“…Once the athlete is pain free through range of motion, the athlete is progressed through a series of shoulder strengthening and stabilization exercises such as the Thrower’s Ten, 21 or the Advanced Thrower’s Ten 22 programs. The authors of this article emphasize full body conditioning, including lower body strengthening, core stability, and cardiovascular training.…”

Elbow Joint Active Replication in College Pitchers Following Simulated Game Throwing

et al. 2010

Background:Elbow injuries are common in college baseball players. Pitching creates stress and fatigue in and around the elbow. Lack of joint proprioception can contribute to nonphysiological joint loading and injury.Hypothesis:There will be no difference in elbow joint active reproduction sense following a simulated 3-inning pitching sequence.Study Design:Cross-sectional study.Methods:Seventeen collegiate pitchers participated. Each pitcher was bilaterally tested for active elbow range of motion using goniometric technique. Percentages of motion determined positions for further study of elbow joint active replication sense (20%, 35%, 50%, 80%). The elbow was passively taken to a position and held for 10 seconds, then returned to full extension. Pitchers were asked to actively reproduce the angle. The opposite elbow was tested in the same manner. One week later, prethrowing joint position reproduction was tested; then a simulated 3-inning game was thrown. Immediately afterward, elbow joint active replication testing was performed. A repeated-measures analysis of variance analyzed differences.Results:No change in active joint reproduction occurred in the nondominant elbow at any angle tested. Dominant elbows demonstrated significant losses of active joint reproduction following throwing. Significant differences occurred at the 35% and 80% angles (P < .05).Conclusion:Active elbow joint replication sense may be compromised following 3 innings of throwing. Because joint proprioception is thought to be an important component of joint stabilization, an alteration in joint position sense may increase the risk of elbow injury during throwing.Clinical Relevance:Pitching may cause a loss of active elbow joint replication.

“…Conservative management of rotator cuff injuries should include a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Wilk et al [ 36 ] have extensively reported on shoulder rehabilitation for the throwing athlete with many of the same principles applied to all types of athletes with varying patterns of rotator cuff injury. A recent review by Edwards et al [ 37 ] provided an evidence-based 4-phase exercise protocol for conservative management of rotator cuff injury.…”

Partial-thickness rotator cuff tears: a review of current literature on evaluation and management

2024

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Rotator cuff disease is a common cause of shoulder pain for which partial thickness rotator cuff tears occupy a significant proportion. Such tears are often difficult to diagnose and manage in the general clinic setting. A review of the available literature from well-known databases was performed in this study to provide a concise overview of partial thickness rotator cuff tears to aid physicians in their understanding and management.
