1) A Pancoast tumor, also called a pulmonary sulcus tumor or superior sulcus tumor, is a tumor of the pulmonary apex. It is a type of lung cancer defined primarily by its location situated at the top end of either the right or left lung. It typically spreads to nearby tissues such as the ribs and vertebrae. Most Pancoast tumors are non-small cell cancers.

A recent paper demonstrated that a comprehensive functional/orthopedic examination including the combination of the Hawkins–Kennedy impingement sign, the painful arc sign, and the infraspinatus muscle test yielded the best post-test probability (95%) for impingement syndrome (Park et al., 2005)
7. Functional tests
Poor posture and/or faulty movement patterns are typical kinetic chain dysfunctions which cause
biomechanical overload. Such repetitive strain irritates pain sensitive structures and can be a key perpetuating factor of pain. Movement patterns are important to assess because classic muscle tests evaluate strength, but
not the quality of movement (Janda, 2006; Liebenson et al., 1998). A number of muscles participate in any movement pattern.
- poor posture and/or faulty movement patterns는 인체 움직임 사슬 기능부전에 의한 mechanical overload의 가장 흔한 요인
- classic muscle test 는 근력을 평가하는 방법이기 때문에 근력이 중요한 것이 아니라 functional test에서는 movement pattern검사가 가장 중요
Poor scapulohumeral rhythm coordination is related to shoulder disorders (i.e. impingement) (Babyar, 1996; Yamaguchi et al.,2000). This stereotypical movement pattern screens for functional pathology during tasks involved with prehension (Kamkar et al., 1993; Kibler and McMullen, 2003). Inadequate fixation of the scapulae from below will overstress both the cervical spine and shoulder joint complex. This is evaluated during reaching and carrying tasks. Co-activation of the upper and lower scapular fixators maintain a ‘‘neutral’’ position of the scapulae during arm movements.
- umeral rhythm coordination 이 어깨충돌증후군 등 어깨질환과 연관성 있음.
- Inadequate fixation of the scapulae from below는 경추와 견갑대에 overstres를 야기할 수 있음
- Co-activation of the upper and lower scapular fixators는 arm움직임 동안 견갑골의 중립자세를 유지.
Arm abduction test
Procedure (see Fig. 8):
- Arm at side, elbow bent 90도, and wrist in neutral position, slowly raise arm (abduction).
Score:
- During the ‘‘setting phase’’, 1st 601, the shoulder should not elevate.
The lower and middle trapezius can also be assessed in the prone postion (see Figs. 9–11). In each of these tests strength, symmetry, and AMC is assessed. The chief dysfunction noted is typically the inability to maintain a depressed scapular position. Impaired muscle performance of the scapular adductors and upward rotators—serratus anterior, middle and lower trapezius—are also commonly present.

Burkhart et al. (2000) describe two important functional tests. The scapular assistance test (SAT) and scapular retraction test (SRT). The SAT is positive if it gives relief of impingement, clicking or rotator cuff weakness. The SAT is performed by manually stabilizing the upper medial scapula border and rotating the inferior medial border as the arm is actively abducted and adducted by the patients. The SRT is a similar test involving retraction.

Palpation
Palpation is important to provide further information about the rotator cuff, biceps tendon and/or subacromial/subdeltoid bursa. The seated position is ideal for the supraspinatus tendon. Have the
patient place the hand behind their buttock. The arm can also be extended. The long head of the biceps can best be palpated either seated or supine in the bicipital groove. The subscapularis muscle is challenging to palpate. The scapula must be abducted from the rib cage. This is best performed in either supine or side lying positions. The
infraspinatus and teres minor muscles can be palpated with the patient prone.

- 상완이두근건 촉진은 bicipital groove에서

Imaging
Imaging such as X-ray, magnetic resonance image (MRI), etc. is often indicated in trauma, the elderly, or unresponsive patients. However, not all positive imaging findings are confirmatory of symptom
producing abnormalities. In fact, there is a surprisingly high rate of false positive test results in asymptomatic individuals.

Ultrasound showed a complete rupture of the supraspinatus tendon in 6% of 212 patients from 56 to 83 years of age (mean: 67 years) (Schibany et al.,2004). MRI confirmed a complete rupture of the supraspinatus tendon in 90%.
- 초음파 진단의 경우 극상근 완전파열 212명중(평균나이 67세) 6명만 진단
- mri는 극상근건 완전파열의 90%를 확진
All patients reported no functional deficits, although strength was significantly lower in the patient group with
complete supraspinatus tendon tear (Po0:01). There is a higher prevalence in older individuals of rotator cuff tendon tears that cause no pain or decrease in activities of daily living. MRI of the shoulders of 96 asymptomatic individuals were evaluated to determine the prevalence of findings consistent with a tear of the rotator cuff (Sher et al., 1995). The over-all prevalence of tears of the rotator cuff in all age-groups was 34%. There were fourteen full-thickness tears (15%) and nineteen partial-thickness tears (20%). The frequency of full-thickness and partial-thickness tears increased significantly with age (Po0:001 and 0.05, respectively). Twenty-five (54%) of the 46 individuals who were more than 60-year old had a tear of the rotator cuff: 13 (28%) had a full-thickness tear and 12 (26%) had a partial-thickness tear.

