Introduction[edit | edit source]
Current orthopaedic tests for rotator cuff pathology and subacromial pain syndrome demonstrate low specificities and inadequate likelihood ratios, cannot isolate individual tendons and other structures to inform an accurate diagnosis and are unable to inform clinical decision making and patient management[1][2][3][4]. They should therefore be used in conjunction with a full subjective history and objective examination for comparable signs.
Described by Jeremy Lewis in 2009[3] the Shoulder Symptom Modification Tool (SSMP) is an approach to the assessment of individuals with rotator cuff and subacromial pathology. SSMP is a set of four mechanical techniques used in a sequence while the patient performs a movement that reproduces their symptoms. The aim is to identify one or more methods that reduce their symptoms and/or increasing movement and function[5]. This tool offers a method to objectively assess the shoulder with the focus being to identify movements and techniques that might be contributing factors to the symptomatic movement and not to label the pathology or exact cause of pain and then utilise these movements and techniques as a means to guide treatment.
Procedure[edit | edit source]
The SSMP techniques involve:
- Techniques to reduce the thoracic kyphosis
- Scapular positioning techniques
- Humeral head positioning procedures
- Pain and symptom neuromodulation procedure
