Rotator Cuff Injuries and the Golfer By Deborah L. Mullen, CSCS What is the "rotator cuff" and why is it so important? The shoulder is the most flexible, as well as the least stable, joint in the body (great range of motion comes at a price). Unlike the hip joint with its ball-and-socket design, the shoulder socket is a shallow saucer. While this allows for flexibility, the saucer doesn’t hold the ball of the joint as firmly as the hip socket. In addition, the shoulder joint’s ligaments are relatively weak. This means that stability must come from muscles and tendons that run across the joint. These 4 muscles are collectively called "the rotator cuff." What role does the rotator cuff play in golf? Along with stabilizing the head of the upper arm bone into its socket, the rotator cuff has other functions crucial to the golf swing. It was once thought that the deltoid muscles (thick muscles that cover the shoulder) were the primarily responsible for the power behind the golf swing. From research that measures muscle activity during the swing, we now know that the rotator cuff muscles are a major force, while the deltoids are relatively inactive. By stabilizing the shoulder girdle as well as turning the shoulder and arms, the rotator cuff provides power and control in the golf swing. What are common rotator cuff injuries for golfers?

Rotator Cuff FitKit Rotator Cuff Exercises - This rotator cuff exercise program is designed to ensure optimal shoulder function by increasing strength and flexibility in the muscles of the shoulder joint and shoulder blade. Performing these rotator cuff exercises will help increase performance and reduce the risk of injury for many sports including golf, swimming, volleyball, racquet sports and throwing sports such as baseball and softball. These exercises are also helpful for daily activities such as reaching overhead, which place strain on the rotator cuff muscles. Rather than worrying about what treatment to use after you get injured, this exercise program will help prevent rotator cuff injuries from occurring in the first place. U nconditioned, imbalanced muscles of the shoulder area can cause rotator cuff injuries. As the rotator cuff fatigues from excessive use, weakness, or lack of endurance, the ball of the shoulder joint becomes more mobile and moves upward. This causes the rotator cuff tendons to come in contact with bone, which can lead to irritation of the tendon, then inflammation and pain, then ultimately an injury (shoulder tendinitis, bursitis, impingement, etc.).

Z ROTATOR CUFF INJURY GENERAL INFORMATION: What is it? The rotator cuff is made up of muscles and tendons. It holds the top of the upper arm into the shoulder joint (socket). A rotator cuff injury is when one or more of these muscles are torn. The rotator cuff may be torn a little or the whole cuff may be torn. Healing time depends on how bad the tear or injury is to the cuff. Most torn rotator cuffs occur in the arm that is used most. Causes: This injury may be caused by an injury, fall, or accident. It may happen when you fall and try to break your fall with your hand out. Throwing, heavy lifting, or falling on your shoulder may can cause this injury. Rotator cuff injuries are common in baseball, tennis, football, and skiing. Signs and Symptoms: Shoulder pain may be a sign of a torn rotator cuff. You may not be able to move your arm well, especially away from your body. Your shoulder may feel weak, numb, or tingly.

Pharmacies Rotator Cuff Injury Advertising WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that hold the top of the arm in its socket in the shoulder. Either the entire rotator cuff or a small portion can be torn. Healing time depends on the severity of the tear or injury. Most torn rotator cuffs occur in the arm used the most frequently, and most victims are men over the age of 40. Causes In many cases, the rotator cuff is torn during an attempt to break a fall with an outstretched hand. Other common causes include throwing, heavy lifting, or falling on your arm. Rotator cuff injuries happen frequently to skiers, and baseball, tennis, and football players. Signs/Symptoms Symptoms typically include pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the shoulder, and weakness in the arm. You will also have difficulty moving your arm, especially out from your body. Care Your doctor will probably order an x-ray of your shoulder. You will probably need to wear a sling or immobilizer so the shoulder can heal. A severe injury may require surgery to repair the tear.

Clair Davies talks about Trigger Points and Referred Pain Frozen Shoulder, Rotator Cuff Injury, Shoulder Pain, Adhesive Capsulitis, Shoulder Bursitis, Shoulder Tendinitis, Bicipital Tendinitis The most frequently heard medical explanations for shoulder pain include arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, rotator cuff injury, adhesive capsulitis and loss of joint cartilage. CAT scans, X-rays, MRI's and other tests often seem to substantiate such diagnoses. Even in the absence of objective evidence, shoulder pain alone is assumed by most physicians to be proof that the rotator cuff or the shoulder joint itself is in trouble. As a consequence, exploratory surgery, forced mobilization, and even replacement surgery for shoulder joints are commonplace and heavily promoted. An Opposing View In opposition to these conventional medical practices, Doctors Janet Travell and David Simons in their widely acclaimed medical textbook, Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual , assert that myofascial trigger points (tiny contraction knots) in overworked or traumatized muscles are actually the most frequent cause of pain and loss of mobility in the shoulder. Travell and Simons believe that even when a shoulder joint has suffered a verifiable injury trigger points always contribute a major part of the pain. They stress that pain referred from trigger points can be every bit as intense and debilitating as pain from a damaged joint.

Clinical Sports Medicine is available online Chapter 14 Shoulder Pain with W. Ben Kibler *The first 11 pages of this chapter are online* Functional anatomy Clinical perspective - A practical approach to shoulder pain Clinical perspective - History Clinical perspective - Examination Clinical perspective - Examination continued Investigations Clinical perspective A practical approach to shoulder pain Because there are numerous structures that can cause shoulder pain, it is helpful if the clinician can narrow the problem down into one or more of the following ‘categories’ of shoulder pain; (i) the rotator cuff, (ii) instability, (iii) the AC joint, (iv) referred pain. Furthermore, the clinician must seek predisposing factors for the injury that is diagnosed. Careful clinical assessment can often go a long way to achieving both of these goals. Before explaining the key features of the history and physical examination, we provide a brief overview of the four common categories of shoulder pain listed above. Injuries to the rotator cuff muscles and tendons may be acute, chronic, or acute on chronic. Acute injuries include muscle strains and partial or complete tendon tears. Overuse injuries include tendinopathy and tightening and focal thickening of the muscle bellies. An example of an acute on chronic injury is a complete rotator cuff tendon tear in a previously degenerative tendon. Athletes with rotator cuff tendon injuries frequently present with shoulder impingement.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Rotator Cuff Injury Rotator Cuff Injury October 23, 2001 (Reviewed: May 20, 2003) Question A recent MRI showed that I have "infraspinatus tendonopathy". My internist says that I need surgery. I am unclear about what this means. Can you please clarify? Answer Based on your MRI, you seem to have a case of shoulder tendonitis. Tendonitis (or tendonopathy) is inflammation (redness, soreness, and swelling) of a tendon. In tendonitis of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. The injury may vary from mild inflammation to involvement of most of the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it may get trapped under the acromion (the top of your shoulder). Squeezing the rotator cuff is called the impingement syndrome. Repeated motions involving the arms, or the aging process involving shoulder motion over many years, may also irritate and wear down the tendons, muscles, and surrounding structures. Your first step when an injury occurs is to see your doctor. I would expect that your own doctor would direct you to see a specialist, an orthopedic surgeon. This type of doctor can determine what treatments are required to help you. In general, there are a number of treatment options for patients with tendonitis. These range from the use of anti-inflammatory medicines to surgery. Other potential treatments can include physical therapy, ice packs, and even injection of corticosteroids into the space under the acromion. You should know that while steroid injections are a common treatment, they must be used with caution because they may lead to tendon rupture. Please see an orthopedic surgeon regarding your problem.
