慢性の肩痛について

本日は、肩痛について。

Chronic shoulder pain: part I. Evaluation and diagnosis.

 
肩痛は筋骨格系疾患の約16%を占める。
6か月以上続く方の痛みは、慢性の肩痛
こうした状態を起こす疾患の一般的なものに、
回旋筋腱板障害、癒着性関節包炎、肩の不安定性、肩関節炎などがある。
慢性の肩痛の病歴や身体所見について。

LR+ = positive likelihood ratio; LR- = negative likelihood ratio; OA = osteoarthritis.

noteThe recommended progression of shoulder examination maneuvers is inspection, palpation, range of motion and strength tests, and provocative tests.

押さえておきたいテスト;
ホーキンステスト~Impingement/rotator cuff disorder、感度72%、特異度66%、LR+2.1、LR-0.42

Figures 1a and 1b.

Hawkins' Impingement Test. Forward flex the arm to 90 degrees with the elbow bent to 90 degrees. The arm is then internally rotated. A positive test, noted by pain on internal rotation, may signify subacromial impingement including rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear.

 

ドロップアーム回旋腱板テスト~Large rotator cuff tear、感度27%、特異度88%、LR+2.25、LR-0.83

 

Figures 2a and 2b.

Drop-Arm Rotator Cuff Test. The arm is passively raised to 160 degrees. The patient is then asked to slowly lower the arm to the side. A positive test, noted by an inability to control the lowering phase and a dropping or giving way of the arm, may indicate a large rotator cuff tear.

エンプティーキャン 棘上筋テスト~Rotator cuff disorder involving supraspinatus、感度44%、特異度90%、LR+4.4、LR-0.62

Figure 3.

Empty-Can Supraspinatus Test. The arms are abducted to 90 degrees and forward flexed 30 degrees. With the thumbs turned downward, the patient actively resists a downward force applied by the examiner. A positive test is indicated by weakness compared with the contralateral side and may indicate rotator cuff pathology, including supraspinatus tendinopathy or tear.

リフトオフ肩甲テスト~Rotator cuff disorder involving subscapularis、感度62%、特異度100%、LR+> 25、LR-0.38

Figure 4.

Lift-Off Subscapularis Test. With the arm internally rotated behind the patient's lower back, the patient internally rotates against the examiner's hand. A positive test is indicated by the inability to lift the hand off of the back and may indicate subscapularis tendinopathy or tear.

外転テスト~Rotator cuff disorder involving infraspinatus、感度42%、特異度90%、LR+4.2、LR-0.64

Figure 5.

External Rotation/Infraspinatus Strength Test. The patient's arms are held at their sides with the elbows flexed to 90 degrees. The patient actively externally rotates against resistance. A positive test is indicated by weakness compared with the contralateral side and may be associated with infraspinatus or teres minor tendinopathy or tear.

クロスボディ内転テスト~Acromioclavicular joint OA or chronic sprain、感度77%、特異度79%、LR+3.50、LR-0.29

Figure 6.

Cross-Body Adduction Test. The arm is passively adducted across the patient's body toward the contralateral shoulder. Pain may indicate acromioclavicular joint pathology, including chronic sprain or osteoarthritis.

Apprehension and Relocation Tests~Glenohumeral instability、感度72%、特異度96%、LR+20.22、LR-0.29

Figure 7.

Apprehension and Relocation Tests. With the patient supine, the patient's arm is abducted to 90 degrees and the elbow is flexed to 90 degrees. Pain and a sense of instability with further external rotation may indicate shoulder instability. Relief of these symptoms with a posteriorly directed force on the proximal humerus is a positive relocation test and further supports diagnosis of shoulder instability.

 
画像検査の精度;
特異度は身体所見とあまり変わりませんが、感度が画像検査の方が高い。
身体所見のみで否定することは難しいけど、画像検査は否定したいときに使うといいのだと思います。

肩のテストは、いろいろあるので、覚えるのも実践するのも大変です。
1つ1つしっかりと練習しないといけないので、ある程度の大まかな流れを作っておくと楽かもしれません。
そうしたときに、診断精度はその基準を作るときの役に立ちます。
