요즘 어깨 통증으로 오시는 분들중에 이 증후군이 있으신 분들이 많습니다. 어깨 문제로는 흔히 라운드 숄더다 오십견이다.거북목이다. 회전근개 문제다.~ 이런말이 많지만 이러한 문제를 가지고 계신분들을 임상에서 보게 되면 견갑상신경이 포착되어있는 경우가 많습니다.  신경은 신체에서 아주 중요한 요소로 신경과 혈액순환이 원활하지 않으면 그 부분은 뭉치고 퍽퍽해지고 허혈이되어 힘이 떨어지고 통증을 유발합니다. ㅠㅠ 자 상세히 알아봅시다~!

 

견갑상신경 경추56번 신경에서 분지되어 견갑상절흔을 통과하여 상견갑와로 들어가며 이후에는 극관절와 인대를 통과하여 아래로 주행, 극상근과 극하근을 지배하며, 어깨관절과 인대의 전체적인 감각에도 관여하는 신경입니다. 이 신경이

압박되면 어깨통증과 극상근 극하근 근력저하가 나타납니다.

 

원인

외상과 반복적으로 어깨를 부딪히는 운동이나  팔을 내전, 내회전을 많이하는 운동이 원인이 될 수 있으며

넘어지거나, 무거운 가방을 메고 다니는 경우 또한 위에서 말한라운드숄더 체형(견갑골이 앞으로 말린 경우)

선천적으로 견갑상절흔이 좁은 경우 이러한 증상이 나타날 수 있습니다.

 

증상

어깨 통증이 있으며 전체적으로 시큰하며 어깨 뒤편에 깊은통증을 느낍니다.

외전 외회전 동작에서 힘이 떨어지며 근력약화가 장기간 지속되면 회전근개인 극상근 극하근이 위축될 수 있습니다.

회전근개에 문제가 생겨 재봉합하는 수술

재활의 목적 > 통증완화와 가동범위 회복, 기능 회복

 

합병증 보통 1.5% ~ 2.7%로 환자들의 어깨 움직임시 뻣뻣함 호소 > 치료시 신경써야한다.

재활가이드라인

회복 초기는 조직의 회복과 염증 통증감소 수술부위의 보호가 가장 중요.

수술 직후 4~6 주까지는 팔을 고정해주는 것이 중요하며 수술 후 어깨의 뻣뻣함 줄이기 위해 적절한 ROM운동이 필요하다.

 

회복과정은 3가지 단계로 구분

1 염증기 2 회복기 3재형성기

 

Operative treatment

Retear time rate

22 patients with large or massive tears (>3cm)

- immobilization 4 week, strengthening 12 weeks

66% retears, occurred within 3 months

33% tetears, occurred after 6 months

No retears from 6 to 24 months

 

ROM gains

Type 1 : small tears (1cm, very good tissue quality)

- Full AROM 6~8 weeks

Type 2 : large tears ( <3~5cm, adequate tissue)

- Full AROM 8~12 weeks

Type 3 : large massive tears ( 3~5cm<, poor tissue, retracted tissue)

- Full AROM 12~16 weeks

 

Rotator cuff tensile strength

Ablilty to tolerate up to 100 N/mm of tensile strength

However, the tendons' endurance of compressive and shear forces is much less

Irritation and inflammation of the subacromial bursa which is rich in nerve fibers

 

Bursa

protection from shearing forces

contribute to the blood supply

healing of the rotator cuff particularly

preservation of the tissue

 

Bursectomy

- lead to rotator cuff tears or adhesions of the tendons of capsule

 

Tendon Healing Potential

Partial -thickness, small full thickness tears of the rotator cuff may heal spontaneously.

Most small tears will enlarge if not surgically repaired

Rotator cuff healing stage

염증기 > 증식기 > 재형성기

 

염증기

* Following surgical tendon-to-bone fixation

* Occurs first 7 days

* The release of histamine and bradykinin increases vascular permeability

* Inflammatory cells followed by platelets and fibroblasts migrate into the repair site

* Cellular proliferation and matrix deposition of this phase is thought to be regulated by several growth factors and initially yields primarily type 3 collagen.

 

증식기

* When next 2~3 weeks, begin to proliferate or repair

* This tissue replaces, which occurs 2 to 3 weeks after tendon ingury or repair

* Combine with capillary buds and nascent extracellular matrix to form granulation tissue.

재형성기

* During the following week(after 4weeks), this repair tissue grows stronger during the transition to the maturation phase.

* Scar tissue organizes through extracellular matrix turnover.

* The initial type 3 collagen deposition is slowly replaced by type 1

 

collagen, continuing until mature scar tissue is formed

* Remodeling repair tissue does not reach maximal tensile strength for a minimum of 12~16 weeks post repair, returned to maximal failure loads after only 26 weeks of healing.

 

Fisk factors of stiff shoulder after cuff repair

Calcific tendinitis

Adhesive capsulitis

PASTA type repair

Concomitant SLAP repair

Single tendon repair

 

Effect of immobilization

Postoperative immobilization can minimize the tension on rotator cuff repairs and may lead to improved collagen orientation and visco-elastic properties as compared to immediate postoperative exercise treatment

Immobilization of the shoulder for 4-6 weeks in a slightly abducted position may minimize tension and maximize vascularization of the repair

 

신장분사 치료

post-surgically to decrease pain, swelling, muscle spasm, and minimize the inflammatory response

authors recommend the use of a home cryotherapy device for 10-14 days after surgery

 

관절 가동술

30abduction in the scapular plane

- anterior and posterior translational glides do not significantly alter stress on repaired supraspinatus tendons with the arm in resting position.

Especially, posterior translational glides have shown to significantly increase external rotation range of motion in patients with stiff shoulders.

Progressed ROM to 4-6 weeks after surgery

회전근은 어깨뼈에서 시작하여 위팔뼈 위쪽 부분에 붙는 가시위근, 가시아래근, 어깨밑근, 작은원근을 말한다. 가시위근은 팔을 벌리는 기능을 하고 가시아래근과 작은원근은 팔을 바깥으로 돌리는기능을 하며 어깨 밑근은 팔을 안쪽으로 돌리는 기능을 한다. 회전근은 팔을 움직이는 역할을 할 뿐 아니라 관절오목에 대하여 위팔뼈 머리의 안정성을 제공한다.

어깨관절은 그 자체만으로는 불안정하기 때문에 회전근은 어깨 관절의 안정성을 유지하는 데 매우 중요한 역할을 한다.

 

가시위근 : 어깨뼈의 가시위오목에서 시작하여 위팔뼈 큰결절의 윗 면에 붙는다. 어깨위신경의 지배를 받는다.

 

가시아래근 : 어깨뼈의 가시아래오목에서 시작하여 위팔뼈 큰결절의 중간면에 닿는다. 어깨위신경의 지배를 받는다.

 

작은원근 : 어깨뼈 가쪽모서리 중간에서 시작하여 위팔뼈 큰결절 아랫면에 닿는다. 겨드랑 신경의 지배를 받는다.

 

어깨밑근 : 어깨뼈의 밑오목에서 시작하여 위팔뼈 작은결절에 붙는다. 어깨밑신경의 지배를 받는다.
