Sign-Symptoms of Glenohumeral joint arthritis !

The following characteristics are associated with the various types of glenohumeral joint (GH) arthritis that lead to hypomobility. Your shoulder pain may not be arthritis! stop assuming😆. having pain in the shoulder? I better suggest you to stop browsing and give a good visit to your orthopedics or Physiotherapist!

Acute phase. usually, external rotation and abduction are guarded by pain. Pain is frequently experienced radiating below the elbow and may disturb sleep during the night. Owing to the depth of the capsule, joint swelling is not detected, although tenderness can be elicited by palpating in the fornix immediately below the edge of the acromion process between the attachments of the posterior and middle deltoid.

Subacute phase. Capsular tightness begins to develop. Limited motion is detected, consistent with a capsular pattern (external rotation and abduction are most limited, and internal rotation and flexion are least limited). Often, the patient feels pain as the end of the limited range is reached. Joint-play testing reveals limited joint play. If the patient can be treated as the acute condition begins to subside by gradually increasing shoulder motion and activity, the complication of joint and soft tissue contractures can usually be minimized.

Chronic phase. Progressive restriction of the GH joint capsule magnifies the signs of limited motion in a capsular pattern and decreased joint play. There is a significant loss of function with an inability to reach overhead, outward, or behind the back. Aching is usually localized to the deltoid region.

Frozen Shoulder

Idiopathic frozen shoulder. This clinical entity progresses through a series of four stages following a classic continuum.

Stage 1. Characterized by a gradual onset of pain that increases with movement and is present at night. Loss of external rotation motion with intact rotator cuff strength is common. The duration of this stage is usually less than 3 months.
Stage 2 (Often referred to as the “Freezing” Stage). Characterized by persistent and more intense pain even at rest. Motion is limited in all directions and cannot be fully restored with an intra-articular injection. This stage is typically between 3 and 9 months.
Stage 3 (“Frozen” Stage). Characterized by pain only with movement, significant adhesions, and limited GH motions, with substitute motions in the scapula. Atrophy of the deltoid, rotator cuff, biceps, and triceps brachii muscles may be noted. This stage is between 9 and 15 months.
Stage 4 (“Thawing” Stage). Characterized by minimal pain and no synovitis but significant capsular restrictions from adhesions. The motion may gradually improve during this.

What is Anatomical pulley? Example of Anatomical pulley

Understanding the Importance of Anatomical Pulleys in Physiotherapy As a physiotherapy student, it is essential to have a good understanding of the human body's anatomy and how it works. One of the essential structures in the body that plays a significant role in movement and biomechanics is the anatomical pulley. In this article, we will explore what an anatomical pulley is, its types, and its importance in physiotherapy. What is an Anatomical Pulley? A pulley is a simple mechanical machine that consists of a wheel that turns readily on the axle, usually grooved for a rope or a wire cable. In the human body, the pulley is replaced by a bone, cartilage, or ligament, and the cord is replaced by a muscle tendon. The tendon is lubricated by synovial fluid, and the surface of the tendon is covered by a thin visceral synovial membrane. The tendon is lubricated so that it may easily slide over the pulley. Classification of Anatomical Pulleys There are mainly four classes of pulleys

Electrotherapy Simplified by Basanta Kumar Nanda PDF Download

Electrotherapy Simplified by Basanta Kumar Nanda The aim of this book is to focus on the electrotherapy simplified. Electrotherapy is one of the important aspects among the various approaches of patient management available to a physiotherapist. Electrotherapy Simplified has tried to give comprehensive knowledge on electrotherapy and actinotherapy, starting from basic electricity and magnetism to the theoretical and clinical aspects of the different modalities applied by physiotherapists. This book consists of 19 chapters, which include an introduction, inflammation, repair, and role of physical agents, electrical fundamentals, magnetic energy, valves, transistors, and rectifiers, electrical measurement systems and distribution of electricity, electrophysiology of nerve transmission, and muscle contraction, low-frequency currents, electrodiagnosis, medium frequency currents, low-intensity laser therapy, ultraviolet radiation, and traction. About 250 objective question answers have b

Range of Muscle work in Physiotherapy

The degree of the movement done by muscle contraction is known as the Range of muscle work. The range can be measured with the help of a goniometer. Movement is a very complex mechanism, a lot of muscles are working in a group and in synchronized pattern to draw out the perfect desirable movement. As per function we already talked about Agonist, antagonist, Synergist, and fixator muscles.
