Abstract
A patient who presented with right shoulder and arm pain with decreased range of motion was seen for physical therapy for a total of seven visits over nine weeks at an outpatient physical therapy clinic. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The short form of the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score (QuickDASH) outcome measure was utilized at the initial encounter. The patient’s right (R) shoulder passive range of motion and the numeric pain rating scale were documented. The main goals were to eliminate R shoulder pain and improve the use of his R upper extremity. The main interventions used were glenohumeral joint mobilizations, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, strengthening of the scapular musculature, functional training, and task specific training.
