  1. Shoulder Girdle Rehabilitation Kevin McMenamin Athletes

  2. 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.

  3. Bone Structure • Consists of three bones: • Scapula • Clavicle • Head of humerus

  4. Muscles • Trapezius • Levator scapulae • Rhomboids • Serratus anterior • Pectoralis minor • Deltoid • Teres major • Latissimusdorsi • Pectoralis major • Rotator cuff (SITS): • Supraspinatus • Infraspinatus • Teres minor • Subscapularis

  5. Articulations • Acromioclavicular Joint • Sternoclavicular Joint • Glenohumeral Joint (Shoulder Joint) • Scapulothoracic Joint

  6. Most injuries occur at the glenohumeral joint.

  7. Common Injuries • Shoulder instability (Dislocated) • Arthritis • Frozen Shoulder: • Extreme stiffness of the shoulder Rotator cuff tear: • Occurs when the tendons tear

  8. Rotator Cuff Tear • Cause: • Repetitive stress • Falling • Lifting or pulling • Bone Spurs- overgrowth of bone.

  9. Sports Involving Shoulder Injuries • Swimming • Baseball • Power Lifting

  10. Sport Related Injuries • Reasons: • To much force or weight on joint. • Overhand rotation is an irregular motion. • More injury prone in this motion.

  11. Surgeries • Shoulder Impingement • Rotator Cuff • Arthroscopic • Dislocation

  12. Rehabilitation Process • Resistance band exercises. Sleeper Stretch • Electric Stimulation • Arm bike training. • Lasts up to eighteen months.

  13. Resistance Bands • Stabilizes the shoulder joint. • Exercises: • Internal/External rotation • Lateral raises • Front raises • Strengthens surrounding muscles. • Rotator cuff muscles.

  14. Sleeper Stretch • Increases flexibility around the shoulder girdle. Keep elbow at 90 degrees and push down on your wrist.

  15. Electric Stimulation • Uses electrical currents to activate nerves. • One of the major components of shoulder injuries.

  16. Arm Bike Training • Prevents shoulder and elbow joint problems. • Increases chances of better posture. • Strengthens core muscles around the shoulder.

  17. Injury Prevention • Non-athletes should perform: • Exercises involving upper body movements. • Cardiovascular exercises • Flexibility exercises • Athletes should perform: • Resistance bands • Sleeper Stretch • Cardiovascular exercises

  18. Conclusion • Shoulder rehabilitation: • Can be prevented through daily exercises. • Is a tough injury to get through including surgery. • Lasts close to eighteen months.
