Neurovascular Anatomy

![Page 38: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Vascular Supply
![Page 40: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Bursae
• Subacromial bursa• Sits superior to rotator
cuff tendons in subacromial space
• Reduces friction from movement of overlying deltoid
• Provides protection against inferior surface of acromion process
![Page 41: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Rotator Cuff Muscle Activity
• During shoulder (GH) abduction:– At ~70 degrees, humeral head depressed by
infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis to allow humeral head to clear acromion process
– At ~115 degrees, humeral head externally rotated by infraspinatus and teres minor to clear greater tuberosity of humerus under acromial arch
![Page 42: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Scapulothoracic Rhythym
• During first 30 degrees of GH abduction, scapular is “setting” – may have slight upward rotation
• From 30-180 degrees, for every 2 degrees of GH motion is 1 degree of scapular motion (rotation)
• During first 90 degrees, scapula rotates with SC joint as pivot point
• During last 90 degrees, scapula rotates with AC joint as pivot point– Conoid portion of coracoclavicular ligament becomes taut
and produces posterior rotation of clavicle allowing for more AC and scapular motion
![Page 43: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Location of Pain
• Localized pain in shoulder typically associated with localized injury
• Pain radiating proximally and/or distally increases likelihood of neurological involvement
![Page 44: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Onset of Symptoms
• Acute onset– Fracture, GH subluxation or dislocation, AC sprain
• Chronic/insidious onset– Inflammatory conditions (tendonitis, bursitis)– Pain after activity first, then during, and finally at
all times
![Page 45: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mechanism of Injury
• Direct trauma or forces– Acute soft tissue and/or bony injury
• Repetitive overhead movements (throwing, swimming, tennis)– Overuse syndromes, inflammatory conditions,
impingement syndromes
![Page 46: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Current Symptoms
• Unusual sounds or sensations
• Quantity and quality of pain, aggravating and alleviating factors
• Radiating pain – neurological involvement
• Dysfunction and/or decreased performance

History of Previous Injury
• Previous cervical spine injury can predispose individual to shoulder injury from neurological compromise (weakness)
• Prior AC or GH injury can affect shoulder biomechanics and thereby increase the risk of overuse conditions/muscle imbalances
![Page 48: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
General Postural Assessment
• Head– Lateral flexion or rotation may indicate muscle
spasm and/or cervical nerve root injury• Upper extremity– Splinted to side of body/rib cage– Forearm supported– “limp arm” from brachial plexus injury– Deformity from GH dislocation

Posterior Structures
• Vertebral alignment - scoliosis• Scapular position symmetry– Superior angle at T2 spinous process, inferior angle at T7
spinous process– “winging” scapula

Scapular Ranges of Motion
![Page 61: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Apley’s Scratch Tests
• Touch opposite shoulder in front– Adduction, horizontal adduction, internal rotation,
scapular protraction
• Touch opposite shoulder in back– Abduction, external rotation, scapular protraction,
elevation and upward rotation
• Touch opposite scapula from behind– Adduction, internal rotation, scapular retraction and
downward rotation

Passive Ranges of Motion
• Critical to stabilize proximal segment in order to accurately assess end feel – patient positioning
• Flexion and extension – firm end feel• Abduction – firm end feel (GH and total)• Adduction – not typically assessed• ER/IR – firm end feels• Horizontal abduction/adduction – firm end feels
unless soft tissue obstructs adduction

Resisted Ranges of Motion
• Must stabilize proximal segment to isolate movement and/or muscle/s
• Graded on 0-5 scale – keep in mind effects of gravity, especially in presence of significant weakness

Gerber Lift-Off Test
• Humerus internally rotated and dorsal aspect of hand placed against back
• Positive test for subscapularis weakness if unable to lift hand off spine
![Page 65: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Scapular Winging
• Perform “push-up” against wall
• Positive test for serratus anterior weakness and/or long thoracic nerve injury if vertebral (medial) border of scapula lifts off thorax
![Page 66: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Neurological Evaluation
• Brachial plexus dermatomes and myotomes• Sensory and motor tests for terminal branches
of brachial plexus– Axillary, radial, median, ulnar, musculocutaneous
• Awareness of innervation of muscles acting on scapula and humerus
![Page 67: Kin 191 B – Shoulder Anatomy And Evaluation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54b7ebcf4a79596e108b45b1/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Vascular Evaluation
• Axillary pulse can sometimes be palpable in axilla
• Brachial pulse felt along medial shaft of humerus or in cubital fossa near biceps tendon
• Radial pulse is most common evaluation site

Ligamentous/Capsular Testing
• To be discussed in detail with specific shoulder pathologies
