    Study Notes

    AC Joint Dysfunction (Acromioclavicular)

    • Improve joint mechanics through joint mobilizations.
    • Strengthen rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers with exercises like rows and horizontal abduction.

    Pronator Syndrome

    • Reduce median nerve compression with nerve gliding exercises.
    • Release tight forearm muscles using soft tissue mobilization.
    • Consider the "Prayer Stretch" to alleviate the symptoms.

    External Impingement

    • Enhance shoulder mechanics by performing scapular stabilization exercises.
    • Use manual therapy techniques such as posterior glenohumeral joint mobilization.
    • External Rotation with Resistance Band exercise can be helpful.

    Internal Impingement

    • Improve shoulder internal rotation by stretching the posterior capsule.
    • Strengthen the rotator cuff and scapular muscles.
    • Consider the "Cross-Body Stretch" to target tightness in the posterior capsule and muscles.

    SLAP Tear (Superior Labral Anterior-Posterior)

    • Strengthen the rotator cuff and periscapular muscles.
    • Improve shoulder mobility and reduce labral stress with joint mobilization.
    • Scapular Retraction exercise can aid in stability and improve shoulder movement.

    Bankart Tear

    • Perform shoulder stabilization exercises.
    • Prevent shoulder dislocation by engaging in proprioception and neuromuscular training.
    • Scapular Retraction exercise can be beneficial for stability.

    Biceps Tendonitis

    • Strengthen the biceps tendon with eccentric exercises.
    • Reduce tendon irritation through soft tissue mobilization and cross-friction massage.

    Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)

    • Utilize eccentric wrist extensor strengthening exercises.
    • Manage pain through soft tissue mobilization and ultrasound therapy.
    • Consider the "Wrist Extensor Stretch" to relieve tension in the forearm extensors.

    Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow)

    • Strengthen wrist flexors eccentrically.
    • Address forearm flexor muscle tightness through stretching and manual therapy.

    Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)

    • Improve scapular position and upper body alignment with postural exercises.
    • Perform nerve gliding exercises for the brachial plexus.
    • Consider the "Scalene Stretch" to alleviate tension.

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    • Utilize median nerve gliding exercises.
    • Reduce pressure on the median nerve with wrist splinting, especially at night.
    • "Phalens or reverse phalens" test can be implemented.

    De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis

    • Rest the tendons with thumb and wrist splinting.
    • Strengthen the extensor pollicis brevis and abductor pollicis longus muscles eccentrically.
    • Consider the "Finkelstein Stretch" to relieve tension.

    TFCC Tear (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)

    • Perform wrist stabilization exercises.
    • Enhance ulnar-sided wrist motion with mobilization techniques.
    • Consider isometric exercises focusing on all wrist movements except ulnar deviation.

    Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

    • Engage in ulnar nerve gliding exercises.
    • Prevent excessive elbow flexion with elbow padding or bracing.
    • Consider the "Flexor Stretch" to alleviate tension.
