Clinical assessment of the rotator cuff
- 1. Dave Copas Wrightington 19th August 2014
- 2. Aims — Basics — History — Examination — Inspection — Palpation — Cuff Assessment — Demonstration — Summary
- 3. Role of the Cuff — Shoulder Complex comprises 30 muscles — RC muscles predominantly STABILISERS — Do contribute to movement — 3 muscles coalesce to form rotator cuff — 4th separated by rotator interval
- 5. Cons1tuent parts — Supraspinatus — Initiator of abduction — Acts throughout abduction arc — As powerful as deltoid — Origin – Supraspinous fossa of scapular — Insertion – upper facet of Gt Tuberosity — Nerve supply – Suprascapular nerve — Lies in scapular plane (30° to coronal plane)
- 6. Cons1tuent Parts — Subscapularis — Main internal rotator — Largest and strongest cuff muscle — Origin – subscapular fossa (ant. surface of scapula) — Insertion – Lesser tuberosity — Nerve supply -‐ Upper and Lower subscapular nerves (posterior cord)
- 7. Cons1tuent Parts — Infraspinatus and Teres Minor — Two muscles below scapular spine — Both external rotators — Infraspinatus -‐ Acts when arm is neutral — Teres minor -‐ More active when arm abducted to 90°
- 8. Assessment — History — General — Age, handedness, occupation — Pain — Location, character, night pain, onset — Weakness — Traumatic vs degenerative, intrinsic vs neuro-‐musc — Stiffness — Secondary to cuff pathology — Functional Deficit — Interference with work, leisure or ADLs
- 9. Assessment — Inspection — Proper exposure — Symmetry — Deformity — Muscle wasting (more obvious if infraspinatus involved) — Scars
- 10. Assessment — Palpation — Limited role in cuff assessment — Muscle bulk — “Rent Test” (Codman) — Palpation of supraspinatus tear
- 11. Assessing Supraspinatus — 12 tests on shoulderdoc! — Jobe’s Test — Empty Can Test – Jobe and Moynes1 — Abduct 90° , scapular plane, full IR and resist — Full Can Test – Kelly2 — Abduct 90 , scapular plane, 45° ER and resist — FCT less provocative – Less weakness due to pain — Itoi – 143 shoulders in 136 pt3 — ECT – 70% accurate — FCT – 75% accurate
- 13. Assessing Supraspinatus — Codman’s sign (Drop arm sign) — Passive abduction — Support released — Deltoid contracts -‐ hunching of shoulders — Burkhead’s thumb up and down test — Potentially useful in patients with Impingment signs — Apleys’s scratch test — And others.....
- 14. Assessing Subscapularis — Gerber’s lift off test4 — IR, dorsum of hand over mid lumbar spine and raised — Evidence Greis (1996)5 — Subscap heavily involved (70% max contraction) — Mid lumbar 1/3 MORE activity than LS junction — Gerber looked at 100 pts, — 8/9 with MRCT +ve — 12/16 with isolated subscap tears +ve — Conclude if full IR and test not limited by pain then reliable in diagnosing subscap dysfuntion — Internal Rotation Lag Sign (Hertel 1996)6 — As specific, more sensitive, detects partial ruptures?
- 16. Assessing Subscapularis — Other variants — Belly Press Test (Napoleon sign)7 — Belly Off Sign (Scheibel 2005)8 — Modified Belly Press Test (Bartsch 2010)9 — DeBeer’s Bear Hug Test10 — Useful in patients with painful shoulders — Helpful in detecting tears in upper part of subscap — Can use tensiometer — Pennock et al, 201111 — No difference between above test — Not known whether different parts of subscap fire in each test
- 18. Assessing Infraspinatus — Drop sign (Bigliani Et al 1992)12 — Full ER, arm by side, inability to hold position — External Rotation Lag Sign (Hertel 1996)6 — As above but arm in 20° elevation in scapular plane — Hertel’s “Drop Sign” as above but elevated to 90°
- 20. Assessing Teres Minor (or MRCT) — Hornbower’s Sign — Inability to ER the elevated arm — The Dropping Sign (Walch)13 — 0° abduction, 90° elbow flex, 45° ER — Falls to 0° ER when released — Both indicative of massive cuff tear
- 22. Demonstra1on
- 23. Summary — Careful History and Exam vital — Systematic Approach — Develop a system — Remember the neck — Consider core stability assessment — It’s what makes it more interesting than the hip or the knee.
