Glenohumeral joint

Frozen shoulder is a clinical syndrome of pain and severely decreased joint motion caused by thick-ening and contraction of the joint capsule. The peak incidence is between middle aged people. In Ayurved, the symptoms, etiopathogenesis resembles with Avabahuka. It is a disease characterized by morbid vata dosha localizing around the shoulder joint and thereby causing loss or dryness of shleshaka kapha as well as constricts the siras at this site leads to loss of movements of the arm.

While the impingement could be related to overuse, overhead positions and even degenerative changes of the acromial structure, impingement can also result from muscle imbalance which leads to glenohumeral akinesia and scapular mal-positioning with poor posture (Budoff and Hammond, 1998; Lukasiewicz et al., 1999). Sports activities involving heavy training in overhead positions, or 90° abduction or more also cause the excessive compression of the…

often detected when the patient is given the Hawkins-Kennedy and Neer impingement tests. This impingement disorder mostly stems from athletes and individuals whose jobs require constant overhead lifting, but can also be the result of an unstable glenohumeral joint caused by aging or tendon pathologies. Because there are multiple causes of rotator cuff impingement, it is classified into two categories; primary and secondary. Furthermore, rotator cuff impingement is categorized into three…

five months. However, the pain returned and is a 5/10. Gary has been taking ibuprofen which hasn’t helped and using ice for some relief. There are several possible causes for Gary’s shoulder pain. For example, Gary could have Adhesive Capsulitis, Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis, Bicep Tendonitis, Suprascapular Neuropathy and Cervical Radiculopathy. Each of these pathologies will be discussed and either ruled in or out throughout this paper. The first pathology that will be discussed is Adhesive…

she was initially diagnosed with right shoulder strain. Per the PT note dated 08/12/16, the IW has attended 12 sessions MRI of the right upper extremity obtained in 09/07/16 showed moderate rotator cuff tendinosis with marked acromioclavicular joint degenerative change without full thickness tear or retraction. Minimal superior labral fraying is seen. Based on the progress report dated 09/20/16 by Dr. Lo, the patient had on and off right shoulder pain that is about 8/10. She has done…

musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tears, and glenohumeral instability (Ebaugh, McClure, & Karduna, 2006). It is important to investigate the effects of fatigue on individual shoulder muscles to further understand their role in shoulder injuries. This could help prevent future shoulder…

• Edema, which is the cumulative of fluid, occur in the synovium due to the underlying inflammation of the synovium. • The joint spaces between the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) will be narrowing and the soft tissues will be swelling due to the joint effusion, synovitis and the edema. • The dominant hand will usually resulting more joint destruction. • Patient will also suffering for tendon ruptures due to the rubbing against eroded bone. • Inflammation occur…

progress in four phases.9-10 Initially, the repair and tendon need to be protected.9-10 This generally involves immobilizing the joint in a sling for 4-6 weeks after surgery.9-10 The length of time the joint is immobilized depends on what type of surgery was performed. 9-10 During phase I the patient will be introduced to prophylactic active motion at the elbow, wrist, and hand joints.10 Some typical exercises a patient will perform include isolated scapular depression, protraction, and…

I Anatomy of the shoulder The shoulder joint, as it is commonly called, is not a single joint but a complex arrangement of bones, ligaments and musculotendinous units that called the shoulder girdle. The primary role of the shoulder girdle is to provide a tremendous range of motion for positioning the upper extremity in space. The shoulder girdle also provides power and support for the upper extremity throughout and at the extremes of the range of motion. (19) The…
