Rotator cuff tear

in Kinesiology will enable me to live my passion as Physical Therapist.        At the age of 6, I began a career as a competitive gymnast. Training started out at 15 hours per week, year round, then progressed to 20 hours per week. Due to wear and tear and grueling body conditioning exercises, my body has suffered numerous injuries. With dedication, motivation and physical therapy, I overcame my injuries.          My interest in Physical Therapy was inspired by my gymnastics coach, Dr. Peter Pidcoe

upper limb disability: a protocol for a randomized controlled trial. BMC Neurol 2; 13:71. 2. Painful arc syndrome (rotator cuff tendinitis, tear or impingement syndrome): Painful arc syndrome is a condition characterized by pain in part of the ROM, between 45 and 160 degrees. Bicipital tendon rupture: Bicipital tendon rupture is frequently diagnosed in association with rotator cuff disease as a component of the impingement syndrome. Glenohumeral adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder or pericapsulitis):

diagnosed with left shoulder impingement/tear/degenerative joint disease, possible left cervical radiculopathy and insomnia/depression. Patient has no active treatment to date. MRI of the left shoulder obtained on 05/21/14 showed severe glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis with full thickness chondral defects seen, and intra-articular bodies seen in the axillary pouch with a joint effusion noted. These are likely related to broken off osteophytes. Partial undersurface tear is noted involving the anterior

the skin and musculature near the proximal attachment of the deltoid musculature. This may represent artifact related to item on the skin itself or related to postoperative changed. Clinical correlation is recommended. No full-thickness tear of the rotator cuff is

injury   MRI of shoulder joint without contrast dated 3/10/16 revealed fibrocartilaginous Bankaart lesion with adjacent chondral defect, no evidence of glenoid fracture or glenoid defieciency, Hill-Sachs deformity, and no evidence for rotator cuff tear or biceps tear. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with other instability, left shoulder and other dislocation of the left shoulder joint, subsequent encounter. As per medical report dated 4/21/16, patient returns for re-evaluation. He is not

63-year-old female nursing assistant who sustained injury to her left shoulder while helping to move a patient. Per OMNI entry, she was initially diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis of the left shoulder, in the setting of a bursal-sided partial rotator cuff tear. IW underwent a left shoulder arthroscopic capsular release, bursal release, and subacromial decompression on 11/16/16. Based on the medical report dated 12/20/16, the patient is 5 weeks status post left shoulder surgery. She continues to have

Innovative Technologies in Medicine - Stem Cell Therapy By J Soland May 18, 2013 Advances in medical technology are making it possible for people to get treatment for conditions that were previously either difficult to treat or that required highly invasive surgery. Now, minimally invasive methods of treatment are being developed so that patients who do not have severe or life-threatening health conditions may be able to find relief without the risks and rehabilitation that accompany surgery. One

It is therefore important to educate parents, coaches, and athletes about the danger of overuse injury to the shoulder. In addition to the conditions described in this article, children and adolescents, like adults, can suffer rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and instability episodes from athletic play. The management of these injuries is beyond the scope of this focused article, yet these conditions are nonetheless important diagnostic considerations in a young athlete with shoulder pain

restate that injuries like high tibial osteotomies and bone-tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction necessitate bone-union, whereas rotator cuff repairs, and labral repairs, and hamstring ACL surgeries rely on soft tissue-to-bone therapy. The authors pointed out that soft tissue healing is needed for extensive injuries like MCL tears and subsequent meniscal and Achilles tendon reconstructions (Chen & Dragoo, 2013). The administration of NSAIDs in orthopedic operation is contentious

Senior Caregivers and Joint Problems Many seniors suffer from sore and aching joints. What exactly causes these problems to occur? While there is no one simple answer, let's take a look at a few of the most common reasons for joint problems. As we age, the padding between the bones, cartilage, wears and erodes. This is often accompanied by a drying up of the protective membranes and fluid that lubricates the joints. Without the cartilage and the synovial membranes and fluid, the bones are allowed
