Anatomy & Bones
Name the three bones that make up the shoulder complex
Clavicle, Scapula, Humerus
What does the acronym S.I.T.S. stand for?
Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, Subscapularis
What does "FOOSH" stand for?
Fall On Outstretched Hand
This test requires the patient to "empty a soda can" to check for a tear.
Empty Can
$100: This initial treatment acronym stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation
R.I.C.E
This functional joint involves the movement of the scapula on the thoracic cage
Scapulothoracic Joint
This muscle is responsible for the first 15-30 degrees of abduction
Supraspinatus
A step down deformity is a classic sign of this injury
AC Joint Sprain/Separation
If a patient looks like they are in pain during external rotation, they are positive for this test
Apprehension Test
This piece of equipment is used to immobilize the shoulder after a fracture or dislocation
A sling
This ligament anchors the clavicle downward toward the sternum
Costoclavicular Ligament
This is the only rotator cuff muscle located on the anterior side of the scapula
Subscapularis
This injury occurs when tendons are pinched under the acromion
Impingement Syndrome
What does the "O" stand for in the HOP evaluation method
Observation
This type of muscle contraction, where the muscle lengthens under tension, is used to rehab the rotator cuff
Eccentric Contraction
List the 4 joints of the shoulder
glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and scapulothoracic joints
These two muscles are primarily responsible for external rotation
Infraspinatus and Teres Minor
A flattened deltoid contour usually indicates this acute emergency
Glenohumeral Dislocation
During palpation, what are you feeling for if you suspect crepitus?
Grinding, crunching, or clicking sensations
These specific exercises are used early in rehab to restore range of motion without straining the muscles
Codman’s Exercises
Identify the specific landmark where the humerus sits in the scapula
Glenoid Fossa
Describe the action of the rotator cuff as a whole
Stabilizing the humeral head in the glenoid fossa
Chronic overhead movement often irritates this specific tendon in the bicipital groove
Long head of the Biceps
Perform a physical demonstration: Show the Hawkins-Kennedy test for impingement
Arm at 90/90, forced internal rotation
For a Grade 3 SC Joint sprain or a complete Rotator Cuff tear, this medical intervention is often the only way to fully repair the tissue
