Mental Disorders: Frozen Shoulders

In conclusion, it was said that the disabled throwing shoulder comprises a spectrum of pathology. Dead arm was found to be the most dramatic and severe. The most common cause of the dead arm was the type II SLAP

On 6/19/17 I contacted Evergreen physical therapy and requested an update from his physical therapist. On 6/20/17 I was faxed a current update. Mr. Stevens continues to report pain to his shoulder at a 8 out of 10. Moving the shoulder increases the pain Mr. Stevens continues to be very motivated to get better. They continue to recommend physical therapy to continue at 3 times per

The progression of activities in CS’s treatment will be based on compensation techniques and strengthening his active muscles. In CS’s case, his fall injury led to a complete C5 ASIA A lesion, causing him to lose both sensory and motor functions below the C5 level. CS’s limitations in ROM, strength, endurance, functional mobility, and absence of motor and sensation affects his performance in ADL’s and IADL’s. Since CS’s biceps and shoulder muscles will contribute to his main functional movements, PROM and BUE strengthening exercise will begin immediately. PROM exercises will be provided on CS when laying prone to prevent tendon shortening and contracture formation. Wheelchair theraband exercises will be provided for BUE strengthening by

*insert article *attachedBesides being able to see the inside of a shoulder, doctors use different physical tests to evaluate the shoulder in order to determine what type of injury and how severe an injury may be. One such test was recently developed by Dr. Carl J. Basamania at the Womack Army Medical center in Fort Bragg, N.C. The test was developed to evaluate shoulder instability in a patient. During the test the Dr. or examiner stands next to the patient who is to lay flat on his/her back. The hand of the examined should is held firmly by the examiner. The examiner then pushes against the clavicle to stabilize th scapula, while they also gently hold the pectoral muscle with their thumb in order to be able to assess relaxation. The examiner then rotates the arm form neutral to full external rotation. If the patient has AIGHL incompetence there is a lack of tightening as the arm reaches full external rotation. The test has appeared to be highly accurate and may be of value to Dr.'s and surgeons alike. After doctors have determined what type and what degree of injury a patient has sustained using various tests it is on to the next step, rehabilitation.

Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is the stiffness and pain of the shoulder joint or periarthritis (Sonu & Sushma, 2015). This pathology affects the glenohumeral joint involving a chronic inflammation that results in the thickening of the capsule and the synovium (Sonu & Sushma, 2015). This occurs in 2-5% of the general population, but mainly in middle aged individuals (Sonu & Sushma, 2015). There are two forms of adhesive capsulitis, primary and secondary. The primary form is the occurrence of adhesive capsulitis with no identifiable systemic condition or disease that explains the loss of range of motion (ROM) or the patient's pain (Sonu & Sushma, 2015). The secondary form is when a condition is associated with the patient's loss of ROM and/or the patient's pain

The shoulder girdle is an intricate anatomic structure representation to maximize three-dimensional motion of the hand and opposing thumb, and although the shoulder is often thought of as synonymous with the glenohumeral joint, it is in fact possessed of four separate joints, (acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, glenohumeral and scapulothoracic), as well as numerous muscles and ligaments that follow synergistically to limit gesture of the upper extremity. Make headway in cross-sectional imaging over the past decade have insurrection imaging of the shoulder girdle, mainly with deem to the soft-tissue structures. Trauma to the shoulder is common. Usually injuries range from a separated shoulder resulting from a fall onto the shoulder

The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint of the body moving in three planes and around three axes (Lippert, 2011). The shoulder joint is made up of a synovial ball and socket articulation between the large head of the humerus, and the small glenoid cavity of the scapula, making it one of the least stable joints and more prone to injuries (Lippert, 2011). The stability of this joint highly relies on its ligaments, tendons, glenoid labrum and its muscles (Lippert, 2011). Although these structures maintain the stability of the shoulder joint, it is prone to many injuries and pathologies such as a labral tear.

The shoulder joint is also know as the glenohumeral joint is a “ball and socket” between the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula bone(shoulder blade). The six main movements of the shoulders are: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation. Flexion is when the upper arm is elevated forward toward the face. Extension is when the arm moves backward behind the plane of the body. Abduction is when the arm moves up and out to the side away from the body. Adduction is when the arm is pulled in towards the side of

As an incredibly experienced orthopedic doctor, Dr. Tehrany was able to find the source to Dan’s pain within minutes during the appointment. But, in order to ensure that everything was examined before proceeding with the proper treatment, Dr. Tehrany immediately scheduled an MRI and X-Rays for the troublesome shoulder. The complete scans proved Dr. Tehrany’s diagnosis: Dan suffered a biceps tendonitis, a condition were the

It appears the current program of being off work and on appropriate medication is providing an opportunity to make progress with the right shoulder. There are objective indications of gains in tissue mobility as well as strength and endurance at the right shoulder noted above.

Adhesive Capsulitis (AC) commonly known as Frozen shoulder (FS), is a condition characterised by stiffness and pain in the glenohumeral joint (GH), with limitations to both active and passive range of motion in all directions. It can arise from an injury or trauma to the shoulder and chest area or spontaneously without any obvious preceding event (Van der Zwaal, and Van de Laar, 2014: Tami, Akutsu and Yano, 2013).

Study Design – Patients who underwent a traumatic shoulder dislocation were randomized into an operated and non-operated group. Patients were then followed for a minimum of 24 and maximum of 56 months to determine whether a subsequent dislocation or constant instability was experienced.

Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (Frozen shoulder) affects 3% of the adult population; most commonly a person aged 40-65yrs and is one of the leading causes of shoulder pain. Either shoulder can be affected but generally it occurs in the non-dominant shoulder [1].

Strapping has the theoretical advantages in reducing glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) and preserving range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder joint. There is different strapping technique that claims to reduce shoulder subluxation at the same time allowing upper arm to move actively and passively. According to Hanger et al. (2000), strapping of the hemiplegic shoulder is used as a method for preventing or reducing shoulder subluxation and may provide a certain level of sensory stimulation. It also stabilise glenohumeral joint, support surrounding musculature and decrease inflammation. Current understandings described that strapping has potential to reduce pain, increase range of motion (Griffin & Bernhart, 2006) and long-terms effects

Rai Chi Chan engages in an experiment using virtual reality to improve the rate of movement of patients with frozen shoulder disease. The experiment was done on 16 subjects who had a average of 58.6 years and an injury span
