The shoulder in sports.

R H Cofield, W T Simonet

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |March 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Understanding shoulder injuries in athletes requires analyzing sports mechanics and physical condition. This approach aids in diagnosing and managing common shoulder problems like rotator cuff injuries and joint instability.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Many upper extremity sports share movement patterns.
    • Understanding these movements is key to addressing shoulder issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a rational plan for investigating and managing shoulder problems in athletes.
    • To highlight common sports-related shoulder injuries and their treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of sports mechanics and training methods.
    • Physical examination assessing flexibility, strength, endurance, and inflammation.
    • Review of common shoulder pathologies.

    Main Results:

    • Common injuries include acromioclavicular joint damage, glenohumeral instability, and rotator cuff pathology.
    • Sports like baseball, swimming, and tennis frequently cause shoulder problems.
    • Evaluation integrates biomechanics, training, and physical assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive approach combining sports analysis and physical evaluation is crucial for shoulder problem management.
    • Treatment options range from rest and technique modification to physical rehabilitation, with surgery being optional.
