P.S. I am still working on the audio file from the previous post…

This past weekend I had the great pleasure of speaking to a group of Athletic Therapists and Strength and Conditioning Specialists at the Ontario Human Performance Symposium held at Sheridan College.  I spoke on Rotator Cuff Impingement Secondary to Scapular Dyskinesis.  The take home message from my lecture can be summarized in one sentence: “clients suffering from impingement may have a decreased scapular upward rotation and posterior tipping.”

After the lecture, I was fortunate enough to spend some time sharing Manual Therapy techniques around assessing shoulder girdle dysfunctions.  Two of the clinically useful Manual Therapy palpation techniques that I demonstrated were as follows: 

The First Manual Therapy Technique

4 Point Palpation Technique of the Scapula  (Watson and Dalziel, 1997 &1998)

Client standing, therapist behind, therapist uses two hands to assess scapula position

Right hand: thumb on posterolateral corner of acromion, middle finger on anterolateral acromial edge

Left hand: thumb on inferior angle of the scapula, index finger on the medial end of the spine of the scapula

The Second Manual Therapy Technique

Humeral Head Position Palpation

Palpate the anterior and posterior edge of the acromion with one hand.

Then palpate the lesser tubercle and the posterior aspect of the humeral head with the other hand.

Divide the acromion width into 3 equal parts and determine if the humeral head falls within the posterior 1/3 section relative to the acromion width.  If it does, it is considerd to be normal, if greater than a third then it is considered to be an anterior migration of the humeral head which could be a culprit of Impingement Syndrome.

Stay tuned for access to the audio for this lecture…
