A little more health concerns, less disease concerns
Discussion often encounters rotator cuff injury, and patients come to consult: Can rotator cuff injury be performed functional exercise? If you can perform functional exercises, how should you perform functional exercises? In fact, whether rotator cuff injury can be performed for functional exercise depends on the degree of rotator cuff injury, and cannot be generalized. The best way to exercise for rotator cuff injury is to take appropriate methods and appropriate exercise at the right time, and carry out gradual exercise. Today we will mainly talk about how patients with conservative treatment of relatively mild rotator cuff injuries in the elderly can perform functional exercise.
Rotary cuff injury is generally mild in the early stage, and it is not completely torn at this time, so conservative treatment is performed. Therefore, under the guidance of a rehabilitator, you can perform step-by-step functional exercise, from passive exercise to active exercise, from partial weight to full weight bearing. However, for patients with rotator cuff injury, the exercise range should not be too large, otherwise the cleft of rotator cuff injury will become larger and larger, and eventually it will have to be treated surgically.
Rotary cuff injury is a tendon injury, which requires long-term exercise to recover. The specific methods are as follows:
. Small-scale activity: Hold the clothes rod in your hand, and help the affected hand to do small-scale activities through the healthy hand, perform activities within the range of painless ;
. Resistance exercise: Hold the elastic band in your hand, maintain the upper arm on one side at zero degree position, then bend the elbow to 90 degrees, do an internal and external rotation activity, maintaining a painless state;
3. Compound movement: You can do a slight push-up exercise on the wall to slowly raise the position of your hand.
If the rotator cuff injury does not fully recover in the early stage, the pain is more obvious, so you should mainly rest and do not exercise blindly, otherwise the symptoms will worsen. If the pain is relieved in the later stage, you can start to choose a method of equal length contraction of the shoulder joints to increase the strength of the surrounding muscles, but it cannot cause joint activity, which can prevent muscle atrophy and improve stability and will not induce pain. Later, after the symptoms are completely relieved, you can start mobility training, and restore the normal range of motion of the shoulder joint to prevent soft tissue adhesions.
In short, functional exercises for rotator cuff injury must be strictly guided by the doctor, and persist in exercising according to personalized exercise methods to achieve a relatively ideal effect.
