Rotator Cuff Research Paper

Chronic injuries occur over a long period of time, so someone that has one may not notice it in the initial stages and won’t seek treatment until it becomes a serious injury. Grade III Injuries Grade III rotator cuff injuries result from a serious trauma to the shoulder. This type of injury involves a full thickness tear of a muscle (5). These injuries are usually acute, and are the result of a major injury, rather than a series of smaller injuries, which cause a tear over time. They commonly come from a fall directly onto the shoulder or lifting something heavy in an awkward position, but can also result from heavy pushing, heavy pulling, or a powerful throw (2).

Shoulder Injuries In Rugby Players

Sprains refer to when a ligament attaching two bones together is forced beyond its normal range (Dudley 2006). A grade 2 sprain will involve the complete disruption of the acromioclavicular ligament and partial disruption of the coracoclavicular ligaments, however these remain intact (Manaster, May and Disler, 2013). This injury can cause the acromion to depress and produce a ‘step’ which may be visible on initial observation of the joint, an X-Ray or on initial palpation. A sprain of the acromioclavicular joint can also be called a shoulder separation which is not to be confused with a shoulder dislocation which involves the glenohumeral joint (Martini, Nath and Bartholomew, 2015). The initial treatment of this injury would be to follow the PRICE guidelines (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation).

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Case Studies

2149 Words | 9 Pages

Secondary external impingement: Secondary external impingement is the inability to keep the humeral head centered in the glenoid cavity during movement because of shoulder instability created by rotator cuff weakness or a loose shoulder joint capsule or ligament. Secondary external impingement is also called Subacromial Impingement Syndrome and is a mechanical compression of the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or subacromial bursa by the acromion. During movement, the humeral head narrows the subacromial space, leading to increased compression of the structures within the subacromial space. Functional narrowing of the subacromial space can occur as a result of weak rotator cuff and scapular stabilizing muscles, altered scapular kinematics caused by weak scapular stabilizing musculature, abnormal posture, and posterior shoulder tightness. b) Internal impingement