- 예를들어 96명 증상이 없는 사람들을 대상으로 한 연구에 의하면 나이든 그룹의 34%가 극상근 건 파열
- 15%(14명)이 full-thickness tear, 20%(19명)이 partial-thickness tear
- 나이가 많은수록 극상근 건 파열 비율은 높아짐
- 60세가 넘은 46명환자 중 극상근 건 파열이 있는 환자는 54%(25명). full-thickness tear는 28%(13명), partial-thickness tear는 26%(12명)
참고) Tears of the rotator cuff tendon are described as partial thickness tears, full thickness tears and full thickness tears with complete detachment of the tendons from bone.
Of the 25 individuals who were 40–60-year old, one (4%) had a full-thickness tear and six (24%) had a partialthickness tear. Of the 25 individuals who were 19–39-year old, none had a full-thickness tear and
one (4%) had a partial-thickness tear.
- 40-60세 25명을 대상으로 한 연구에서는 4%(1명)이 full-thickness tear, 24%(6명)은 partial-thickness tear
- 19-39세 25명을 대상으로 한 연구에서는 full-thickness tear는 없고, 4%(1명)만 partial-thickness tear
MRI identified a high prevalence of tears of the rotator cuff in asymptomatic individuals. These tears were increasingly frequent with advancing age and were compatible with normal, painless, functional activity. The results of the present study emphasize the potential hazards of the use of magnetic resonance imaging scans alone as a basis for the determination of operative intervention in the absence of associated clinical findings. Additionally, it is possible in symptomatic individuals that the MRI findings are merely coincidental.
- mri로 극상근 건 파열이 있는 환자가 통증이 있는 것은 우연의 일치일 수 있음.
Fourteen completely asymptomatic patients and 32 patients with residual symptoms were or retears were detected in three (21%) and bursitis-like abnormalities in 14 (100%) of the 14 asymptomatic patients. Fifteen (47%) residual
defects or retears and 31 (97%) bursitis-like abnormalities were diagnosed in the 32 patients with residual symptoms. The size of the residual defects/retears was significantly smaller in the asymptomatic group (mean 8 mm, range 6–11 mm) than in the symptomatic group (mean 32mm, range 7–50mm) (t-test, P ¼ 0:001). The extent of the bursitis-like subacromial abnormalities did not significantly differ (t-test, P40:05) between asymptomatic (mean 28_3 mm) and symptomatic patients (mean 32_3 mm).
- 무시
Thus, small residual defects or re-tears (<1 cm) of the rotator cuff are not necessarily associated with clinical symptoms. Subacromial bursitis-like MR abnormalities are almost always seen after rotator cuff repair even in patients without residual complaints. They may persist for several years after rotator cuff repair and appear to be clinically irrelevant.
- Subacromial bursitis-like MR abnormalities are almost always seen after rotator cuff repair even in patients without residual complaints
Detailed MRI scans of asymptomatic dominant and nondominant shoulders of elite overhead athletes were obtained (Connor et al., 2003). Images from a surgical control group were intermixed to assess accuracy and control for observer bias. A 5-year follow-up interview was performed to determine whether MRI abnormalities found in
the initial stage of the study represented truly clinical false-positive findings or symptomatic shoulders in evolution. Eight of 20 (40%) dominant shoulders had findings consistent with partial- or full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff as compared with none (0%) of the nondominant shoulders. Five of 20 (25%) dominant shoulders had MRI evidence of Bennett’s lesions compared with none (0%) of the nondominant shoulders. None of the athletes
interviewed 5 years later had any subjective symptoms or had required any evaluation or treatment for shoulder-related problems during the study period.
Thus, MRI alone should not be used as a basis for operative intervention in this patient population. For chronic shoulder pain of non-traumatic origin it does not appear MRI is a front line diagnostic test (Bradley et al., 2005). In total, 41% of 101 consecutive patients had a shoulder MRI prior to specialist evaluation by an orthopedic fellowshiptrained shoulder specialist. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, affected
shoulder, insurance status, mechanism of injury, comorbid conditions, range of motion, treatment, initial outcome parameter assessments, or improvement of outcomes between the patients who had pre-evaluation MRI and those who did not.
Summary
Thorough evaluation of patients with shoulder problems should classify patients into discreet diagnostic groups—red flags, impingement syndrome, adhesive capsulitis, shoulder instability. Most rotator cuff tendonitis patients fall into the
impingement category. The most important aspect of the initial evaluation is to rule out red flags suggestive of tumor, infection or fracture. If present such patients always require additional testing and often referral. A patient will be classified into the impingement category if there is (a) pain with active shoulder motions (i.e., painful arc), (b) pain with overpressure of passive shoulder elevation (i.e., a positive Neer’s test) or horizontal shoulder adduction/internal rotation (Hawkins test), and (c) painfully weak resisted shoulder motions. Impingement syndrome patients should also be evaluated for partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears, especially if the response to 4–6 weeks of rehabilitation is unsatisfactory. Patients with adhesive capsulitis have severe ROM loss. The most restricted ROMs are with shoulder abduction, external rotation, and flexion. In contrast, patients with shoulder instability are hypermobile. A history of recurrent dislocations is often present. An apprehension sign may be present. SLAP II-IV lesions are common in this
patient group and the labrum can be seen to be stretched anterior during many of the functional tests.
