Shoulder Trauma and Hypomobility

INTRODUCTION

Optimal functioning of the shoulder and arm can take place only if the delicate balance of healthy anatomy, proper biomechanics, and normal physiology is maintained. Disruption of any one of these three factors may lead to overload and injury, resulting in pain and dysfunction. A vast amount of information regarding the pathoanatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder has contributed to the clinician's ability to understand and manage patients with shoulder complaints more accurately and effectively. Surgical techniques grounded in basic scientific principles related to the restoration of normal anatomy, biomechanics, and the physiology of injured or compromised structures have changed to allow for earlier introduction of rehabilitation. Keeping pace with changes in surgical intervention, rehabilitation programs are now based upon principles derived from pathophysiology, functional anatomy, and restoration of the entire kinetic chain from the lower extremity through the trunk, shoulder girdle, and arm.

Proper rehabilitation of the injured shoulder should be based on knowledge of the normal anatomy and function of the entire shoulder girdle complex and the inherent demands and potential mechanisms that may contribute to or cause injury to this region. Goals of simply increasing range of motion and/or improving strength at the glenohumeral joint are no longer acceptable; rather, clinicians must be mindful of how the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic complex functions as part of the entire kinetic chain and understand the subtle relationships among all these interrelated components. Rehabilitation programs prescribed for the treatment of shoulder conditions should be centered on principles of treatment as well as specific condition exercise protocols, and these principles should be coupled with the clinician's knowledge of the shoulder, particularly how it functions under both normal and abnormal circumstances. Hopefully, advances in management of the injured shoulder are reflected in improved and earlier return to functional status for patients.

An advantage of managing the injured shoulder according to general treatment principles, rather than specific protocols, is the adaptability of these principles to many different situations. In other words, patients with different shoulder pathologies can benefit from the application of some or all of these treatment principles as they share the same goals of "normalizing" shoulder anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology.

Principles of Shoulder Treatment

· Proper and thorough assessment

· Early protected motion after a period of immobilization

· Proper evaluation and treatment of local and distant deficits

· Scapular control

· Pain management

· Sensorimotor control

· Progressions

· Closed chain axial loading exercise

· Functional exercises
