Lesson 1Palpation, special considerations fi night pain, sleep positions, an load-related symptom patternsDis section cover targeted palpation a di rotator cuff an bursa, readin tenderness patterns, an how night pain, sleep position, an load-related symptom behaviour help tell subacromial pain from other shoulder an cervical conditions.
Palpation of supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendonsIdentifying subacromial bursal tendernessInterpreting night pain and sleep disturbanceAdvising shoulder-friendly sleep positionsLoad-response patterns in daily and sport tasksLesson 2Range a motion an scapular kinematics assessment: active vs passive ROM, scapular upward rotation, posterior tilt, an protraction testsDis section explain how fi check active an passive shoulder range a motion an scapular kinematics, includin upward rotation, posterior tilt, an protraction, an how fi link movement findins to pain, function, an exercise plannin.
Measuring active and passive glenohumeral ROMIdentifying painful versus restricted end rangesObserving scapular upward rotation and timingAssessing scapular posterior tilt and protractionLinking movement findings to exercise selectionLesson 3Assessin psychosocial factors an fear-avoidance: brief screenin tools an interviewin strategiesDis section tackle psychosocial tings weh contribute to shoulder pain, like fear-avoidance, catastrophizin, an low mood, an describe quick screenin tools an interview strategies fi mix dese factors inna assessment an treatment plannin.
Recognizing fear-avoidance and catastrophizingBrief screening questionnaires for shoulder painOpen-ended questions to explore patient beliefsValidating distress while promoting self-efficacyIntegrating psychosocial findings into rehabLesson 4History-takin specific to shoulder pain: onset, aggravatin/relievin factors, night pain, activity demands (tennis, computer work)Dis section focus pon targeted history-takin fi shoulder pain, includin onset pattern, aggravatin an easin factors, night pain, work an sport demands, an past treatments, fi guide hypothesis makin an personal assessment.
Clarifying onset, trauma, and symptom progressionMapping aggravating and relieving activitiesExploring night pain and 24-hour symptom patternWork demands such as computer and manual tasksSport and overhead activity load profilingLesson 5Key clinical tests fi subacromial pain an rotator cuff tendinopathy: painful arc, empty can/full can, resisted external rotation, Hawkins-Kennedy, Neer impingement testDis section detail di most useful clinical tests fi subacromial pain an rotator cuff tendinopathy, includin how fi do dem, interpret, an dem diagnostic value: painful arc, empty can/full can, resisted external rotation, Hawkins-Kennedy, Neer impingement test.
Standardized test order and patient positioningPerforming and interpreting the painful arc testEmpty can and full can test technique and pitfallsResisted external rotation and lag signsHawkins-Kennedy and Neer impingement proceduresLesson 6Interpretin imaging reports (ultrasound, MRI) an integratin wid clinical findins: partial-thickness vs full-thickness tears, tendinopathy signsDis section explain how fi read ultrasound an MRI reports fi subacromial pain, tell partial from full-thickness rotator cuff tears, spot tendinopathy signs pon imaging, an mix dese wid clinical exam an patient symptoms.
Key ultrasound findings in rotator cuff tendinopathyMRI features of partial- and full-thickness tearsCorrelating imaging severity with symptomsCommon incidental findings and their relevanceCommunicating imaging results to patientsLesson 7Strength testin an load tolerance assessment: isometric strength, resisted tests fi supraspinatus an external rotators, pain provocation vs weaknessDis section outline ways fi check shoulder strength an load tolerance, includin isometric testin, resisted tests fi supraspinatus an external rotators, an tricks fi tell pain inhibition from real weakness inna exam.
Standardized isometric strength testing positionsResisted supraspinatus testing and interpretationAssessing external rotator strength and enduranceDifferentiating pain inhibition from true weaknessDocumenting strength changes over rehabilitationLesson 8Red flags an when fi refer: systemic signs, cervical radiculopathy, inflammatory disease, septic arthritisDis section review red flags weh need doctor referral, like systemic signs, suspected cervical radiculopathy, inflammatory joint disease, fracture, an septic arthritis, an outline decision-makin fi urgent vs routine referral.
Systemic signs suggesting serious pathologyScreening for cervical radiculopathy featuresRecognizing inflammatory and autoimmune diseaseIdentifying possible septic arthritis or fractureCriteria for urgent versus routine referralLesson 9Anatomy review: rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis), bursa, acromion an coracoacromial archDis section review di functional anatomy a di rotator cuff (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis), subacromial bursa, acromion, an coracoacromial arch, stressin how structure, blood flow, an biomechanics link to subacromial pain, tendon overload, an common wear changes.
