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.
