By Nicholas Matthews rotator cuff injuries are very common, generally more common than most people realize especially before they develop problem themselves. Injuries to the rotator cuff can happen gradually, over time, as in the case of some kind of repetitive stress syndrome. They can also happen suddenly, as in the case of a fall or some kind of sudden trauma that happens to the shoulder area. The rotator cuff is actually a group of four different muscles and their corresponding tendons that make up the area from about the shoulder blade through the area of the shoulder its self. It helps moving the arm especially in the manner of lifting the arm to the side, and also surrounds and protects the shoulder joint from injury. Sometimes this area gets injured, and the terror occurs, and surgery is necessary. If you have been unfortunate enough to have rotator cuff surgery, then here is what you can expect when you go in for rotator cuff surgery rehab.When you first start your rotator cuf
By Nicholas Matthews The human body is an amazing thing, and the interlocking structure of muscles and tendons just makes it all the much more amazing to me. The rotator cuff is a fine example of that, it being comprised of four separate muscles that originate in the area of the shoulder blade and then combine, with their corresponding tendons to form a covering, or a cuff for the shoulder socket. This serves several purposes. One of the things that it does is to protect the shoulder, to a reasonable degree, from injury and the other is to give our arm and shoulder area the ability to move in some unique directions. Sometimes, however the rotator cuff gives us some problems and rotator cuff therapy becomes necessary.Rotator cuff problems are generally caused by repetitive stresses at work, such as lifting heavy boxes over your head for many years. At first the pain may be manageable by pain killers, but at other times you may need to seek out stronger pain medication or perhaps even go
By Nicholas Matthews The rotator cuff is made up of a series of tendons and 4 muscles that originate in the shoulder blade area and continue on as a group to form a cuff over the shoulder area. This is a common problem area for many people, especially as the reach middle age or older. It is not uncommon for a rotator cuff tear to occur, either through repetitive stress, such as listing things over the head over and over at work for many years or through injury such as in a fall. When the rotator cuff problems are due to repetitive stress the symptoms seem to develop over time, causing pain that is at first easily controlled through drug store pain medications but over time requires stronger pain pills and at times therapy or even surgery. Rotator cuff injuries caused by injury are usually felt suddenly as pain and a weakness in the arm, however it is not always a rotator cuff tear as it happens sometimes the area is just bruised.When a person has a rotator cuff problem they should seek
Resistance training, some of it job-specific, was successful in getting 90 percent of workers with severe rotator cuff injuries back to work, the majority (75 percent) at their previous job, after traditional physical therapy had failed to do so. Furthermore, all but one of the 42 employees in the study (98 percent) reported satisfaction with the resistance-training program and its outcome.
Dr. Jamie Stark described this and five related studies of workers suffering work-related rotator cuff and lumbar fusion injuries at Experimental Biology 2007, meeting in Washington, DC. His presentations, on April 29, are part of the scientific program of The American Physiological Society.
Participants in the rotator cuff study represent a class of “worse-case-scenarios” of work-related injuries. Rotator cuff injuries involve those muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and can be caused by pulling the arm out of place, by falls and other accidents. All 42 of the employees had
