Rotator cuff

Hello, my name is Chelsey Brooks. I am a Physical Therapist. Do you know what a physical therapist is? Well today is your lucky day. A physical therapist is a type of health care educator that helps patients with certain injuries to help them restore their strength and movement of a bone due to that injury. We are mostly like superheroes to patients. In order, to become a physical therapist there are tons of education to it. You cannot just have a high school diploma, what can you do with that? Obviously

Baseball: Is It Worth It? America’s favorite past time, and the preferred sport for many men and esfor children. Baseball is the most played sport for children, and for good reason. But where there are benefits to playing baseball, there are also downfalls that come with playing this wonderful sport. Growing up in a small town where all we knew was baseball, I learned to love the sport. For 15 years I’ve been the catcher for our baseball team, and as far as I can remember I’ve always had knee

Testicles can be found on the male patient within the scrotum. The normal testicle measures three to five centimeters in length, two to four centimeters in width, and three centimeters in anterior posterior measurements prospectively. Each testicle is encapsulated by the tunica albuginea. The support system for the vessels and ducts of the testicle is called the mediastinum. The Epididymis is comprised of three parts, the head, body, and tail. The relative size of the normal epididymis is six to

DOI: 1/4/2010. The patient is a 61-year-old right-hand dominant male driver who sustained a work-related injury to his lumbar spine, neck and shoulders Per the PT note dated 12/01/14, patient has attended 5 visits for bilateral shoulders. Per the medical report dated 07/27/15, the patient had some discomfort following initial improvement with cortisone injection. It was noted that the patient does have a history of cervical pathology. As per consultation notes on 6/30/16, the patient presents

supraspinatus tendon approximating 8 mm in width with tendinopathy and thinning of the tendon. No retraction of the myotendinous junction is seen. Mild hypertrophic osteoarthritic at the acromial clavicular joint with mild impingement onto the rotator cuff is seen. Per the PT note dated 03/29/16, the IW has completed 8 visits. Per the medical report dated 04/04/16, it was

Tinel’s sign is positive bilaterally and Jamar grip strength is measured to be 10/10/10 bilaterally. Diagnoses include continuous trauma; cervical strain with radicular complaints; bilateral shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis with rotator cuff tear, status post left shoulder arthroscopy with rotator cuff repair; and bilateral wrist strain with carpal tunnel syndrome and degenerative arthritis of the index/long distal interphalangeal joint, triggering of the bilateral

strain frequently occurs when an individual combines too heavy of a load with poor technique and too much volume. A torn labrum – surgical intervention is necessary to fix a torn labrum. Furthermore, rehabilitation can be slow. Strengthening the rotator cuff and avoiding overuse can help prevent this injury. 4. Integrate Mobility and Stretching into Workouts When an individual integrates mobility and stretching into his or her workouts, flexibility improves. Improved flexibility allows for an individual

report dated 07/06/15, the patient was prescribed with ibuprofen. IW wishes to continue trying to work without restrictions. MRI of the left shoulder obtained on 07/28/15 showed rotator cuff tendinosis with undersurface fraying of the supraspinatus tendon. There is no discrete high-grade partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tear detected. Moderate long head biceps tendinosis without discrete tear is seen. Focus of increased signal is noted at the base of the posterior inferior labrum with small

between .6 and .69. A previous study on the kinesiologic electromyographic have demonstrated that the interrater kappa coefficient for identification of muscles weakness without using a muscle test grade is between .62 to .69 for muscles of the rotator cuff. The interrater reliability for muscle stretch reflexes is around .73, with a specificity value ranging from .95 to .98 and sensitivity ranging from .03- .24. The interrater reliability for dermatomal sensory testing for C5 distribution around

in the shoulder. These injuries include distal humerus fracture, scapular dyskinesia, pinching syndrome, and rotator cuff just to name a few. Sub-acromial pinching syndrome is mainly seen among athletes that perform throwing motions while participating in the sports activity. There are two types of pinching syndrome, primary sub-acromial pinching caused by the impact of the rotary cuff between the greater tuberosity and the coracoacromial arch or acromioclavivular joint.
