The shoulder complex is one of the most elaborated joints of our body, as it is formed by several bones (clavicle, scapula, humerus and sternum) that constitute different joints (sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, glenohumeral, scapulothoracic). The shoulder is the most mobile joint of our body, and its stability is maintained by passive (e.g.: capsule, ligaments, labrum, etc.) and active-dynamic (muscles) stabilisers. The rotator cuff is a complex of four muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) that has the paramount function of stabilising the joint during shoulder movements, maintaining the head of the humerus centred, and allowing rotations of the shoulder. Rotator cuff injuries refer to a spectrum of conditions that can affect the shoulder complex, including rotator cuff tears, tendinopathies and impingement syndrome. Rotator cuff injuries are typically progressive-overuse injuries, typically reported by patients with specific anatomical configuration of the shoulder, suboptimal shoulder biomechanics, poor posture, and extensive exposure to overhead activities. In some cases, rotator cuff injuries can be a consequence of a traumatic impact such as a fall or a collision. Patients affected by this condition typically report pain localised to the affected area that can radiate to other structures, painful range of motion (often sensitive shoulder elevation, abduction and rotations), muscle loss, clicking, and decreased shoulder functioning. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The management of patients affected by rotator cuff injury strongly depends on several factors such as the type of injury (e.g.: partial vs full tear), the presence of associated shoulder damage, the level of pain and functional limitation, and the characteristics of the affected patient (e.g.: age, activity level, etc). Conservative treatment typically consists of a period of extensive rehabilitation, workload management (education around activities that are currently stressing the shoulder), and potentially pharmacological interventions (e.g.: drugs, injections, etc.), which generally yields positive outcomes. In case surgical treatment is deemed necessary, many different procedures (e.g.: rotator cuff repair, debridement, tendon transfer, etc.) can be implemented based on the patient\u2019s condition, and always discussed with the medical-surgical staff. After surgery, a period of immobilisation\/protection with the use of a sling is typically recommended and rehabilitation should start as soon as indicated by the medical team. In Isokinetic, after being thoughtfully visited by one of our specialised doctors who will provide you with an accurate diagnosis, your recovery process will be structured in different stages and take place in four different environments, the pool, the gym, the movement analysis and retraining room and the pitch. In the early stages, the main goals are to minimise your pain, recover your limited mobility, educate you on the activities that are currently stressing your shoulder, and gradually enhance your upper limb functioning. In the mid-stage of rehabilitation, shoulder strength, endurance and stability recovery become the priority, together with the optimisation of the general movement quality to learn how to integrate the shoulder back into activities of daily living and sports. Finally, to complete the recovery process, on-field rehabilitation plays a fundamental role in allowing our patients to safely and effectively return to participate in their favourite activities and sports that require the utilisation of the upper limb (e.g.: throwing-, rackets-, falling-, lifting- related sports), maximising the recovery outcomes and reducing the likelihood of complications. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
