  • Reduced elbow extension and shoulder flexion due to weakness
    • Main Analysis Findings
    • impaired transportation phase - poor acceleration and deceleration - can lead to poor aperture
    • decreased strength in elbow extensors
    • decreased strength in shoulder flexors
    • limited rom
  • Reduced elbow extension and shoulder flexion due to weakness
    • Further tests/investigations you would like to do
    • elbow extensor strength/rom
    • shoulder flexor strength/rom
    • potential postural adjustments - does moving the arm destabilise the body
  • Reduced elbow extension and shoulder flexion due to weakness
    • A suitable outcome measure
    • elbow extensor and shoulder flexor rom
    • elbow extensor and shoulder flexor strength test
    • MAS and GAS - refer to r&g scenario 3
  • Reduced elbow extension and shoulder flexion due to weakness
    • Justification for selection of treatment
    • start with reaching for an object that is close to patient and low elevation - minimal elbow extension and shoulder flexion required - MENTION ACSM
  • Reduced elbow extension and shoulder flexion due to weakness
    • Justification of approaches to facilitated learning
    • refer to r&g scenario 1
    • can start in part practice then put phases together
  • Reduced elbow extension and shoulder flexion due to weakness
    • progression
    • increase height of elevation - progressively increase shoulder flexion
    • increase distance from patient - progressively increase elbow extension
