1 BASIC ORTHOPEDIC ASSESSMENT Muscle and Joint Testing The following tests are for the purpose of determining relative shortening, restriction or bind of muscle tissues. In this context the term bind in a muscle is synonymous with the feeling of restriction felt when a shortened hypertonic muscle reaches its end range of motion (ROM). The term ease is used as the opposite of bind. One tool for determining this is to use a listening hand palpating the muscle(s) being tested. As the muscle/joint is tested this hand lightly palpates to feel or listen for the muscles end range ROM. The following directions are used describing the following: Client Position = The clients position on or off the table as well as any directions needed subsequent to beginning the test Test Protocol = Description of the test to be performed Results = Explanations of the possible test results The results are listed as: 1. A positive (+) test meaning there is a sensation of bind prior to the muscle reaching normal ROM 2. A negative (-) test meaning full ROM is obtained w/o bind. 3. In some cases a positive test requires further isolated muscle tests to narrow the evaluation to a muscle or muscle group. 1
2 Pectoralis Major/ Latissimus Dorsi Client Position: Supine Test Protocol: Place client s arms in a flexed medially rotated position (as shown). - upper arm lays flat on table + Raised arm indicates Pect. Or Lat. bind - Left arm position + right arm position indicates Latissimus Dorsi bind You may utilize a spring test as with the Rectus Femoris on page 6 Push medially to test Latissimus Dorsi Push posteriorly for Pectoralis test 2
3 Upper Trapezius/Levator Scapula Functional Assessment Client Position: seated Test Protocol: Abduct arm then have client abduct arm past horizontal (90 ). Visually note degree of hinging at area marked by and bunching of the muscles just medial to this point. - upon action noted hinging at the shoulder joint with minimal bunching of the Upper Trapezius and Levator Scapula + action hinges over upper trapezius with excessive bunching of muscles and marked upward rotation of the scapula indicating overactivity in the two muscles Test Protocol: Palpate just medial to the observation point in the previous test Instruct client to bend their arm bringing their elbow straight back. - no contraction of Trapezius or Levator Scapula felt during movement + contraction of these muscles felt during movement indicating relative shortness and overactivity 3
4 Upper Trapezius Client Position: Supine Test Protocol: Side bend neck and rotate head from side being assessed. Cup shoulder and perform spring test away by depressing shoulder and releasing. - soft, bounce return into elevation + hard, tight elastic return indicates Upper Trapezius bind Levator Scapula Test Protocol: Flex then side bend neck and rotate head away from side being assessed. Cup shoulder and perform spring test by depressing shoulder and releasing. - soft, bounce return into elevation + hard, tight elastic return indicates Levator Scapula bind 4
5 Range of Motion of Neck On Rotation Client Position; supine Test Protocol: Gently take clients head into rotation. Be sure chin stays level. Proper rotation should be 90 or flat on table. Test both sides. This test may also be done actively by client, with proper movement allowing client to hear hair rubbing on table. Results; - Head lays flat on table + Any position where head does not rest on table indicates tightness in muscles on opposite side including Sternocleidomastoid. 5
6 Sternocleidomastoid Client Position: Supine Test Protocol: Instruct client to lift head from table bringing their chin to their chest. Observe looking for proper movement. Chin should tuck with initiation of movement as forehead leads capital and neck flexion. - smooth flexion with forehead leading + chin just out and leads movement indicating Scalenes Client position: Seated Test Protocol: Observe client s shoulders while they breathe normally. Watch for breath but try not to be obvious. - shoulders do not move with breath + Shoulders rise with breath, indicating possible scalenes shortness 6
7 Medial Rotators of the Gleno/humeral joint Client position: Supine, close to edge of table. Test Protocol: Have client bring arm into abduction with elbow in flexion. Passively or actively move client s arm so that lower arm faces upward and hand lies level to or above head. You may choose to palpate client shoulder to feel for restrictions in ROM. Do not force, although a spring test is possible. - forearm rest comfortably on or level with table + Forearm is elevated and does not lie flat on table, indicating shortness of medial rotators, especially 7
8 Lateral Rotators of the Gleno/humeral joint Client position: Supine, close to edge of table. Test Protocol: Have client bring arm into abduction with elbow in flexion. Passively or actively move client s arm so that lower arm faces downward toward floor (and feet) and hand lies level to table. You may choose to palpate client shoulder to feel for restrictions in ROM. Do not force, although a spring test is possible. - forearm rest comfortably on or level with table + forearm is elevated and does not lie flat on table, indicating shortness of lateral rotators, especially Infraspinatus. 8
