Signs, Symptoms, and Assessment of Spinal Joint Dysfunction

Assessment/diagnosis of spinal joint dysfunction, whether it is a hypomobility or a hypermobility, is done via motion palpation.

What are the causes of spinal joint dysfunction?

The primary causes of spinal joint hypomobility can be divided into three types: taut soft tissue, bony obstruction, and jammed meniscoid body.

Fascial adhesions may result in restricted mobility

Fascial Adhesions of the Neck

Fascial adhesions may bind together the two opposing surfaces of a soft tissue interface, resulting in restricted mobility.

A meniscoid body may cause hypomobile joint dysfunction

Joint Dysfunction of the Cervical Spine

A joint functions to allow motion, so two forms of joint dysfunction exist: Hypomobile joint has restricted motion; Hypermobile joint has excessive motion.

Signs, symptoms, and assessment (diagnosis) of frozen shoulder

The most common sign of frozen shoulder is decreased GH joint range of motion. Most commonly affected motions are abduction, flexion, and lateral rotation.

What are the causes of frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder is a condition in which the glenohumeral joint loses mobility. The two stages are neurogenic frozen shoulder and adhesive capsulitis.
