Study Notes
- The text discusses the diagnosis and treatment of two shoulder conditions: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) and Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy (RTC).
- Osteoarthritis (OA):
- Characterized by joint pain worsened by movement.
- Diagnostic criteria: advanced age, previous trauma, gradual onset, increased stiffness, joint pain with activity, and pain at end of day.
- Objective findings: decreased active and passive range of motion (ROM), crepitus, capsular end-feel, and pain at end-range ROM.
- Interventions: patient education, joint mobilizations, stretching exercises, and medical interventions (corticosteroid injection and surgery).
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy (RTC):
- Often occurs in middle-aged individuals.
- Diagnostic criteria: pain at the top and lateral aspect of the shoulder, weakness, history of repetitive overhead activity, and prior trauma.
- Objective findings: scapular dyskinesis, pain with overhead elevation, painful arc of movement, crepitus, and tenderness over rotator cuff and biceps insertions.
- Interventions: patient education, joint mobilizations, stretching exercises, and medical interventions (oral anti-inflammatories, corticosteroid injection, and surgery).
- Stages: inflammation, partial tearing, and full tear.
- Common impairments and tests for both conditions: patient education, improving joint mobility, and neurological tests (Full Thickness: External Rotation Lag Sign, Internal Rotation Lag Sign, and Partial Thickness: Painful arc, Neer’s test, Hawkin’s-Kennedy Test, Infraspinatus Muscle Test, and Belly Press Test).
- Interventions for both conditions: improving tissue tolerance through loaded active exercises, improving force production, normalizing movement, and addressing mechanics that contributed to the pathology.
- Outcome measures for both conditions: Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), QuickDASH, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and Penn Shoulder Scale (PSS).
