Rotator cuff tear

Growing up I always dreamed of being a teacher. I soon realized that I would not be fit for that job. Once I broke my arm being in the hospital fascinated me. There was so many things to see. As I got older I did a lot research and came across one job that really caught my eye. A surgical technologist. I never knew that there was such a thing. The best part was, I got to observe and the surgery I saw was life changing. After doing some research, I contacted a friend whom is a surgical technologist

What does a gardener, an athlete and a carpenter all have in common? Easy, they all have a higher risk of acquiring tendinitis in their shoulders, more specifically rotator cuff tendonitis. Shoulders are a very important component to the body, as they allow you to move your arms in any direction you choose. Seeing that rotator cuff tendinitis is very frequently diagnosed, I was interested to learn more about it and what makes it so common. A shoulder is one of the most complex joints of the

This could be further assessed if clinically warranted. #3was confirmed on 8/7/2013 MRI Result: Partial Thickness undersurface tears of the distal supraspinatus tendon.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a type of therapy used as a form of treatment for swallowing disorders (dysphagia). This method involves placing electrodes on one or several external sites on the anterior neck to which an electrical current is applied to peripheral tissue targets (Clark, Lazarus, Arvedson, Schooling, & Frymark, 2009, p 362). “it is hypothesized that such stimulation aims to improve function by strengthening the swallowing musculature or by stimulating the sensory pathways

the head coach left too. Being a dramatic fourteen-year-old girl, I unconsciously decided that I already did not like the new coach. While she was the coach of my group, I tore my supraspinatus and strained my infraspintus (both muscles of the rotator cuff) and I describe the pain as sharp and constant. After practicing for a few days, I realized that my shoulder was not supposed to feel like this and I should see someone. My mom booked me a doctors appointment with an orthopedic doctor, specializing

two months or five times/week. The active group showed huge improvements in decreased disability and back pain, improved body composition, increased the quality of life and fitness level especially with the two-month aquatic therapy group.7 The studies both showed that aquatic therapy can help people with low back pain to strengthen their lower back muscles, move their low back more, and is a great pain relief having water on their back, and also less weight bearing than on land. The fourth thing

Rotator Cuff Injuries The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles, the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and the teres minor. These muscles helps to lift your shoulder up over your head and also rotate it toward and away from your body. Unfortunately, it is also a group of muscles that is frequently injured by tears, tendonitis, impingement, bursitis, and strains. The major muscle that is usually involved is the supraspinatus muscle. Rotator Cuff Injuries are usually broken up into the
