How does rotator cuff muscle tear restore?

summary

How does rotator cuff muscle tear restore? Because of all kinds of accidental injuries, it may lead to rotator cuff injury, resulting in shoulder pain, shoulder force and other symptoms. The recovery time of rotator cuff injury is relatively long, and it needs a series of careful and scientific training methods to recover completely. If the training method is not appropriate, it may prolong the rehabilitation period or aggravate the condition, so it is very important for patients to master these rehabilitation training methods.

How does rotator cuff muscle tear restore?

It can be divided into two categories: preoperative / conservative rehabilitation and postoperative rehabilitation. The goal of preoperative rehabilitation is to improve the range of motion, prevent adhesive arthritis, and strengthen the muscle strength around the shoulder joint for possible postoperative rehabilitation; Reduce stress response as much as possible. Once the inflammatory response is reduced, the core of rehabilitation is to improve joint range of motion and muscle strength（ The inflammatory reaction is usually 72 hours, so oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs and ice compress should be taken.)

Early passive activities are mainly flexion, elevation and external rotation, and then extension, internal rotation and hand behind movements will produce a lot of tension in the rotator cuff, which should be avoided in the early stage. The humeral head should be located posteriorly in the center of glenoid fossa, which can improve the dynamic characteristics of shoulder joint. Improve activity and reduce stress response.

Soft tissue massage such as muscles in front of the shoulder joint can reduce the tension in front of the shoulder joint. The upper trapezius massage can reduce the pain, protect the joint and form a good joint dynamic characteristics. Rotator cuff injury is generally fixed for 4-6 weeks, and can not be active movement. Physical therapists must pay attention to prevent active movement and raise the forearm to reduce the possibility of re tearing. Inform the patient of the possibility of re tearing.

matters needing attention

The specific methods of rehabilitation training for rotator cuff injury: active joint activity (shrug, chest expansion, but not active abduction), joint capsule contraction (shoulder joint forced contraction), joint activity / myofascial relaxation (after muscle training, massage the shoulder joint in front and back and external three aspects of muscle relaxation), progressive muscle strength training (elbow flexion, biceps brachii, elbow extension, triceps brachii), All muscle strength training should be painless
