MOVE: Active – Passive - Resisted
• Active followed by passive with slight overpressure to assess pain and end feel
• 6 Planes of Motion: Forward Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, External Rotation, Internal Rotation
• Forward Flexion 1800
• Abduction 1800 (to ear without head tilt)• Internal Rotation – Thumb at T3 to T7• External Rotation – 450 to 900
• Resisted tests overlap with special tests

Scapulothoracic Movement
• Observe active forward flexion and abduction from behind patient
• Watch for scapular winging on descent• Dysfunction common with rotator cuff tears and
instability• Wall push up – for more pronounced winging seen
with LTN injury (serratus anterior palsy)
![Page 24: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Rotator Cuff: Anatomy
![Page 28: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rotator Cuff: History
• Pain often in deltoid area• Pain with overhead activity• Achy pain, present at night• Mechanism: For tendinopathy/partial tears often insidious onset• For acute tears fall on outstretched arm or other trauma (ex:
dislocation) • Age greater than 60 and night pain often indicates rotator cuff
tear (88% sensitivity but only 20% specificity)
![Page 29: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Rotator Cuff: Physical ExamSupraspinatus:
• Empty can (Jobe’s) – (sensitivity 89% if pain and weakness; specificity 50%, for tear)
• Full can (less painful therefore stronger predictor of tear if positive for weakness)
• Drop Arm Test – positive test (LR + 3.3) might help identify RCD
![Page 30: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Empty Can (Jobe’s)
Patient resists abduction in the plane of the scapula
![Page 31: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rotator Cuff: Physical Exam
Infraspinatus:
• Resisted ER weakness or pain (LR+ 2.6; LR- 0.49)• ER lag sign -(sensitivity 68% ; specificity 100% for full tear)
-(LR+ 7.2 ; LR- 0.57)

Rotator Cuff: Physical Exam
Subscapularis:
• resisted IR (lift-off) weakness/pain • IR lag sign – (sensitivity 62% ; specificity 100% for tear)
- (LR+ 5.6; LR- 0.04)
Combine Strength and Pain ProvocationTests• If all 3 tests are positive: Hawkins/Neer (impingement tests) +
supraspinatus weakness (full can test) + weakness in ER = 98% chance of RC tear
• Age > 60 yrs, if any 2 tests positive = 98% chance of RC tear

Subscapularis: Lift-off and IR Lag Sign
Patient pushes back
![Page 34: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Impingement Syndrome
• Mechanism:Rotator cuff tendons get impinged between coracoacromial arch and the humerus on abduction
• Multiple etiologies: osteophyte, inflamed/injured tendon, inflamed bursa, poor scapular stabilisation…
• Supraspinatus most commonly involved
![Page 35: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Impingement Syndrome: History
• Associated with underlying condition• Pain with overhead activity, sometimes describe catching of
shoulder• In younger patients most often associated with instability, in
older patients with osteoarthritis• Athletes in overhead sports or patients who do a lot of overhead
work are most at risk
![Page 36: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Impingement: Physical Exam
PAIN Provocation Tests
• Painful Arc (positive has LR+ 3.7, normal has LR- 0.36)• Hawkins (sensitivity 60-90% specificity 25 -70%)• Neers sign (sensitivity 88% specificity 30%)• Neers Impingement test: inject 5-10 ml xylocaine in subacromial
space then repeat impingement signs
![Page 37: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Practice
• Rotator Cuff:– Supraspinatus: empty can, full can, drop arm– Infraspinatus: resisted ER, ER lag– Subscapularis: lift-off, IR lag
• Impingement:– Neer’s– Hawkin’s– Painful arc
![Page 39: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Biceps: Anatomy
• Origin of long head on superior glenoid and short head on corocoid process; both insert on radial tubercle
• Flexion and supination of elbow• Long head tendon travels under the RC
tendons through the biceps groove
![Page 40: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Biceps: History
• Pain front of shoulder• Long Head tendinosis 95% associated with RCT , Impingement
or SLAP• Acute injuries:
– Proximal tears of long head common in elderly = “popeye” muscle, may not have dramatic injury
– Distal tears – usually more dramatic, forced straightening of elbow with biceps loaded

Proximal– Speed’s – Yergason’s
Distal– Hook (100% no cord-like structure for complete distal tear;
75% just painful if partial)
• AC joint: – Scarf– palpation

Glenohumeral Joint: History
• Osteoarthritis– Gradual onset– Age: 50 and older– Morning Stiffness– Better with moderate activity
• Other causes of a stiff shoulder: Injury (post-traumatic after fracture, dislocation etc), surgery (post-operative rotator cuff repair)
![Page 52: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Glenohumeral Joint: Physical Exam
• Painful with active ROMs at end ranges
• Decrease in ALL passive ROM (starts with ER > ABD/IR) and ALL active ROM
• Resisted ROM not painful in mid range position and full strength
• With OA may have crepitus

![Page 54: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Laxity/Instability: History
Laxity: • clinically loose shoulder, often increased ROM (these patients
do well in sports where this is an advantage such as swimming); predisposed to RCD
Instability: • may report episode of subluxations or “dead arm” followed by a
few days of pain • actual episodes of dislocation often requiring ER visits, can
become more and more frequent with less and less trauma
![Page 55: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Instability – 2 types
A – Atraumatic congenital/acquired (microtrauma)M – Multdirectional laxity or instabilityB - frequently BilateralR - responds to RehabilitationI - rarely requires an Inferior capsular
shift surgery
T – TraumaticU – UnilateralB – Bankart lesionS – usually requires Surgery

