TRANSCRIPT
Muscle Assessment of Shoulder
• Global postural assessment• Architecture ie position of thumb / olecranon• Muscle bulk at shoulder and spine
– Lateral deltoid atrophy
• Scapular symmetry• Cervical spine
Muscle Assessment of Shoulder
• Static scapular position– Normal slight ABD/ER
• Winging– Medial - serratus anterior– Rotatory - rhomboids, levator scapula, trapezius, lat
dorsi– Inferior angle - tight pec minor, LFT weakness
Muscle Assessment of Shoulder
• Scapulohumeral rhythm in ABD– Scapular and GH force couples
• 0 to 80 ABD– GHJ- deltoid and supraspinatus– Scapular - upper trap and upper SA– ICOR- root scapula– more GH mov’t than scapular
Muscle Assessment of Shoulder
• 80 to 140 ABD– Continued UFT/ upper serratus and
deltoid/supraspinatus force couples– 90 ABD- additional rotatory force lower trap
and lower Serratus anterior– ICOR moves laterally to ACJ– More scapular mov’t than GHJ– Significance of scapular control in range where
most impingement occurs.
Muscle Assessment of Shoulder
• 140 to 180 ABD– Less UFT in inner range elevation– Ongoing deltoid/supraspinatus– Increased lower trap and serratus to rotate scapula– mid trap retracts scapula, counteracted by serratus
protraction– More GHJ mov’t than scapular
Muscle Length Tests
• Scapular quadrants
• Latissimus Dorsi– crk lying, post pelvic tilt, arms OH to bed with
ER.
• Pec minor– Measure distance post acromion off bed– stabilize ribs 3,4,5 and push coracoid to bed.
• Pec major– Clavicular- horiz ext at 90 ABD, arm flat table– Sternal- ABD 165, arm flat table
• Levator Scapula– Neck Flexion, SB/Rot away. Stabilize superior
medial scapula
• Upper trapezius– Neck flexion. SB away/Rot towards. Stabilize
superior scapula
Muscle Length Tests
• Scalenes– Anterior- SB away, slight Rot towards– Mid- SB away.– Posterior- SB away, slight Rot away
Functional Scapular Tests
• Isometric scapular retraction– trouble holding position and “burning” in less
than 15 seconds + for weakness• Wall push up• Scapular assistance test
– stabilize scapula and provide ER as elevatearm- ?impingement symptoms relieve
– Simulates SA and LFT force couple
Functional Scapular Tests
• Scapular dyskinesia “hitch or jump”– especially in descending phase of elevation
• 4 point palpation• Kiblers
– Hands side-little muscle activity– Hands on hips-low level LFT and SA– 90 abd- 40% max work of LFT, SA, UFT,
rhomboids
“Best Exercises” RA Ekstrom et al 2003, Moseley et al 1992
• Upper trap– Shoulder shrug
• Mid trap– Prone horizontal extension (with ER)
• Low trap– Prone arm raise overhead– Prone horizontal extension with ER– Rowing
• Rhomboids– Prone horizontal extension in neutral
• Serratus Anterior– Shoulder flexion, horizontal flexion, and ER
• Dynamic hug position– Abduction in scapular plane above 120– Push up with plus– Punch
• Lower Trap and Serratus Anterior– Prone: arm raise overhead– Abduction in scapular plane above 120
• Supraspinatus– Scaption “thumbs up”, 90 to 125 degrees– Flexion, 90 to 125 degrees
• Empty vs full can position– Empty can- impingement position, superior migration– EMG full can better ( Kelly: AJSM 1996)
• Infraspinatus/Teres Minor– Sidelying ER– Prone rowing ER– Prone horizontal ABD/ER 90/90 position
• Subscapularis– “lift off” movement– Forehand tennis serve IR at 45 Abduction– IR at 0 Abduction
Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
• All muscles of RC and deltoid activethroughout full range of ABD and FLEX– RC creates humeral head compression, and
counteracts the vertical force of deltoid.
• If RC dynamic stabilizers fatigue, getsuperior migration of humeral head leadingto impingement.– Vertical vector deltoid unopposed
• Focus on endurance component of RC withstrength training
• Contraction posterior RC reduces anteriorcapsule strain by pulling humeral headposterior during ER
• ER should be 65 -70% strength of IR
• If IR’s much stronger contributes to pullinghumeral head anterior.
• Consider doing IR/ER strength in scapularplane vs coronal– Higher ER torque in scapular plane– Functional plane
• Bias posterior shoulder strengthening– Subscapularis emphasis may promote anterior
HH translation
• Improve flexibility posterior shoulder– Tight post capsule, or decreased flexibility post
RC will cause anterior migration of HH
• Improve dynamic caudal glide provided byRC muscles/ LH biceps– Prevent superior migration of HH.
• Importance of trunk stability and LQstrength on shoulder function– Especially for sport
• Open and closed chain work– Facilitate joint proprioceptors to enhance
stability and dynamic control• Early introduction easy CKC exercises
– Axial loading to increase non contractilestability
– Facilitates co contraction around joint
Sequence of Strength Exercises
• Scapular stabilization• Humeral head stabilization• Advanced scapular and GH exercises• Return to function/sport specific exercises• Plyometric exercises
Scapular stabilization• Scapular control neuromuscular drills• Sidelying
– Active scapular PRO/RET/ELEV/DEP• Feldenkrais- hand on table
– Progress manual resistance– Progress to scapular diagonals/circles– Can apply rhythmic stabilization and slow
reversals in various ranges• Sitting- tubing/pulleys
Scapular stabilization• Isolate specific muscles that tested weak• Serratus anterior
– Sidelying- arm on ball, punching• Progress- remove ball
– Supine- on roll• Punch - bilateral to unilateral - progress circles• Shoulder flexion,horizontal flexion, and ER
– Promotes scapular external rotation– Add tubing
Scapular stabilization• Serratus anterior
– Sitting- distal arm on ball punching• Manual resist scapular ER• Do circles
– Sitting- bilateral punching with tubing– Sitting- arm abduction in scapular plane on
table above 120 ( force couple with LFT)– Prone: arm raise overhead ( F. couple with
LFT)
Scapular stabilization
• Mid and lower trap/ Rhomboids– Sidely to sitting- arm on ball, and retract
• Manual resistance, tubing– Stand face wall- horizontal extension (+/- ER)– Stand face wall - karate chop slide/lift– Stand face away wall-push back arms in ER, move
through 60-90 ABD

Humeral head stabilization• Start with isometrics
– sub maximal, through range.– Short lever arm to start
• Include elbow flexion• Emphasis ER/IR 0 degrees• Abduction 0/30/60• Scaption 30/60 thumb up
Humeral head stabilization
• Start easy CKC exercise as soon as you can– Isometric WB hands on table– Isometric WB hands on wall– With above add:
• wt shift, hand slide, rhythmic stabilization,movement vs resistance
Humeral head stabilization
• Short arc concentric/eccentric strength• Abduction approaching 90 degrees• Scaption abduction up to 90 degrees, thumb up• Flexion up to 90• IR/ER with rolled towel in scaption• Biceps with shoulder in 35-40 flexion
Humeral head stabilization

Humeral head stabilization
• Specific infraspinatus / Teres Minor– Sidelying ER– Prone rowing ER– Prone horizontal ABD 90/elbow 90
Humeral head stabilization
• Specific subscapularis– IR From 45 ABD scaption plane so less lats and
pec minor contribution.
