Slowly extend their wrist and fingers and deviate the wrist to the radial side. Neurovascular Compression (TOS) caused by the middle scalene. Patient resists therapist posteriorly-directed pressure (Grade 5). Positive Sign: Purpose: to stretch the spinal cord and the dural tube to reproduce the pain caused by nerve root involvement or meningeal irritation. Do the left side afterwards. The examiner should stand beside the patient with distal hand holding the patient's wrist and hand. Structural abnormalities are shown to attribute to posterior instability of the shoulder. [27], Supporting musculature of the scapula need to function properly to decrease the stress on the static stabilizers of the joint such as ligamentous and capsular structures that may have been compromised with surgery. [1] [2] [3] Translation that is not symptomatic is considered laxity. Sharp pain at the location of the neuroma. Level II evidence suggests that recurrence is lower with surgical vs. conservative management. Infection of the frontal and maxillary sinuses. Flex hip and knee of the unaffected leg that is at the bottom, Stabilize the Patient’s pelvis with one hand. This test checks for a possible torn labrum or anterior instability problem.

[1] [4] Macrotrauma is a mechanism from a substantial injury such as a blow to the anterior shoulder or axial load while the shoulder is flexed. To perform this test, the patient is in the supine position with the involved knee flexed to 30 degrees and supported by a pillow. In most cases Physiopedia articles are a secondary source and so should not be used as references. Posterior Apprehension Test video by Eric Sorenson (, Kim Test video by Clinically Relevant Technologies (. In cases of bony Bankart lesions, recurrent instability can cause erosive or attritional loss of the glenoid rim causing progressive instability. A normal Q angle with the knee extended and the quadriceps muscle relaxed is 18° degrees for women and 13° degrees for men. Further views that may be useful include: AP views with the shoulder internally rotated, a West Point view, a Didiee view, and a Stryker notch view. There are specific guidelines to consider in individualising the rehabilitation of each patient. The roentgenographic evaluation of anterior shoulder instability. The test can be repeated in supine. Multifactorial causes of posterior shoulder instability. Neurovascular Compression (TOS) between the clavicle and Rib 1. Spasticity present with Central Nervous System Lesions, Positive Sign: Oper Tech Sports Med. the Median nerve, Musculocutaneous Nerve, and Axillary Nerve as the source of the patient’s painful shoulder and arm, Testing For: Excessive posterior translation of the talus, Positive Sign: [22] One week of immobilization was sufficient for patients over the age of 30. Weak evidence supports 3-4 weeks immobilization followed by 12 weeks of rehab including ROM and stability exercises to regain maximal pre-morbid function after a dislocation. The most recent findings of reasonable apprehension of bias by the Court of Appeal in the civil context helpfully reflect a representative cross-section of the types of judicial conduct that could result in a case being sent back for redetermination. [8] This pain or sense of instability is often elicited when their arm is in the position of forward flexion, adduction, and internal rotation. Found inside – Page 272Findings may include decreased glenohumeral range of motion secondary to pain or apprehension and should incorporate a number of special tests, ... A fourth test, the bony apprehension test, is similar to the apprehension test, but is used to diagnose instability with a significant osseous lesion component.[8]. Strengthening exercises engage the muscular stabilizers of the shoulder joint to compensate for the stretched capsule that often occurs with shoulder instability and to promote proprioception of the joint. Physiopedia articles are best used to find the original sources of information (see the references list at the bottom of the article).