9 Restrictions in rotator cuff muscles The following movements check for restrictions in the rotator cuff muscles. Observe client for difficultly or limitation in ROM and difference between one side and the other. Normally, the dominate side will have more restriction in ROM than the non dominate side. Client s position: standing or seated, facing myomassologist Test Protocol: have client move into positions indicated, watch for pain or limitation of movement Test One: Have client slowly abduct arm, palms facing forward until arms are over head. Have client hold this position for 10 seconds and then slowly return arms to side. - Client has no trouble and movement is free and unrestricted + Client has difficultly either in raising arms, or lowering arms smoothly, indicating restrictions in rotator cuff muscles, especially Supraspinatus. 9
10 Test Two: have client slowly place hands together behind head, interlocking fingers. (This tests ROM of external rotators.) - Client has no trouble and movement is free and unrestricted. Fingers interlock comfortably behind head, arms stay in coronal plane. + Client has difficulty bringing fingertips together, and/or elbows point forward instead of staying on coronal plane, indicating medial rotators restrict movement, especially subscapularis. Test Three: have client bring hands behind back, palms facing posterior. (This tests quality of ROM of medial rotators.) - Client has no problem bring hands behind back, arms stay in coronal plane. + Client cannot place hands behind back, elbows face posteriorly, indicating restriction in Infraspinatus and Teres minor. 10
11 Pectoralis Minor: Client s position: supine Test protocol: Observe client s shoulders from head of table. Shoulders should lay even with table. - Shoulders lay even with table. + One or both shoulders project upwards from table, indicating tightness in Pectoralis minor. Wrist Extensors Client position: Seated on chair, elbow on table (or other flat surface), palm facing client. Test protocol: Passive take wrist into flexion (bend towards client) to its easy limit. (No strain) - Hand is at 90 with forearm 11
12 + Hand does not reach a 90 angle with forearm indicates tight extensors of the wrist Wrist Flexors: Client position: Seated on chair, elbow on table (or other flat surface), palm facing away from client. Test protocol: Passive take wrist into extension (bend towards client) to its easy limit. (No strain) - Wrist easily bends to 90 between hand and forearm 12
13 + Wrist cannot bend to 90 between hand and forearm indicating tight wrist flexors This has been just a sampling of the different types of tests we can perform to help better evaluate our client s therapeutic massage needs. As I have stated before, choose a few, use them and learn to become more experienced, both with palpating skills and your eyes. Just as the more you feel, the more you feel the more you see, the more you see! All joints in the body can be complex and as with all massage, nothing should be determined as concrete, especially with a joint designed for movement, like the gleno/humeral joint. Learning Actions as well as Muscles will help immensely with evaluation and treatment planning. As long as pain is not the cause of restriction, remember, if it won t go where you want it, resist it back to where it came from (as well as make sure that is where it is suppose to go! :-) ) There are many more possibilities for testing of muscle shortness and/ or ROM restrictions. There are also tests that can indicate muscle weakness. It would be impossible to show them all in such a limited class time. Even if it seems like something you won t use today, it could very easily be what keeps you in demand further on in your career as a Myomassologist. My suggestion would be to use what you can, and continue always to learn! The following may prove usefully, either as elective classes, continuing education, or reference materials as you continue to strive for excellence in our chosen career.

14 One more thing before we go a little self help for rounded shoulders/fhp Stand against a flat wall. Feet should be 6 inches from wall, feet flat on floor, back pressed against wall. Tilt pelvis backward so shoulders and head are also pressed against the wall. Tuck chin towards chest (not all the way) to help lengthen posterior neck muscles. Arms are abducted outward, elbow in 90 flexion. Ideally all of your forearm, wrist and hand should be against the wall. Repeat the following movements for up to 20 repetitions at a time (up to 100 reps in the course of a day) to start with: 1. Raise arms upward, keeping wrists and elbows against the wall. Inhale as you stretch upward. 2. Pause 3. Exhale and lower elbows to your side (about level to waist line). This is the therapeutic aspect, so utilize muscle contraction to get you there. Pull elbows into waist line, KEEPING elbows as well as wrists as near to wall as possible. Concentrate on contracting the external rotators, scapular adductors and posterior scapular depressors. As always, avoid movements that cause pain. This technique can be very valuable to help retrain lazy muscles, reinforcing retraction of the shoulder and neck muscles, and aids in stabilization of the shoulder. Great to help ease the strain of rounded shoulders /FHP we so often see associated with upper crossed syndrome. Practice makes perfect and daily and focused practice may show noticeable improvements in just two weeks, and continue to accumulate benefits thereafter. Once the exercise becomes easy try adding very light weights for added resistance (a soup can works nicely). My most grateful thanks to Bob King, Chicago School of Massage Therapy, for teaching me this incredible exercise. 14
