BEST PRACTICE Rotator Cuff Tears
Early strapping of the shoulder complex unloads the damaged tissue thereby facilitating repair.
Cervical & thoracic ( C1 -T6 ) spine check is essential in cases of trauma ( falls, traction, wrenches) as is often implicated as a shock absorbing mechanism
and can be damaged causing referred pain.
Existing posture patterning & scapulo-thoracic compliance can effect healing therefore all imbalances need to be addressed early on.
Gentle isometric abduction ( to 30) & lateral rotation ( in neutral)
short of pain point can be started after 5 days progressing to theraband
resistance which
strengthens eccentrically.
Subscapularis needs to be strengthened where head of humerus is lying
anterior in glenoid fossa.
End stage strength in a closed chain position ( quadruped) is an essential
benchmark prior to discharge.
