Acute Shoulder Injury Evaluation with Paul Marquis PT

In this Acute Shoulder Injury Evaluation with Paul Marquis PT I evaluate this gentleman who slipped on the ice one day ago and injured his shoulder. I'm suspecting a supraspinatus and subscapularis injury. I demo the belly press test, the bear hug test, empty can test and perform manual muscle testing to come to my conclusion.

[@lindacohen6036]

thank you so much for having a real patient and for explaining the "why" so well. Far more helpful than watching videos of UE tests performed on people with no issues

[@jonhamilton9671]

Please keep these videos coming. Truly appreciated.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thanks Jon! Feel free to share, LIKE and Subscribe. thanks.

I am a PTA student in my first outpatient clinical rotation and your videos help a ton! Thanks!

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You are welcome! My goal is to help students and new grads see some of the stuff you may not see in class and put a few pearls from experience in there also. Please spread the word. Thanks.

[@brianmiller5446]

[@annapedersen3146]

So helpful Paul! I appreciate this so much as a new grad about to start in the OP ortho setting!

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thank you very much Hari!

Good night

[@michaelkeltner4422]

Recently injured and found your channel for some at home tests (I will go to Dr if symptoms continue). Thank you for the information and thank you to all the patients willing to be filmed to see their reactions for the evaluations.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thank you Michael! Good luck with your appointment. This guy actually did quite well and regained full function in about 2 weeks. It's amazing at how inflammation can look like a full cuff tear.

[@CloverMeFireStone]

@ortho Eval Pal with Paul what did you do for treatment or as management?

[@CloverMeFireStone]

@@OrthoEvalPal what did you do for treatment or how did you manage? What was the home care plan for this particular case?

[@sakshivaidya6450]

Great fan of this guy

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thank you Sakshi!

[@crissidares8461]

Thank you for this. Im in pain and just wanted to get a slightly better understanding before being fobbed off at the doctors.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You are welcome!

[@ManjuManju-ld1pv]

Same injury me

[@MrShidokan]

I think you made the infraspinatus muscle upset by forgetting to test it for a potential tear too 😃.

[@thakurdeepaktomar7802]

Sir i have pain in right solder my solder crash on road . when i angling a cross my hand they are painful.

[@mohamedorayith4626]

5:31 if there is a tear, what do you actually do with the gentleman. A splint, surgery or different approach to exercise?? I'm unsure

[@monyd7roog]

Hi Paul , Thanks a lot for your amazing videos always with real patient I am really interested to know after 2 months if that patient able to elevate his arm after his inflammation subsided as you said or he was needed to do MRI Thanks appreciate

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Hi Mina, Hope you are well. This guy had FULL ROM after about two weeks. He did very well. avoided an MRI and back to work. Thanks for watching! Best, Paul

[@monyd7roog]

Ortho EVAL Pal With Paul Marquis Hi Prof again , you mean he made full ROM actively ?! And the cause of he didn’t make it first because of RC shut down because of the inflammation as you said?! Thanks

[@OrthoEvalPal]

@@monyd7roog Yes. Full AROM

[@vaibhav_nitesh]

I've had a shoulder injury, my Xray and MRI are normal. My shoulder looks fine but as soon as I work with it, it starts paining, also I can hear a crack sound coming from the joint while rotating my shoulder. What to do ? Which physio exercises to do to get over it?

[@RyleyRehab]

From your clinical experience what do you trust more for diagnosing rotator cuff tears: the special tests or direct palpation of the tendons?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

I'll put it in order of how I like to evaluate shoulders...1. MMT 2. Special Tests 3.AROM 4. MOI 5. Palpation. Great question

[@jordanchang9348]

@@OrthoEvalPal I noticed you like to palpate the bicipital groove area. Is there a reason you like to palpate this area versus others? Are there any other areas you like to palpate during your shoulder exam? Are there areas you do not place a lot of emphasis during palpation?

[@michaelmetzger1017]

Unable to perform S flex. AROM but has full pain free PROM. Is this classic for rotator cuff injuries in the acute phase?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Yes, but not always. This one looks really bad right?? He was done with me in about 2 weeks with full pain free AROM and strength. Had a severely inflamed cuff.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You may have injured a nerve. There is a lot going on. You need to see a medical provider an identify where the issue is coming from.
