Objectives
At the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to:– Describe various diagnostic
and prognostic criteria for various shoulder conditions.
– Understand the appropriate imaging modalities to order for shoulder pain.
– Understanding evidence based interventions for patients with shoulder pain.
– Understand when to appropriately refer for treatment.

Shoulder pain
3rd most common MSK complaint in general population
Accounts for 5% of general medicine MSK consults Incidence of shoulder pain: 6.6-25 cases per 1000
patients Peak incidence – 4th – 6th decade of life Shoulder pain 2nd to only knee pain for referrals to
orthopedics or primary care sports medicine clinics 8-13% of athletic injuries involve the shoulder and
up to 3.9% of new ED visits

Shoulder Injuries
A careful history will help establish the diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan
Important factors– Chief complaint– MOI (mechanism of injury)– Hand dominance– Sport– Prior treatments
Common complaints– “pain with overhead activities”– “pain at night when I lie on that side”– “feels like my shoulder is about to come out”

Shoulder imaging
MRI w/o contrast gold standard to evaluate soft tissue and cartilage
If suspecting labral pathology, get an MRI with arthrogram
Use of MSK US – the future!– Diagnostic accuracy of US, MRI, and MRI for full
thickness rotator cuff tears were similar (Sn > .90, Sp> .90)
– When considering accuracy, cost, and safety, US is a good option

Rehabilitation Principles
Three types of contractions
Concentric – contraction when load is lifted and muscles shorten (weightlifting)
Eccentric – controlled weight lowering and muscle lengthens (“negatives”)
Isometric – Joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction (i.e. planks, yoga)

Rehabilitation Principles
The key to rehab is eccentric exercises Knowing which muscle is injured can guide the
exact rehab exercise.

Superficial heat
Conductive methods– Heat packs– Warms body tissue > dry
heat, but no difference in therapeutic relief
Convective methods– Hydrotherapy: Whirlpool
baths Conversion methods
– Radiant heat (i.e. infrared radiation, heat lamp)
– Used for patients who cannot tolerate weight of hot packs

Ice vs heat
After injury? ICE– Ice limits swelling s/p injury (vasoconstriction)– Heat vasodilates capillaries
Recovery from injury? HEAT– Use heat 2-3 days s/p injury
Rehab: HEAT before exercise, ICE afterwards Arthritis flare up? Generally, ICE
– Whatever feels better!

Taping
Clin Rheumatol. 2016 Mar;35(3):741-6; Eurasian J Med. 2019 Jun;51(2):139-144.
Kinesiology taping (KT) becoming more popular
Compared to standard taping, does not limit joint/muscle movement
Enhances blood and lymph circulation by enlarging subcutaneous interstitial area
Relieves pain, improves functional capacity and resolves muscle imbalance
Studies have shown that KT treatment may provide some benefit, but PT is still superior

Knowledge of the anatomy and provocative maneuvers can help diagnose multiple shoulder pathologies
Key to rehab is eccentric exercises Refer to orthopedics if conservative measures
fail after 3 months
