When using multiple trаit selectiоn, the selectiоn intensity fоr аny one trаit is reduced compared to if selection had been only for that trait. This reduction is even greater when the traits are unfavorably correlated.

A 37-yeаr-оld wоmаn presents tо physicаl therapy with a diagnosis of right shoulder pain. She reports the pain first began less than a week ago while reaching in the back seat of her car to pick up a bag. She reports less pain since the initial injury but that it hurts when reaching overhead or out to the side. She denies any history of shoulder problems. She is right handed and works full time as a mail carrier. She reports not working since her injury. Clinical examination: Cervical screen: negative Shoulder Strength: Right Left Flexion 3-/5 (painful) Flexion 5/5 Abduction 3-/5 (painful) Abduction 5/5 IR 5/5 IR 5/5 ER 4/5 ER 5/5 Shoulder ROM: Right: AROM/PROM Left: AROM/PROM Flexion 132 degrees Flexion WNL Abduction 115 degrees Abduction 180 IR 53 IR 75 ER 60 ER 90 Special tests: positive Hawkins Kennedy, positive infraspinatus muscle test, + painful arc The physical therapist has diagnosed this patient with right shoulder impingement syndrome. POC: patient education, ROM exercises, stretching, and strengthening exercises for 6 weeks. The long-term goals: 5/5 shoulder strength, and return to work without pain or limitation. Questions: 1. Which ROM exercises are most appropriate given the physical therapist’s plan of care (POC) and expected progression for the first week? A. High resistance strengthening exercises for shoulder flexion and abductionB. Passive range of motion (PROM) for shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation with careful monitoring of painC. Active range of motion (AROM) for shoulder flexion, abduction, and internal rotation at high intensityD. High intensity overhead stretching and strengthening exercises for shoulder muscles 2. What signs or complaints from the patient would indicate the need for the physical therapist to perform a reassessment? A. Improvement in pain levels during overhead movements and no reports of new discomfortB. An increase in pain after physical therapy sessions or new symptoms such as tingling or numbness in the armC. No change in the ability to perform tasks over a 2-week periodD. Pain that consistently improves following ROM exercises 3. Four weeks after starting therapy, the patient’s ROM and strength are both within normal limits (WNL), and she is expected to start work again next week. Which 3 functional-based exercises would benefit her in preparation for return to work? A. Shoulder flexion stretches, shoulder internal rotation strengthening, and seated scapular retractionB. Functional movements such as lifting, carrying, and pushing/pulling motions to simulate job tasksC. Core strengthening, cardiovascular conditioning, and resistance exercises for lower extremitiesD. General stretching and strengthening for the entire body with no focus on shoulder-specific movements
