SLAP Lesion Tear A SLAP lesion tear is an injury to the shoulder. This can cause painful symptoms and difficulty with overhead activities whether they be athletic or those of daily living. In 1985, Andrews et al were the first to describe the superior labrum tear. In their experience, they identified tears of the labrum from throwing athletes located anterosuperor near the origin of the bicep tendon. The cause of the lesion to tear was the bicep tendon being pulled off the labrum from the force

cuff consists of four muscles in your shoulder that allows you to move your arm away from your body. These muscles have tendons, which connect them to the head of your upper arm bone or humerus. When a tear occurs in these muscles, you will experience extreme pain on motion. A rotator cuff tear is also extremely painful at night. If left untreated, it may result in arm weakness. Rotator cuff surgery may be required to repair re-attach torn tendons to the shoulder. This may be followed by rotator cuff

Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursa. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac used as a bumper near the joints to reduce friction. There are many bursae located in your body, some of which being in the hip, shoulder, wrist, and elbow. However, a rotator cuff injury only affects the shoulder area of the body.

Each of the classes MovExplo* in the definition refers to one type of movement exploration that the patient may have had. For instance we present the definition of MovExploFlexGJLessThan90 to indicate an exploration of the flexion of the shoulder where the ROM achieved by the patient is below 90°.
