ABSTRACT

Muscle coordination plays an important role in glenohumeral stability. The rotator cuff and the long head of the biceps are considered the primary dynamic stabilizers muscles. However, the fact that a subgroup of patients with a massive tear in the rotator cuff were able to keep a normal function, should make us question this traditional view. We hypothesize that the teres major which is also a monoarticular scapulohumeral muscle, although it is not part of the conjoined tendon of the rotator cuff, can play a role in glenohumeral stability by a direct support of the humeral head generated by the particular posteroanterior location of this muscle under the humeral head and which, as far as we know, has not been written up previously. This particular effect could appear while the arm is being lifted and the humeral head could be leaning on against the teres major muscle belly underneath it. An anatomical a radiological study was carried out to substantiate our hypothesis. Two cadaver specimens were used for the anatomical study. Frist body was studied through conventional dissection. The second body was analysed through sectional anatomy. Then a radiological study was carried out using magnetic resonance imaging in a healthy male volunteer. Both anatomically and radiologically, the anteroinferior surface of the humeral head was showed firmly resting against the muscle belly of the teres major, to the point of misshaping it from 110 degrees of arm elevation with external rotation. The specific contribution of this effect to the glenohumeral stability needs to be confirmed by further studies and can help us to prevent the high incidence of glenohumeral dislocations.

ABSTRACT

Durante cierto tiempo han existido múltiples ideas erróneas en cuanto al diagnóstico clínico con test neurodinámicos (tensión neural). Este artículo intenta resolver estos problemas y propone varias formas de unir las ciencias básicas y clínicas a la aplicación e interpretación de los test neurodinámicos en la práctica clínica. El objetivo es que el enfoque pueda ser más sistemático y con mayor base científica. Los nervios normalmente son mecanosensibles si se les aplica la suficiente fuerza. Esta afirmación enlaza con el hecho de que los test neurodinámicos normalmente producen respuestas neurodinámicas. Los test neurodinámicos (TND) estándar1-3 probablemente producen la suficiente fuerza en el sistema nervioso como para evocar actividad neuronal y síntomas. Puesto que los TND son positivos, se hace necesario determinar qué es un test positivo anormal y de qué tipo puede ser (manifiesto o encubierto) en el paciente. El siguiente paso es establecer una posible causa que el test anormal no nos indica. Esto se realiza con un examen habilidoso y detallado. El paso final para proporcionar soluciones neurodinámicas a los problemas anteriores es determinar si el test anormal es relevante para el problema del paciente. El artículo termina con la afirmación de que algunos tipos de neuropatodinámica es mejor tratarlos y otros, no


Several misconceptions in clinical diagnosis with neurodynamic (neural tension) tests have existed for some time. This paper attempts to resolve these problems and proposes various ways of linking the basic and clinical sciences to application and interpretation of neurodynamic tests in clinical practice. This is so that the approach can be more scientifically based and systematic. Nerves are normally mechanosensitive, given enough force. This statement links to the fact that neurodynamic tests normally produce neurodynamic responses. The standard neurodynamic tests1-3 probably produce sufficient force in the nervous system to evoke neuronal activity and symptoms. Since normal NDTs are positive, it becomes necessary to determine what is an abnormal positive test and what kind this might be (overt or covert) in the patient. The next step is to establish a possible cause which is not indicated by the abnormal test. This is performed with skilled and detailed examination. The final step in providing neurodynamic solutions for the above problems is to determine whether the abnormal test is relevant to the patient problem. This article is finalised by the statement that some types of neuropathodynamics are best treated and others left alone

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La terapia manual ortopédica (OMT) es una especialidad de la fisioterapia que debería ser tenida en cuenta en otras especialidades como la fisioterapia pediátrica o neurológica. Material y métodos. Se muestra la adaptación del protocolo de Kaltenborn-Evjenth (K-E) para la valoración de este caso, y se integra el tratamiento de OMT en un programa global de reeducación neuromotriz donde intervienen otros profesionales además del fisioterapeuta. Se describen las técnicas específicas para la región de la muñeca y se explica la utilización de técnicas de masaje funcional tanto de forma aislada como integradas en diferentes actividades. Resultados. Se produce un aumento de la movilidad pasiva y desaparición del dolor, que permite al paciente utilizar más su mano y progresar en el tratamiento, mejorando su capacidad para ejecutar tareas que requieren presas finas. Discusión. Aunque las principales causas de la dificultad para ejecutar presas finas son de origen neurológico, el factor biomecánico puede estar condicionando el tratamiento y la evolución del paciente


Introduction. Orthopedic manual therapy (OMT) is a physical therapy specialization that should be considered in other physical therapy specialties, such as neurological and pediatric physiotherapy. Material and methods. This case report describes the adaptation of the Kaltenborn-Evjenth evaluation protocol, and the integration of OMT treatment in a global neuromotor rehabilitation program where other professionals act. This case report also describes the use of specific techniques for the wrist region and it is also explained the use of functional massage techniques, in an isolated way and combined with other activities. Results. The increase of PROM in wrist extension and radial deviation, along with absence of pain, enabled the patient to use his right hand more efficiently. These factors may also contribute to improve the subject's ability to successfully execute a pincer grasp. Discussion. Although the main cause of impaired fine motor function in CVA is of neural origin, restrictions of joint motion may also warrant biomechanical assessment and treatment

ABSTRACT

Este artículo describe la aplicación del concepto de neurodinámica clínica junto a terapia manual sobre una paciente con dolor lumbar y síntomas radiculares. Se analizan con detalle los mecanismos causales, haciendo hincapié en el diagnóstico y en la reevaluación constante que genera la progresión en las diferentes técnicas de tratamiento. La disfunción consistía en un espacio de cierre reducido de la interfaz y una disfunción de la tensión neural. Se trató con maniobras de apertura de la interfaz para evitar la presión sobre la raíz nerviosa y con las movilizaciones neurales. Las técnicas fueron suaves y progresaron despacio desde niveles bajos a más altos según iba mejorando. Se concluye que el enfoque puede ser efectivo y, con progresiones específicas, razonamiento clínico y selección de técnicas, se pueden tratar los mecanismos causales, con énfasis en las categorías diagnósticas y en las progresiones sistemáticas. Se pueden tratar diferentes componentes de las disfunciones diferenciadamente y las técnicas de tratamiento pueden adaptarse con eficacia a las necesidades personales del paciente sin riesgo de provocación de síntomas


This article describes the application of the concept of clinical neurodynamics with manual therapy to a patient with low back pain and radicular symptoms. The causal mechanisms have been carefully analyzed with emphasis on diagnostic categories and in the continue reevaluation that creates the progressions in the different treatment techniques. The dysfunctions consisted of reduced closing interface dysfunction and the neural tension dysfunction. It has been treated with opening interface in order to avoid the pressure on the nerve root and with neural mobilizations. The techniques were gentle and progressed slowly from lower to higher levels as the improvement occurred. It has been concluded that the approach can be effective and, with specific progressions, clinical reasoning and technique selection, the causal mechanisms can be treated with emphasis on diagnostic categories and systematic progressions. Different component dysfunctions can be treated distinctly and the treatment techniques can be adapted effectively to the patient's intimate needs without the risk of provocation of symptoms
