The shoulder joint is a ball socket type joint. You humerus ball-shaped articular surface of the shoulder (scapula) shallow glenoid cavity sits.The range of motion of the joint is much greater, and, accordingly, should have a good stabilization.The rotator cuff muscles takes on a large part of this task. The rotator cuff in the shoulder, known as the four include deep seated Nov. Subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor, also known as these muscles is responsible for stabilization and rotation of the shoulder joint. Shovel-bone (scapula) muscles extending from the shoulder to the shoulder joint is what happens when you press a headline like these.

Rotator Cuff Tears, How ?

Rotator cuff tears can occur suddenly as chronically repetitive movements may occur.A sudden movement in athletes is usually depending on overload or acute rupture can be seen.

Acute Rotator Cuff Tears

It is often seen in athletes. As a result of overload or a sudden movement in any of the muscles of the rotator cuff full-thickness or partial rupture may occur. The athlete's training and is not caused by a lack of working on the muscles of the rotator.

Degenerative Or Chronic Rotator Cuff Tears

Recurring, especially on the bass degeneration in the tendon as a result of the action of the muscles of the rotator cuff occur. This partial degeneration over time turns into tears. Especially the supraspinatus muscle tendon with the head of the humerus between akromiyon occurs as a result of a jam. This situation is also another name of shoulder impingement syndrome.

What Are The Symptoms Of Rotator Cuff Tears ?

Pain: Especially with overhead activities increases pain. Can spread to the arms and around the shoulder. Rest and night pain, pain in the initial stages, while in certain transactions begin to occur in advanced stages.When you lie on the side of the patient increases the pain.

Kisitlig Motion Is: Shoulder movements, particularly not to use depending on pain and restricted. The most affected movements, and rotations on the bass level ( hair combing , yerlest my shelf , dressing, etc.) movements. Especially are drawn to wear the clothes and lie down difficulty in movements.

Power Loss: Pain to use and degeneration, depending on the power loss occurs in the muscles around the shoulder blade.

What Are The Risk Factors ?

Age: Degeneration increases with advanced age. Circulation is reduced. Tissue becomes vulnerable to injury.

Anatomy: Subacromial anatomically narrow the range to be an important risk factor.Akromiyon the shape is also very important. Individuals with the risk in individuals with Type 1 Type 2 and Type 3 akromiyon akromiyon is much higher.

Repetitive Overhead Activity: Overhead sports activity and repetitive movements and is a risk factor.

Trauma: Falling, etc traumatic injury

Diagnosis and assessment in rotator cuff tears

Diagnosis can be made with physical examination. All the different special tests for rotator muscles are applied. For detailed evaluation of X-ray or MRI imaging may be required.

Rotator Cuff Tears Physical Therapy What Is It ?

Full-thickness tears, except for surgery is usually not necessary. Even with surgery, the patient should receive physical therapy, not necessarily after. The goals of treatment in reducing pain , degeneration and prevent the escalation of rupture, tissue and facilitate healing of the shoulder region is to bring normal motion and strength.

Manual Therapy : The region includes many special technique that are applied by the physiotherapist. Mobilization and manipulation techniques are some of the techniques of clinical massage. Increases the speed and quality of recovery at a high rate.

Exercise : Stretching , strengthening, and functional exercises. The exercises correctly and regularly, it reduces the stiffness of implementation, and restores the strength of the person's former function allows you to get to Nov.

Activity Modification : Tear and degeneration increases movement is avoided. Especially with overhead activities and high-intensity repetitive activities degeneration increases.

Electro Physical Agents : Pain reduction, acceleration of tissue healing, Nov force for the recovery of various electro physical agents are valid.
