  • Rotator Cuff and Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: Anatomy, Etiology, Screening, and Treatment
    Rotator Cuff and Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: Anatomy, Etiology, Screening, and Treatment The glenohumeral joint is the most mobile joint in the human body, but this same characteristic also makes it the least stable joint.1-3 The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that are important in supporting the glenohumeral joint, essential in almost every type of shoulder movement.4 These muscles maintain dynamic joint stability which not only avoids mechanical obstruction but also increases the functional range of motion at the joint.1,2 However, dysfunction of these stabilizers often leads to a complex pattern of degeneration, rotator cuff tear arthropathy that often involves subacromial impingement.2,22 Rotator cuff tear arthropathy is strikingly prevalent and is the most common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction.3,4 It appears to be age-dependent, affecting 9.7% of patients aged 20 years and younger and increasing to 62% of patients of 80 years and older ( P < .001); odds ratio, 15; 95% CI, 9.6-24; P < .001.4 Etiology for rotator cuff pathology varies but rotator cuff tears and tendinopathy are most common in athletes and the elderly.12 It can be the result of a traumatic event or activity-based deterioration such as from excessive use of arms overhead, but some argue that deterioration of these stabilizers is part of the natural aging process given the trend of increased deterioration even in individuals who do not regularly perform overhead activities.2,4 The factors affecting the rotator cuff and subsequent treatment are wide-ranging. The major objectives of this exposition are to describe rotator cuff anatomy, biomechanics, and subacromial impingement; expound upon diagnosis and assessment; and discuss surgical and conservative interventions.

  • Shoulder Pain
    Health News from Ponte Vedra Wellness Center Family Chiropractic Care in Ponte Vedra Beach & Nocatee Town Center Dr. Erika Hamer, DC, DIBCN, DIBE CHIROPRACTIC FROM HEAD TO TOE – SHOULDER PAIN he shoulder is a very unique and complex joint. It is the only articulation in the body whose stability is granted primarily by muscular balance instead of being held Ttogether by the integrity of its ligaments. Have you ever heard of the ROTATOR CUFF? This is the collection of four shoulder muscles that help perform this function: namely the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus, the teres minor and subscapularis. In addition, there are multiple bones that come togeth- er to make up the shoulder joint: the humerus (upper arm), the scapula (the shoulder blade) and the clavicle (the collar bone). Therefore, problems with the align- ment of any of these bones will directly aff ect shoulder function, potentially leading to dysfunction and painful symptoms in this joint. Finally, many nerves lead to the shoulder, infl uencing motor control of the shoulder and providing sensory feedback from the shoulder to the brain. The main source of these nerves is the cervical spine (the neck). How Chiropractic Helps Shoulders So, how can your chiropractor help when you have a shoulder problem? Just like every other joint in the body, the shoulder works best when all its moving parts are in proper alignment. As you will discover below, the most important factor contributing to the proper function of the shoulder is the alignment of your spine, with each major area of the spine contributing in a signifi cant way to the health of your shoulder.

Gradinger, Munich R. Graf, Stolzalpe J. Grifka, Bad Abbach A. Meurer, Friedrichsheim Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder Abstract Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder is a process involving crystal calcium deposition in the rotator cuff tendons, which mainly affects patients between 30 and 50 years of age. The etiology is still a matter of dispute. The diagnosis is made by history and physical examination with specific attention to radiologic and sonographic evidence of calcific deposits. Patients usually describe specific radiation of the pain to the lateral proximal forearm, with tenderness even at rest and during the night. Nonoperative management including rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, subacromial corticosteroid injections, and shock wave therapy is still the treatment of choice. Nonoperative treatment is successful in up to 90 % of patients. When nonsurgical measures fail, surgical removal of the calcific deposit may be indicated. Arthroscopic treatment provides excellent results in more than 90 % of patients. The recovery process is very time consuming and may take up to several months in some cases.