Purpose: C5, C6, C7 nerve roots and median nerve as the source of the patient’s painful shoulder and arm. Femur: Then therapist stands at the side of the table to compare the positions of the patellas looking for the shorter femur. To compare the lengths: Pain or the Patient cannot slowly and smoothly adduct their arm back to the side. Humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligaments is also a cause of anterior shoulder instability. the stability of the biceps tendon and integrity of the transverse humeral ligament, Positive Sign: [1] It is an injury to the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) where the humerus is displaced from its normal position in the center of the glenoid fossa and the joint surfaces no longer touch each other. The patient is in a supine position, with the shoulder in 90° of abduction and maximal lateral rotation. A series of five studies examined factors that influence how students respond to questions on a writing apprehension test. Northwestern University's Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement SciencesAnterior Apprehension Test of the Shoulder, for testing anterior instability A conservative rehabilitation program needs to be patient specific, based on the type and degree of shoulder instability present and the desired level of return to function. Part 1 is a provocation oriented test. JOSPT. The therapist will flex the patient's elbow to 90 degrees and abducts the patient's shoulder to 90 degrees, maintaining neutral rotation. The examiner then slowly applies an external rotation force to the arm to 90 degrees while carefully monitoring the patient . Patient apprehension from this maneuver, not pain, is considered a positive test. highest immediately before-and during the first. [4]  If a patient’s main complaint is vague shoulder pain, the clinician may first need to rule out injuries such as a SLAP or rotator cuff tear. Patient keeps the unaffected leg flexed, and slowly lowers the affected leg and lets it extend as far as it can, Short QUADS: the affected knee stays extended, Short Psoas muscles: the hips remains flexed, Therapist stands behind patient, paying attention to the patient’s PSIS and iliac spines, Patient’s knees and hips flexed , with the plantar surfaces of their feet on the table, Their medial malleoli even and knees together, Patient is supine, with both their affected side’s knee and hip flexed to 90° degrees, Therapist compresses the iliotibial band (ITB) – 2 centimetres proximal to the lateral femoral condyle, Instruct the patient to extend the knee and hip slowly while therapist maintains compression of the ITB proximal to the lateral femoral condyle, Observe the profile of both knees from the side of the table, Therapist palpates the patella while the patient performs knee bends, Patient is supine, the affected knee is extended as much as possible (with effusion, patient may not be able to extend their knee fully), Therapist gently extends the knee further, then compresses the patella down on to the condyles then release, Patient is supine, their affected knee is extended as much as they can, Therapist slowly sweeps the effusion from the superior lateral aspect of the knee and suprapatellar pouch, Patient is standing, with the knee in extension and, femur neutral: (no internal or external rotation) and, patient’s feet in a neutral position (no pronation or supination). Apply forward pressure from behind Shoulder. Patient takes a breath while bearing down, as if moving the bowels. Hemipelvis* – one side of the pelvis.

The anatomy of the repair, tissue involved, patient motivation, and complications are factors that play a large role in the success and progression of a rehabilitation program. Operative treatment for soft tissue structures typically involves the reattachment of the posteror capsulolabral complex and retensioning of the redundant posteroinferior aspect of the capsule. Therapist pushes in an oblique posterolateral direction, away from the tested side. CT may be useful to demonstrate and quantify bony abnormalities including glenoid bone loss or fractures, glenoid version and humeral head abnormalities. Approximately 50% of patients report a distinct injury that brought on the instability or symptoms they have, yet only 17% report having a dislocation requiring reduction. Testing for: Microtrauma can lead to degeneration of anatomical structures that function to stabilize the joint. 1989;488-494. Therefore, operative treatment may involve more than one procedure to address the factors contributing to the instability. Bony apprehension test Purpose: To test if bony lesions are contributing to the cause of anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint (1). 1987; 15: 175-178.

An evaluation of the apprehension, relocation, and surprise tests for anterior shoulder instability. Safran O, DeFranco MJ, Hatem S, Iannotti J. Posterior Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament as a Cause of Posterior Shoulder Instability. Again, the rotator cuff and periscapular muscles are important dynamic stabilizers of the joint and much of the rehabilitation is focused on these muscles. 2007;18:386-390. Patient actively extends right knee then dorsiflexes the right foot. The Stryker notch view is obtained with the patient in the supine position and the arm forward flexed to 100° with the x-ray centred over the coracoid . Special Test: Patellar Apprehension Test: PROCEDURE: • Patient is supine with their affected knee extended • Therapists uses a slow and moderate pressure against the medial aspect of the patella moving it in a lateral direction • Therapist observes patient’s reaction. Testing for: possible presence of appendicitis or peritoneal inflammation. Phys Sports Med. Overuse injury to the supraspinatus tendon, Positive Sign: Testing for: [6]  If a plain radiograph reveals there may be bony abnormalities then Computerized Tomography (CT) scans are recommended for their ability to better delineate bone quality and glenoid morphology. Conservative treatment includes neuromuscular reeducation, strengthening, and activity modification. analysis procedure was used to provide a visual compar4on of speaker apprehension levels during different points-in the. Positive Sign: Patient cannot hold the affected leg off the table (in flexion and slight external rotation). The Q-angle is formed from a line drawn from the ASIS to the center of the kneecap, and from the center of the kneecap to the tibial tubercle. Glenoid defect associated with anterior shoulder instability: results of open Bankart repair. Patient actively and slowly extends, sidebends and rotates their thorax and lumbar spine to the affected side. Posterior Apprehension. September 28, 2010; DOI 10.1007/s00167-0101-1293-z. Patient is supine, with their hands behind their head. Muscle activation and cutaneous reflex modulation during rhythmic and discrete arm tasks in orthopaedic shoulder instability. During the early rehabilitation program, caution must be applied in placing the capsule under stress until dynamic joint stability is restored. Important structures that stabilize the shoulder and can be the cause of dysfunction include the posterior band of the inferior gleno-humeral ligament, glenoid, coracohumeral ligament, posterior capsule, the rotator cuff muscles and the biceps tendon. [7] [27]  Gentle isometric contraction is suggested as the first active muscle contraction progressing to AROM and resisted exercises. That is usually the journal article where the information was first stated. Procedure 1: Active Free – Client supine, abduct, extend, laterally rotate arm. Some of these materials can be potential “inhibitors” to steps later on in the DNA testing procedure so it is important to try and isolate only the DNA molecules.

