Shoulder Girdle Rehabilitation Kevin McMenamin Athletes
Objectives • Locate the bones and muscles. • Know the shoulder articulations. • Discuss the common shoulder injuries. Discuss shoulder girdle rehabilitation process. • Understand methods of preventing shoulder injuries.
Bone Structure • Consists of three bones: • Scapula • Clavicle • Head of humerus
Muscles • Trapezius • Levator scapulae • Rhomboids • Serratus anterior • Pectoralis minor • Deltoid • Teres major • Latissimusdorsi • Pectoralis major • Rotator cuff (SITS): • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres minor • Subscapularis
Articulations • Acromioclavicular Joint • Sternoclavicular Joint • Glenohumeral Joint (Shoulder Joint) • Scapulothoracic Joint
Common Injuries • Shoulder instability (Dislocated) • Arthritis • Frozen Shoulder: • Extreme stiffness of the shoulder Rotator cuff tear: • Occurs when the tendons tear
Rotator Cuff Tear • Cause: • Repetitive stress • Falling • Lifting or pulling • Bone Spurs- overgrowth of bone.
Sports Involving Shoulder Injuries • Swimming • Baseball • Power Lifting
Sport Related Injuries • Reasons: • To much force or weight on joint. • Overhand rotation is an irregular motion. • More injury prone in this motion.
Surgeries • Shoulder Impingement • Rotator Cuff • Arthroscopic • Dislocation
Rehabilitation Process • Resistance band exercises. Sleeper Stretch • Electric Stimulation • Arm bike training. • Lasts up to eighteen months.
Resistance Bands • Stabilizes the shoulder joint. • Exercises: • Internal/External rotation • Lateral raises • Front raises • Strengthens surrounding muscles. • Rotator cuff muscles.
Sleeper Stretch • Increases flexibility around the shoulder girdle. Keep elbow at 90 degrees and push down on your wrist.
Electric Stimulation • Uses electrical currents to activate nerves. • One of the major components of shoulder injuries.
Arm Bike Training • Prevents shoulder and elbow joint problems. • Increases chances of better posture. • Strengthens core muscles around the shoulder.
Injury Prevention • Non-athletes should perform: • Exercises involving upper body movements. • Cardiovascular exercises • Flexibility exercises • Athletes should perform: • Resistance bands • Sleeper Stretch • Cardiovascular exercises
Conclusion • Shoulder rehabilitation: • Can be prevented through daily exercises. • Is a tough injury to get through including surgery. • Lasts close to eighteen months.
