Imaging
What is an x-ray?
This imaging method produces a 2D black and white image.
Amanda's pain is worst at this time.
nighttime and after training
This is the clicking, popping, or grinding sound in the shoulder. It is a common and expected feature of rotator cuff tendinopathy. It occurs when inflamed, swollen tendons or thickened bursa rub unevenly against the bone or surrounding structures during movement.
What is crepitus?
This landmark is where all the rotator cuff muscles attach too.
What is the greater tubercle?
This test assesses flexion (show us).
What is flexion?
What is an MRI?
This imaging method uses powerful magnet and radio frequencies to produce a 3D image of organs and overall structures in the body.
Pain is located here in an individual with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
the side or front of the shoulder
During the Painful Arc test, pain between —- degrees and —-- degrees indicates supraspinatus pain.
60˚ and 120˚?
This is the largest and strongest muscle of the rotator cuff muscles.
What is subscapularis?
This movement test has a different active and passive angle (show us).
What is abduction?
What is an ultrasound method
This imaging method uses high frequency sound waves and catches bouncing echoes to produce real-time, moving pictures inside of the body.
These movements are especially painful to do.
What is lifting upwards/downwards or rotating?
Weakness in this muscle leads to an inability to lift the hand away from the lower back during the lift off test.
What is the subscapularis?
This landmark is found 2 centimeters below the lateral third of the clavicle.
What is the coracoid process?
This test assesses shoulder range of motion by having the patient reach behind their head and behind their back (show us).
What is the Apley scratch test?
This substance produces the lightest colour on an X-Ray.
Metal
These are symptoms of loss of strength.
What are fatigue and weakness when lifting or pushing?
These muscles experience pain during the external rotation resistance test.
What is the infraspinatus and teres minor?
This joint is the first joint that you should palpate in the palpation process.
What is sternoclavicular joint?
These are the three commonly used clinical tests for shoulder impingement (show us).
What are the Neer test, Hawkins-Kennedy test, and painful arc test?
What is an arthrogram?
This imaging method involves injecting a contrast dye to highlight soft tissues on X-Rays, CT scans and MRIs. It is used when simple X-Rays are not enough to diagnose or visualise the problem.
These sounds can potentially be heard when you move your arm upwards.
What are clicking, snapping, or grinding sound?
Someone with rotator cuff tendinopathy will react like this to the drop test.
What is holding arm up at 90˚? (Resistance causes pain, the patient can still hold their arm up when placed at 90°. If the arm drops uncontrollably, it strongly points toward a rotator cuff tear rather than tendinopathy.)
This is the tubercle that is more prominent when the shoulder is rotated externally.
What is lesser tubercle?
In this test, the patient places their hand behind their lower back and attempts to lift it away. It primarily assesses the subscapularis muscle.
What is the lift-off test?
