rest
  • ROM progressively decreasing
  • Empty end feel → wont let you move it they are in too much pain
  • High irritability classification

Q

Frozen phase of adhesive capsultits
- time Frame
- signs and symptoms

Study These Flashcards
A
  • 4-12 months:
  • Fibrosis adhesions in joint capsule (capsular fibrosis)
  • Decreased ROM capsule pattern (ER>ABD>IR)
  • Pain at end ranges
  • See RC, deltoid atrophy due to decrease use
  • No inflammation
  • Moderate irritability classification
21
Q

Thawing phase of adhesive capsulitis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • 2-24 months
  • No inflammatory synovitis
  • ROM improving: no/minimal pain except at end ranges
  • Returning to function
  • Low irritability classification
22
Q

What is the irritability classifications (adhesive capsulitis

Study These Flashcards
A
  • high irritability
  • moderate irritability
  • low irritability
23
Q

High irritability classification

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Pain: 7 or higher + night and resting pain
  • Disability score: high DASH
  • End range pain: prior to reaching end range
  • AROM < PROM secondary to pain (they do not want to initiate pain)
24
Q

Moderate irritability classification

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Pain: 4-6 + intermittent night and rest pain
  • Diability score: moderate DASH score
  • Pain at end range ROM
  • AROM ~ PROM
25
Low irritability classification
- Pain 3 or less + no night or resting pain - Disability score: low DASH - Minimal pain with end ROM or over pressure - AROM = PROM
26
GH joint play
- GH lateral distraction that can turn into treatment - Looks at extensibility of capsule
27
Arthrokinematics glides
- can also turn into treatment - mobs
28
Inferior glide is needed for what movements
- elevation, abduction, posterior elevation, flexion
29
Anterior glide is needed for what movements
- ER, H abd, extension
30
Posterior glide needed for what motions
- IR, flexion, Hadduction
31
SC joint in - vertical plane - transverse place
- Vertical plan: convex on concave - Transverse plan: concave on convex
32
Joint play assessment of SC joint
- Elevation: inferior glide of clavicular head - Retraction: posterior glide of clavicular head - Protraction: anterior glide of clavicular head - Closed pack: full abduction with full ER
33
SC joint injury
- Rare usually fracture clavicle - Exam: ROM, joint play, strength, palation
34
medical Intervention for SC joint injury
- Partial tearing: rest, immobilization for healing, f/b ROM, exercise - Complete tearing: instability - Surgery, prevent clavicle posterior migration
35
AC joint: supporting ligaments
- acromioclavicular ligament - Coracoclavicular ligament (conoid/trapezoid)
36
Joint play of AC joint
- Assess and can turn into treatment - 2 glides of clavicle on acromion (follow joint plane) - posterior/superior glide - anterior /inferior glide
37
Separated shoulder | What is it and how is it classifyed?
- Step off deformity - Grade 1: acromioclavicular ligament sprain (stretched) - Grade 2: acromioclavicular ligament torn but coracoclavicular ligament sprained - Grade 3: acromioclavicular ligament torn and coracoclavicular ligament torn
38
AC joint injury presentation
- Protect arm held IR and adducted - AC, SC shrug shoulders, protract, retract pain - ACJ ROM = painful arc 140 and above - Increase AC joint play - Palpation AC joint - pain, crepitus, swelling - Decrease strength of shoulder - muscle inhibition
39
Special test for AC joint injury
- +step off deformity +cross over test + AC shear test
40
Fractured clavicle
- Can cause brachial plexus injury or injury to subclavian artery and or vein - Immobilize to heal, surgery not common - Malalignment can compress brachial plexus - Can get swelling down into the UE → move wrist, forearm and shoulder to decrease some swelling and decrease ROM losses
41
Examination of shoulder complex for a clavicle fracture
- As healing allows - Assess ROM and mobility of AC, SC, GH joint - Assess strength of shoulder complex - Note an possible brachial plexus Signs and symptoms
42
Clavicle fracture once healed interventions
- Shoulder complex mobility - ROM - PROM → AAROM → AROM - AC, SC, GH joint mobs as needed
43
What to restore for a clavicle fracture
- Strength of shoulder complex - Submax, multiangle isometrics → AROM, Isotonic
44
Treatment for high irritability classification for shoulder hypomobility - modalities - activity modification - ROM - Manual tech - strength - function - other
- Modalities: yes - Activity modification: yes (don't want to create pain) - ROM, stretch: 5 seconds, pain free, PROM/AAROM - Manual tech: low grade (1 or 2) - Strength: not many - Function: min - low function - Other: steroid injection 4-6 weeks relief
45
what is open pack position for the shoulder
- 55 abduction - 35 ER
46
treatment for Moderate Irritability classification - Modalities: - Activity modification: - ROM, stretch: - Manual tech: - Strength: - Function - Other:
- Modalities: yes - Activity modification: yes - ROM, stretch: 15 seconds PROM, AAROM, AROM - Manual tech: Low to high grades - Strength: not many - Function: basic with pain at end ranges - Other: n/a
47
treatment for Low irritability classification modalities: Activity modification ROM Manual tech Strength Function Other
- Modalities: n/a - Activity modification: n/a - ROM, stretch: end ranges over pressure, TERT - Manual tech: high grade - Strength: increase resistance - Function: high - Other: n/a
48
General treatment outline for hypo mobile shoulder
- Warm up: modalities, easy ROM - Mobilizations: joint distraction, arthrokinematic glides - Stretching TERT - PROM, AAROM, AROM - Strength progression in available range, Isometric submax, multi-angle, AAROM, AROM, isotonic - HEP
