1. DEFINITION
Pain in the shoulder region can arise from the glenohumeral (GH) or acromioclavicular
(AC) joint, or from the periarticular structures or it may be referred from the neck,
thoracic or abdomen (Woodward TW & Best TM, 2000).
The term acute is defined as pain that is present for less than 3 months; it does not refer
to the severity or quality of pain.
Chronic pain is pain that has persisted for more than 3 months (Mersky & Bogduk,
1994).
2.
OVERVIEW
Many people with acute shoulder pain are likely to recover fully without treatment. It is
evidenced that 23% of all new episode of shoulder pain resolve fully within 1 month and
44% resolve within 3 months of onset (Van Der Windt et. al, 1996).
There is a risk that uncomplicated shoulder pain may persist beyond the acute phase
due to poor posture, coping styles and occupational factors (Van Der Heijden, 1999).
Early intervention is important to prevent progression to chronic stage.

ASSESSMENT
Detailed assessment should be carried out and documented in: Physio/AX.9/2000 form
(Peripheral Joint Assessment Form)
8.1 Subjective
- Identify the onset of the complaints, taking details of:
Is the shoulder pain a result of activities, traumatic events or chronic
repetitive overuse
Identify which category of shoulder pain the patients falls into e.g.
adhesive capsulitis.
Evaluate the course of the condition over time, taking details of the present:
severity and nature of complaints (impairments, disabilities and participation
problems)
Working Committee, Physiotherapy Profession MOH February 2011
Pain
Localised/ radiating
Nature eg.
Dull aching (muscle)
Sharp pain & shooting (nerve)
Numbness/ paraesthesia (nerve)
Deep nagging, dull (bone)
Sharp, severe, intolerable (fracture)
Throbbing, diffuse (vascular)
Aggravating factor
Movements/activities that increase pain
Easing factor
What patient does to reduce the pain
24 hours behaviors
Mechanical * - pain towards evening or some time after activity
Inflammatory * - night pain, pain on waking up in morning
8.2 Objective
General observation
It is important to observe the shoulder complex first and then proceed to
observing the other key skeletal platforms (foot, pelvis, scapula, thoracic, upper
cervical spine/AO and system of linkages) of the body. Shoulder pain is also
known to be the result of form/force issues of the pelvic girdle. (Diane Lee, 2004).

12 SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
THE FOLLOWING EXPLAINS THE ROLE OF PELVIC GIRDLE IN MANAGEMENT OF
SHOULDER PAIN
The body is a series of skeletal platform and linkages supported by muscles and
controlled by the nervous system. Movement of the shoulder is not an isolated event;
rather it is just one component of many events that happen throughout the
musculoskeletal system as motion flows along the kinetic chain. Evidence suggests just
prior to the initiation of movement, a number of deep muscles activate and produce force
closure to stabilize craniocervical junction, along with the pelvic and lumbar spine.
The pelvis is the key in most musculoskeletal dysfunctions. It is the main link in chains
(anterior and posterior oblique chains muscle) and important aspect of stability and force
transmission.
A majority of musculoskeletal dysfunction is the result of cummulative micro trauma
caused by impairments in alignment, in stabilization and in movement patterns of the
skeletal system.
Movement is based on an interaction of structure and function. Integrated model of
optimal kinesiologic function (Lee and Vleeming 2002) requires all the below
components :
Force closure consists of the following muscles which preset (local system) before
shoulder movement take place: Transversus Abdominus, Multifidus, Pelvic Floor,
Diaphram, Deep Neck Flexors, Subscapularis, and Upper Trapezius. These key muscles
activate to SET and STABILIZE the skeleton 30 60 milliseconds before movement.
This stabilization is referred to as FORCE CLOSURE. Insufficiency in this system leads
to shoulder pain syndrome.
Working Committee, Physiotherapy Profession MOH February 2011
19
A number of tests have been deviced to test the stabilization of form and force closure at
the sacroiliac joint. The following are the tests: Standing Hip Flexion
(Stork / Gilllets), Active Straight Leg Raise Test, and Prone Hip Extension Test.
Impairment / dysfunction detected in the pelvic girdle should be addressed for optimal
outcome in the management of shoulder pain syndrome.
Special test
Standing Hip Flexion Test

GLOSSARY
1. Close Kinetic Chain exercises To any exercise in which the limb is restrained against an immobile object
e.g. the ground.
2. Co-morbid Associated diseases
3. Disability Inability to perform an activity in the manner or to the extent considered normal
to that person such as problem in maintaining sitting position, picking object
from the floor and standing up from lying position.
4. Hill Sach Deformity Indentation or groove on posterolateral aspect humeral head probably due to
compression of humeral head on posterior tip of glenoid. May occur after one
episode of shoulder dislocation.
5. Little league shoulder Repetitive force applied to the open proximal humeral epiphysis which causes
accelerated growth with widening, demineralization and apparent
fragmentation of the epiphysis. Probably caused by an epiphyseal
microfracture.
6.
Lysis The destruction of cells through damage or rapture of the plasma membrane,
allowing escape of the cells contents.
Open Kinetic Chain exercises The distal end of the extremity is not fixed, allowing the joint to function
independently without necessarily causing motion at another joint.

SPECIAL TEST
Supraspinatus test
The patients arms are brought into 90 of forward flexion and then into
30 of horizontal abduction
The arms are then internally rotated so the thumb are pointed
downward.
The therapist applies downward pressure while the patient resists and a
positive response is if there is pain / weakness, indicating
supraspinatius involvement.
Drop arm test - also a test for rotator cuff tear (especially the
supraspinatus)
The therapist passively abducts the arm to about 90 and then has the
patient to slowly lower the arm to their side.
A positive test is if the patient is unable to lower arm or is able to do so
with considerable pain and shoulder hiking.
Another possible result is he is unable to actively lower the arm but is
able to hold it at shoulder height, if the therapist gives a light tap on the
wrist the arm will fall.
Speed test (Bicep long head) the therapist resist forward flexion with
the arm in supination and the elbow completely extended.
Pain and weakness in the bicipital groove indicates a bicep strain or
bicipital tendinitis.
30
Posterior Drawer
The patient is supine. The therapist grasps the subjects elbow with one
hand and stabilizes the ipsilateral and involved shoulder with the other
hand. The subjects involved shoulder is placed in a position of 90
flexion and internal rotation, while applying a posterior force through the
long axis of the humerus.
In a positive test the patient either looks or expresses feeling of
apprehension towards further movement in the posterior direction.
The therapist also notes any posterior movement of the humeral head.
Increased posterior instability of the humeral head relative to the
scapula/glenoid fossa may be indicative of posterior instability.

Work
Modify work activities if necessary. Avoid overusing your arm in an
overhead position or keep repetitive overhead to a minimum.
Do not ignore or try to work through pain.
Posture
Maintain good posture at all time.
Relaxation practice should go together with the postural training.
Other advice
Be active within limits of pain.
Rest only when joint is very painful.
Continue as much of your normal routine as possible.
