Study Notes
Conservative Management: Phase II
Treatment
- Strengthening exercises:
- Progressively increase resistance of existing exercises
- Incorporate scapular strengthening exercises: rows, scapular plane elevation, press-ups, push-ups, and protraction
- Include "push up plus" to work the protractors
- Isotonic rotator cuff exercises:
- External rotation (ER) and internal rotation (IR) with theratube/theraband, at the side of the body
- Active flexion: 0-45 degrees and then 0-90 degrees
Strengthening (cont'd)
- Progress strengthening program at the end of Phase II
- Continue and advance scapular strengthening:
- Plyo toss
- Increase resistance/demand of previous exercises
- Rotator cuff:
- ER and IR progressing from side of the body to 45 degrees to 90 degrees
- Standing flexion and abduction: 0-180 degrees with thumb up
Return to Activities
- Gradual return to previous activities
- Careful inclusion of overhead reaching
- Functional activity simulation
Outcomes/Prognosis
- Shoulder impingement/rotator cuff tendinitis is a complex problem
- Outcomes depend on:
- Cause of the problem
- Severity of the problem
- Patient's age
- Patient's dedication to the rehabilitation process
- Surgical intervention may be considered if conservative management fails