Case 1
Bob is a 50 yo RHD accountant who plays beer-league softball. Over the last 2 months he has noticed increasing pain in his right shoulder, especially with throwing. This started after a particularly hard throw to first base. He is now having to sit out a few innings in order to get through a game. He feels the pain mostly in his right deltoid.
![Page 72: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
From history alone, what is the grade of this injury?
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
![Page 73: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Grades of Overuse Injury
• Grade 1: No pain with activity, but discomfort afterward (either immediately or during the evening or the following day)
• Grade 2: Some pain during activity but does not yet interfere with performance
• Grade 3: Pain with activity that interferes with performance • Grade 4: Pain so intense that activity cannot be performed at all
![Page 74: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Why Grade the Injury?
• Grade based on the symptoms and impact on the participant’s performance
• This grading helps guide the treatment and rehabilitation process and return-to-play
• Grade 1 injuries – often can still train• Grade 2 -3 – need relative rest (25 -75% decrease)• Grade 4- often complete rest of injured part
![Page 75: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Exam
• Pain with empty can test • Painful arc• Pain with Hawkin’s and Neer’s
• What is the most likely diagnosis?
![Page 76: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Rotator cuff injuries
• Most common shoulder pathology
• Non-specific symptoms
• Range from mild tendinopathy to chronic/acute tears
• Age greater than 60 and night pain often indicates rotator cuff tear (88% sensitivity but only 20% specificity)
![Page 77: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
“Tendinopathy”
• Examination of affected tendons show absence of neutrophils, lymphocytes or plasma cells as expected in acute and chronic inflammation
• Hence the shift in terminology toward using “tendinopathy” as the diagnosis or “rotator cuff disease”
• Changes in tissue collagen content and ground substance during middle age predispose these tendons to injury when they are repeatedly stressed. There is increased occurrence in 30-50 year age group.
• The purpose of treatment is to up-regulate protein (collagen in particular) production in the tenocytes and there are many ways to do this.

Imaging for Rotator Cuff
• No good correlation between structural pathology of the rotator cuff (seen on MRI imaging) and clinical symptoms and functional loss
• >50% of asymptomatic patients over 60 have RC tear, 1/3 of patients 40-60
• Correlation with Clinical Findings!
![Page 85: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Rotator Cuff Tears
• Structural overlap between all 4 RC tendons = challenge in diagnosis from physical exam
• Lack of correlation between size of tendon tears (seen on imaging)
and symptoms
• Absence of inflammatory cells and extent of degeneration in larger tears suggests that they may never heal…yet patients get clinically better…
![Page 86: The Shoulder: Complex Joint Simplified 51 st OCFP ASA November 30 th, 2013 Marie-Josée Klett, MD CCFP Dip Sport Med Louise Walker, MD CCFP FCFP Dip Sport](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103122/56649cf55503460f949c4261/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Ultrasound of Shoulder
• Especially useful to evaluate rotator cuff tears and subacromial bursitis
• More specific for full-thickness tear, 88-100% than partial thickness tear, 68-99%
• Better than MRI to assess for microscopic calcifications• Not useful for glenohumeral joint evaluation• Not much different than xray for AC joint• Technician and radiologist expertise dependent.

MRI of Shoulder Rotator Cuff Tears
• For rotator cuff tears they are quite sensitive and specific, over 90% but like ultrasound are less accurate for partial thickness tears
• Provides information on rotator cuff muscle atrophy and fatty
infiltration as well as other pathology
• More expensive modality

RC Tendinopathy - Management
• Avoidance of aggravating activity with cross training to keep up fitness. Rowing machine or cycling may be fine. Avoid overhead use in ADLs
• Consider x-ray• Physiotherapy (level B evidence) or home exercises• Analgesia – oral NSAID ( A), acetaminophen (I), ice (I)• Consider subacromial corticosteroid injection if not responding…but
intramuscular steroid may be just as effective ( level B)• Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) if calcific tendinopathy
(level A)

Rotator Cuff Tear - Management
• Ultrasound • For partial thickness tears: treatment same as tendinopathy• For full-thickness tears decision making for surgical candidates
based on symptoms, age, duration, size• Consider surgical referral if
– symptoms persist beyond 3 months of conservative treatment
– age <50 – acute tear – size 1.5 to 5 cm (level B evidence) – size >5cm (level C evidence)
• Consider MRI before surgical referral

Case 3
A 26 year old RHD university drama student has an 8 year history of her left shoulder “popping out”. She never had any acute trauma. It started initially when doing a behind her back type of stretching. With these episodes her arm goes temporarily numb (“dead arm”) and there is shoulder pain that can last a few hours to a few days. The same thing started recently in the right arm while trying to take a self portrait picture with her arm stretched out to the front. This prompted her to come for advice since she is afraid it may affect her drama career. She has not had any treatment to date.

Management Type 1
• Return when ROM is full and pain free; full strength to protect themselves and be effective in their sport; test ability to do a push up in your office
• As little as 14 days and as much as 6 weeks
• Custom padding (or shoulder pads) can be worn but cannot prevent further A-C injury from the `ice hockey mechanism‘
• Permanent bump probable