Procedure: Grasp the elbow and wrist of the patient’s affected arm using your left and right hands respectively. The median Kujala score increased from 52 to 77 (P = .001), and the median Tegner activity level improved from 3 to 4 (P = .001). The supine apprehension test helps predict the risk of recurrent instability after a first-time anterior shoulder dislocation. Place the affected leg in extension and slight external rotation. The redislocation rate found in this study is less t … Milgrom C, Milgrom Y, Radeva-Petrova D, Jaber S, Beyth S, Finestone AS. Place your thumbs on the medial side of the patella and push it laterally. Criminal Apprehension. At the same time, therapist places both hands symmetrically over the patient’s thorax, moving them over the lungs and bronchi assessing for the presence of vocal fremitus or palpable vibrations in the lungs. (Therapist can also palpate the movement of the tibial tuberosity). [6]. – Pain or tenderness along the lateral aspect of the joint line indicates lateral meniscus injury. A combination of laxity and a reproduction of the symptoms determines a positive or negative result. Purpose: To find out whether the spinal curvature is functional or structural. J Hand Ther.

Bottoni CR, Franks BR, Moore JH, DeBerardino TM, Taylor DC, Arciero RA. GHJ instability can be categorised by the direction of instability, the chronicity, and the etiology. Allow the affected leg to lower without rotating, Patient is seated, with their hips flexed 90 ° and their knees together, Therapist places both hands on the lateral side of the knees , holding them together, Patient attempts to move their knees apart while the therapist resists, Patient is prone with their knees close together, Slowly separate the lower legs away from the midline, while keeping the knees together (the internal rotation of the femur stretches both piriformis muscles), The normal internal rotation would be (45°-50°) from the midline, Therapist brings affected hip into flexion, Therapist places one hand on the patient’s ASIS on the affected side, and therapist other hand on the ischial tuberosity on the same side, Therapist attempts to posteriorly rotate the patient’s affected pelvis, Therapist applies a lateral and inferior pressure to the medial sides of the patient’s Anterior Superior Iliac Spines. Diagnostic tests for posterior instability include: the Posterior Apprehension/Stress Test, the Jerk Test, the Kim Test, the Load-and-Shift, and Posterior Drawer Test. Anterior shoulder instability - a history of arthroscopic treatment. Rehabilitative treatment of PSI includes strengthening of the rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis) [4] [9] [23] most importantly the infraspinatus muscle. Multidirectional instability is defined as “involuntary symptomatic shoulder laxity in more than one direction”. Patient keeps the head lifted off the table (Grade 3). Available from: Web MD. Pain or excessive anterior motion of the tibia, and disappearance of the infrapatellar tendon slope. Positive Sign: Positive Sign: Positive Sign: pain local to the lesion site or radiating pain in a dermatomal pattern. Patient keeps the position against gravity (Grade 3). The West Point view is obtained in a similar prone position, with the shoulder abducted to 90° and the elbow bent with the arm hanging off the table. One case (3.2%) of patellar instability recurrence and 3 cases (6.5%) with painful hardware were observed. One palm on the clavicle, the other hand on the scapula.

A Q angle that is greater than normal allows the patella to track laterally, stressing the lateral facets which is associated with patellar tracking dysfunction, chondromalacia patellae and patellar subluxation. Positive Sign: The anterior apprehension test performed 6 to 9 weeks after a first traumatic dislocation is not a definitive tool to predict risk for recurrent dislocation. Managing posterior shoulder instability result-oriented techniques. Purpose of Test: To assess for anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint capsule. To test whether the patella is likely to dislocate laterally. Click or Catch in the extension of the knee. Otherwise: In cases of recurrent subluxation, posterior-soft tissue stabilization is often performed. Patients without psychological problems usually respond well to a trial of physical therapy that includes pain management, activity modification, and strengthening of the scapulothoracic and rotator cuff muscles.
