  4. Supraspinatus assists deltoid in ABD ER Infraspinatus ER/Hor. Abd Decelerator (ECC) Teres Minor ER/Hor. Abd Decelerator (ECC) Subscapularis only pure IR muscle Force Couple: RC:Deltoid Stabilizing effect Fig. 13-15, p. 433 Shoulder Anatomy: Rotator Cuff(P. 432)

  5. Shoulder Anatomy: Bursae(p. 437) • Purpose • Subacromial bursa • location • subacromial/subdeltoid

  6. Location know the anatomy know the biomechanics Onset: acute? chronic? worsen or improve with activity? Duration of pain? PMH (biomechanics) Mechanism of injury Overhead activity Collision Excessive ROM Repetitive motion Complaints “sliding out of place” aching or “dead” popping Shoulder Evaluation: History(p. 437-439)

  20. GH Joint Damage Bankart Tear--p. 463 Torn anterior labrum following chronic GH instability Labrum avulses from glenoid fossa • Hill-Sachs Lesion—p.466 • posterolateral humeral head indentation fracture • soft base of humeral head impacts glenoid • occurs in 35-40% of anterior dislocations & up to 80 % of recurrent dislocat.

  21. SLAP Lesions • Superior Labrum AnteroPosterior lesion • Near LH Biceps tendon • Pain worsens with ECC biceps work (follow-through motions) • Sx repair slow rehab progression • Classifications: • 4 Classes • P. 480: Table 13-13

  22. Special Tests: SLAP Lesions • O’Brien Test • Active Compression test • 90-90position with HAdd • RROM Trials in IR and ER • (+) test= pain or clicking at GH joint (not AC) • False (+) common

  23. Special Tests: GH Joint(p. 453) • Anterior Apprehension Test • Identifies chronicity of anterior instability • Figure Box 13-5 • PROM ER of GH in 90-90 position • Positive (+)= Extreme guarding during test indicates ant laxity or labrum tear

  24. Special Tests: GH Joint(p. 465) • Relocation Test • Confirms instability in GH joint • Box 13-12 • Apprehension test with posterior GH pressure • Positive (+)= increased ER or decreased pain without extreme guarding

  41. Shoulder Motion • Mobility > Stability • OveruseAltered Biomechanicsinjury • Good biomechanics prevent injury
