Structure
GLENOHUMERAL JOINT
• Ball and socket joint.
• Stability sacrificed for mobility.
MUSCULAR CONTROL
• Rotator Cuff muscles
• Scapular and trunk muscles
![Page 5: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Biomechanics: Arm Elevation
• 0-90 degrees
• Primarily arm (ie:humerus) movement
• Little movement in shoulder blade (scapula)
• Above 90 degrees
• To allow normal movement and prevent impingement of rotator cuff
tendons the shoulder blade MUST
o Rotate up
o Glide along rib cage

Low Tone Shoulder
• Most common in initial stages following stroke.
• Results from damage to the motor pathways innervating the upper limb muscles.
• Low tone shoulders are highly susceptible to damage of the structures surrounding the shoulder (muscles, tendons, ligaments).
• Preventing subluxation is crucial in the early stages of stroke recovery- critical role for all team members
![Page 7: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Low Tone Shoulder
• Pathoanatomy of Subluxed Shoulder
• Flaccid or low tone muscles at shoulder and trunk lead to altered alignment of scapula and humerus.
• Stabilizing muscles not present
• Muscles overstretch due to weight of arm in dependent position.
• Inferior subluxation is most common
![Page 8: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Shoulder Subluxation
• Consequences of shoulder subluxation:
• Irreversible stretching of ligaments, tendons and capsule leading to instability at the joint.
• Structural changes hamper recovery of muscle activity in shoulder complex.
• Injury to brachial plexus.
• Chronic shoulder pain.

Shoulder Subluxation

Management of Low Tone Shoulder
• Positioning
• Support low tone arm at all times:
o Use pillows, slings, lap trays
o Slings should be worn during transfers or ambulation
only. They should be removed during sitting or in bed.
o In sitting, position shoulder in slight flexion, abduction
and external rotation; forearm in pronation and hand
in open weightbearing position.
o Pay attention to position of pelvis and trunk
alignment when sitting.

Rolling to Hemiplegic Side
![Page 14: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lying On Hemiplegic Side
![Page 15: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rolling to Unaffected Side
![Page 16: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Lying on Unaffected Side
![Page 17: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Management of the Low Tone Shoulder• Handling…Be Gentle!!
o Avoid lifting through underarm or pulling on arm to move patient. Instead grasp upper trunk near scapula to move the person.
o Bed mobility: Hemi-arm out of way when rolling onto affected side.
No pulling on hemi-arm when rolling onto unaffected side.
o Support both the humerus and hand when moving the affected limb to position or dress patient.
o Do not move arm beyond 90 degrees elevation.
o Dressing Rule for hemiplegia: “First on; last off”.
• NOTE: Shoulder pain occurs more frequently
in patients who are dependent for transfers.

The Hemiplegic Arm Protocol
Hemiplegic Shoulder Best Practice Positioning And
Handling Protocol
![Page 19: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Objective
The hemiplegic upper extremity will be protected
from injury by being properly handled during
mobility and transfers and properly positioned in
bed or wheelchair, according to the positioning
protocol diagrams for all patients meeting the
criteria for the protocol.
![Page 20: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Inclusion Criteria
• Hemiplegic arm is flaccid.
• And/or patient is unable to lift arm off bed to 90°.
• And/or the arm is painful.
![Page 21: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Procedure
• OT/PT assesses patients for protocol inclusion
criteria
• All disciplines adhere to implementation of the
protocol
• Patients meeting criteria will receive:
• A hemi sling at bedside
• Hemi sling application directions posted at bedside
![Page 22: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
High Tone Upper Limb
Frequently occurs later post stroke. Natural recovery may include high tone as a temporary phase or a permanent consequence. Good early management of possible severe long term consequences is important.
High muscle tone or spasticity:
• increased state of excitability of muscle stretch reflexes.
• Speed and position dependent.
• Stiffness, spasms
![Page 23: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
High Tone Upper Limb
Consequences of high tone:• Impaired skin care (axilla and hand)• Impaired ADLs (dressing)• Impaired range of motion: permanent contracture • Shoulder pain
![Page 24: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
High Tone Upper Limb
• “Flexor Pattern”
![Page 25: Power Point for staff education sessions Presented by](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020707/61fd5d3b9bbc2b4d9054b92e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Management of the High Tone
Upper Limb
• Positioning
• Promote position that is opposite to flexor pattern
• Position for extended periods of time (up to 1 hour or
more) to promote lengthening of the tight muscles
• Use pillows, airsplints, thermoplastic splints or casting
as required
• Consider a referral to the Spasticity Management Clinic:
a team of a Physiatrist, RN, and OT/PT can facilitate
pharmaceutical (BOTOX) treatment, splinting etc.

Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain
• Incidence of Shoulder Pain
• Up to 1/3 of adult stroke patients within the first year
• Signs and Symptoms
• Pain located in shoulder, may radiate down arm.
• Pain worse with movement especially external rotation, abduction and flexion of GH joint.
• Pain may be present constantly and interfere
with sleep.