  • WCAT Decision 2005-02580
    WCAT Decision Number: WCAT-2005-02580 NOTEWORTHY DECISION SUMMARY Decision: WCAT-2005-02580 Panel: Joanne Kembel Decision Date: May 19, 2005 Pre-existing Conditions – Shoulder Dislocation – Wage Loss Benefits – Section 29(1) of the Workers Compensation Act – Section 30(1) of the Act – Policy Item #15.60 of the Rehabilitation Services and Claims Manual, Volume II (RSCM II) This case is noteworthy as an example of the application of those portions of policy item #15.60 of the Rehabilitation Services and Claims Manual, Volume II (RSCM II) which provide rules for the payment of benefits in shoulder dislocation claims where the worker has previously experienced a non-compensable shoulder dislocation. Item #15.60 of the RSCM II provides that if a worker has a prior non-compensable shoulder dislocation and suffers another dislocation at work, the later dislocation will only be compensable if there was a work incident of “sufficient causative significance to induce the further dislocation”. Once the claim is accepted the policy provides rules in respect of the payment of benefits. The policy provides, firstly, that temporary wage loss benefits will “normally endure no more than two weeks,” and secondly, that any surgery, after the injury, which is directed at repairing damage from the prior dislocation will not be compensable except in cases where: a) the shoulder has been stable for many years prior to the dislocation at work, or b) the dislocation at work was induced by “severe trauma.” In this case, the worker dislocated his left shoulder. The worker had a long history of left shoulder dislocations, and had surgery on his left shoulder three years earlier.

    Littlewood et al. Pilot and Feasibility Studies (2021) 7:17 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-020-00714-x STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Protocol for a multi-site pilot and feasibility randomised controlled trial: Surgery versus PhysiothErapist-leD exercise for traumatic tears of the rotator cuff (the SPeEDy study) Chris Littlewood1,2* , Julia Wade3, Stephanie Butler-Walley1,4, Martyn Lewis1,4, David Beard5, Amar Rangan5,6, Gev Bhabra7, Socrates Kalogrianitis8, Cormac Kelly9, Saurabh Mehta10, Harvinder Pal Singh11, Matthew Smith12, Amol Tambe13, James Tyler14 and Nadine E. Foster1 Abstract Background: Clinically, a distinction is made between types of rotator cuff tear, traumatic and non-traumatic, and this sub-classification currently informs the treatment pathway. It is currently recommended that patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears are fast tracked for surgical opinion. However, there is uncertainty about the most clinically and cost-effective intervention for patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears and further research is required. SPeEDy will assess the feasibility of a fully powered, multi-centre randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test the hypothesis that, compared to surgical repair (and usual post-operative rehabilitation), a programme of physiotherapist-led exercise is not clinically inferior, but is more cost-effective for patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears. Methods: SPeEDy is a two-arm, multi-centre pilot and feasibility RCT with integrated Quintet Recruitment Intervention (QRI) and further qualitative investigation of patient experience. A total of 76 patients with traumatic rotator cuff tears will be recruited from approximately eight UK NHS hospitals and randomly allocated to either surgical repair and usual post-operative rehabilitation or a programme of physiotherapist-led exercise.

  • Shoulder Instability Anatomy
    Shoulder Instability The shoulder is your body’s most flexible joint. It is designed to let the arm move in almost any direction. But this flexibility has a price, making the joint prone to injury. The shoulder is made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. They work together so you can comfortably reach, swing, lift, and throw a ball. Learning about the parts of the shoulder will help you understand your shoulder problem. Anatomy Bones provide the foundation of the shoulder joint. The bones fit together in a way that allows the arm to move freely. • The humeral head is the ball at the top of the humerus (arm bone). • The glenoid is the shallow socket located on the scapula (shoulder blade). • The labrum is a ring of cartilage around the rim of the glenoid. Important ligaments attach to the labrum and connect to the humerus. The labrum and these ligaments provide stability to the shoulder joint. • The coracoid and acromion are two other parts of the scapula. Muscles attach on these structures. • The clavicle is the collar bone. The clavicle connects to the acromion, forming the acromioclavicular (AC) joint. Soft tissues include muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These connect the shoulder bones together, provide stability, and movement to the joint. • The capsule is a sheet of tough fibers that encloses the joint. The glenohumeralligaments are thickened parts of the Capsule capsule that connect the humerus to the labrum. The labrum is firmly attached to the rim of the glenoid. The capsule, ligaments, and labrum provide most of the stability to the shoulder joint.
