A winged scapula (scapula alata) is a skeletal medical condition in which the shoulder blade protrudes from a person's back in an abnormal position. In rare conditions it has the potential to lead to limited functional activity in the upper extremity to which it is adjacent. It can affect a person's ability to lift, pull, and push weighty objects.
A scapular fracture is a fracture of the scapula, the shoulder blade.The scapula is sturdy and located in a protected place, so it rarely breaks. When it does, it is an indication that the individual was subjected to a considerable amount of force and that severe chest trauma may be present. [1]
Rotator cuff stretches are preferred when constructing an exercise treatment plan. Some specific stretches for the rotator cuff include, the wall press, shoulder roll, retraction of the shoulder blade, etc. ECE (eccentric contraction exercises) is proven to be more effective with pain since the muscle is being elongated.
A bone fracture of the shoulder involves a partial or total crack through one of the three bones in the shoulder, the clavicle, the scapula, and the humerus. The break in a bone usually occurs as a result of an impact injury, such as a fall or blow to the shoulder. Fractures usually involve the clavicle or the neck (area below the ball) of the ...
The shoulder joint is made up of three bones: the shoulder blade (scapula), the collarbone (clavicle) and the upper arm bone (humerus). The acromion is a bony process at the end of the scapula. The shoulder is a complex mechanism involving bones, ligaments, joints, muscles, and tendons.
Passive exercises of the shoulder are movements in which a physical therapist maintains the arm in a particular position, manipulating the rotator cuff without any effort by the patient. [26] These exercises are used to increase stability, strength and range of motion of the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles ...
At-home somatic exercises are diaphragmatic breathing, mindful walking and cathartic movement. What are somatic workouts? The mind-body practice is an easy way to release stress and tension
Shoulder problems, including pain, are common [20] and can relate to any of the structures within the shoulder. [21] The primary cause of shoulder pain is a rotator cuff tear . [ 20 ] The supraspinatus is most commonly involved in a rotator cuff tear, [ 22 ] but other parts of the rotator cuff may also be involved.
