Purpose of Test: To assess for anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint capsule. Test Position : Supine Procedure: The examiner flexes the patient’s elbow to 90 degrees and abducts their shoulder to 90 degrees. The examiner then slowly externally rotates the patient’s shoulder. The test is considered positive if the patient demonstrates apprehension during shoulder external rotation. Apprehension-Relocation method : The examiner flexes the patient’s elbow to 90 degrees and abducts their shoulder to 90 degrees. The examiner then slowly externally rotates the patient’s shoulder. If the patient experiences apprehension during external rotation, the examiners places a firm hand over the anterior shoulder, increasing shoulder stability. The examiner again applies an external rotation force to the shoulder. If the patient has apprehension during the first external rotation and no apprehension during the second external rotation, it is considered a positive test. Imp...

                              Virtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer generated experience which takes place within a simulated environment which incorporates mainly auditory, visual as well as haptic types of sensory feedback.                                Stroke is a condition which leads to cell death due to poor blood flow to the brain. It is one of the leading causes of death and disability. Almost 55 and 75% of stroke survivors fail to regain functional use of their impaired upper limb. A major goal of physiotherapeutic treatment is to regain the functional movement. Various exercises are being used since long.                               TASK-SPECIFIC and TASK ORIENTED activities help in enhancing motor recovery during the a...

                                  Taking a detailed patient history is important. Listen carefully to the patient’s past medical history and history of presenting condition. The narrative given by the patient contains much of the information needed to rule out red flags and guide the shoulder examination.                                   The patient may report pain local to the involved shoulder. The symptoms may extend toward the scapula, axilla, anterior chest, along with the clavicle, or down the humerus. When taking the patients history it is also important to ask if they have pain or symptoms in other regions such as their cervical or thoracic spine, or elbow. The patient may also report difficulty with overhead activities, lifting objects, activities of daily living, sports or recreational activities.& Th...

Definition/Description                                                             If the bottom of your foot hurts when you walk, or kind of heel pain, you may have Plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis may be referred to as plantar fasciosis, plantar heel pain, plantar fascial fibramatosis, among others. Because many cases diagnosed as “plantar fasciitis” are not inflammatory conditions, this condition may be best referred to as "plantar fasciosis." This is confirmed through histological analysis which demonstrates plantar fascia fibrosis, collagen cell death, vascular hyperplasia, random and disorganized collagen, and avascular zones.                                There are many different sources of pain in the plantar heel beside the plantar fasci...

Active exercise is an exercise in which the patient exerts force to complete an action, e.g. standing up from the bed. The Physiotherapist is typically a supervisor and provides little to no assistance to the patient unless a problem arises i.e. fall. OR The movement performed within the unrestricted ROM controlled by the voluntary contraction of the muscle is known by Active Movement in Physiotherapy. Classification of Active Movement 1- Active assisted exercise:  In which assistance is provided by an outside force, either manual or mechanical when muscle strength is inadequate to complete the motion. 2- Active free exercise:  In which the voluntary contraction of the muscle can perform full ROM against gravity. 3- Active resisted exercise:  In which the voluntary contraction of the muscle is resisted by an outside force.

The coracobrachialis is the smallest of the three muscles that attach to the coracoid process of the scapula.  coracobrachialis ORIGIN: The coracobrachialis is Originates from the coracoid process of the scapula. coracobrachialis INSERTION: The coracobrachialis is inserted on the medial surface of the humerus shaft. coracobrachialisACTION: The coracobrachialis is majorly working for flexion & adduction of the humerus. The coracobrachialis is a synergist of the  pectoralis major . coracobrachialis NERVE SUPPLY: The coracobrachialis is supplied by the Musculocutaneous nerve.

            The teres major is a thick, rounded muscle of the shoulder joint. It is a thick but somewhat flattened muscle. Supraspinatus , Infraspinatus , Subscapularis , and Teres Minor together This Four Muscle work as rotatory to the Humerus. So, also known as Rotator Cuff. teres major ORIGIN: teres major Originates from the posterior surface of the scapula at the inferior angle. teres major INSERTION: teres major inserted at the intertubercular groove of the humerus, tendon fused with the tendon of latissimus dorsi. teres major ACTION: teres major posteromedially extends, medially rotates, & adducts arm. teres major synergist of latissimus dorsi . teres major NERVE SUPPLY: The lower scapular nerve.
