Rotator cuff syndrome - what does this mean

Rotator cuff syndrome occurs when the tendons and muscles of the shoulder become inflamed and irritated, leading to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. it can be caused by overuse, repetitive motion, or trauma, and can be treated with rest, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgery.

What happens during the disease - rotator cuff syndrome

Rotator cuff syndrome is caused by a combination of factors including repetitive overhead motions, direct trauma to the shoulder, and degeneration due to age. repetitive overhead motions cause the rotator cuff muscles and tendons to become overloaded and inflamed, leading to microtears in the tissue. direct trauma to the shoulder can cause a tear in the rotator cuff tendons or muscles, resulting in pain and impaired movement. finally, aging can lead to degeneration of the rotator cuff tendons and muscles, leading to pain and impaired movement.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

Physical exam to assess range of motion and strength of the shoulder muscles
X-ray imaging
MRI scan
Ultrasound scan
Electromyography (EMG) to measure electrical activity of the muscles
CT scan
Arthrography (injection of dye into the joint)

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce pain, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles and tendons of the shoulder.

Physical therapy exercises to improve range of motion and strength
Anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling
Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation
Ultrasound therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing
Heat or cold therapy to reduce pain and stiffness
Massage therapy to reduce pain and improve mobility
Surgery to repair the damaged tendons or muscles

9 Days of Hospitalization Required

Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established

Rotator cuff syndrome - Prevention

The best way to prevent rotator cuff syndrome is to maintain good posture and strength in the shoulder muscles through regular stretching and strengthening exercises. additionally, avoiding activities that involve repetitive overhead motions and using proper technique when lifting heavy objects can help reduce the risk of developing rotator cuff syndrome.
