Shoulder Girdle Rehabilitation Kevin McMenamin Athletes

Slide 3

Objectives O Locate the bones and muscles. O Know the shoulder articulations. O Discuss the common shoulder injuries. Discuss shoulder girdle rehabilitation process. O Understand methods of preventing shoulder injuries.

Slide 4

Bone Structure O Consists of three bones: O Scapula O Clavicle O Head of humerus

Slide 5

Slide 6

Muscles O Trapezius O Levator scapulae O Rhomboids O Serratus anterior O Pectoralis minor O Deltoid O Teres major O Latissimus dorsi O Pectoralis major O Rotator cuff (SITS): O Supraspinatus O Infraspinatus O Teres minor O Subscapularis

Slide 7

Slide 8

Articulations O Acromioclavicular Joint O Sternoclavicular Joint O Glenohumeral Joint (Shoulder Joint) O Scapulothoracic Joint

Slide 9

Most injuries occur at the glenohumeral joint.

Slide 10

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

Slide 11

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

Slide 12

Sports Involving Shoulder Injuries O Swimming O Baseball O Power Lifting

Slide 13

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

Slide 14

Surgeries O Shoulder Impingement O Rotator Cuff O Arthroscopic O Dislocation

Slide 15

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

Slide 16

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

Slide 17

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

Slide 18

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

Slide 19

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

Slide 20

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

Slide 21

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