2 Shoulder problems in overhead athletes Multidirectional Instability of the Shoulder Common 25-60% Due to subtle instability, overuse and fatigue Average college swimmer performs > 1 million strokes annually with each arm 90% complaints - shoulder pain Elite tennis players achieve rotational velocities 1500 O /sec (serve) 387 O /sec (f/hand) 895 O /sec (b/hand) serve and smash pain (Kibler, 1995) Glenohumeral joint Limited passive stability 25-35% of humeral head in contact with the glenoid cavity congruent geometry of surfaces plus negative intra-articular pressure allows a suction-like effect increasing passive joint stability Active stabilisers allow only a few millimeters of translation to occur Passive constraints Passive Constraints - Resting Position Passive Constraints Dynamic Situations Glenoid orientation Superior glenohumeral ligament Gravity 2

3 Dynamic Control - Muscles Biomechanics Superficial - deltoid, clavicular head pectoralis major, coracobrachialis, long head biceps, long head triceps Deep - rotator cuff muscles Remote - latissimus dorsi, sternal head pectoralis major, teres major Overhead activities - tennis, pitching over 50% of total force & kinetic energy is from the leg/hip/trunk link only 13% of total energy & 20% total force comes from shoulder musculature shoulder musculature stabilises rather than generates motion Shoulder problems in overhead athletes Hypothesis Forceful and repetitive nature of overhead activities microtrauma to anterior Full notes capsule anterior available shift after purchase from of humeral head change rotational arc inc ER and dec IR Anatomical abnormalities Encroachment from above Impingement with exercise Poor scapular control Inferior movement of acromion Narrowing of subacromial space Anterior instability Anterosuperior migration of humeral head Swelling of rotator cuff tendon Excessive load on rotator cuff muscles Rotator cuff weakness Imbalance between humeral head elevators and depressors Elevation of humeral head Rotator cuff tendonitis Instability Overuse Abnormal biomechanics Posterior capsule tightness?? Factors involved in the development of ishoulder injuries. Adapted from Brukner & Khan 1993 Shoulder impingement Occurs when the space is narrowed between the A/C joint, acromion and coracoacromial arch above and the glenohumeral joint below Causes mechanical irritation of the rotator cuff tendons haemorrhage and swelling Khan K 2007 Causes of impingement encroachment from above e.g. congenital abnormalities or osteophyte formation swelling of the rotator Slides cuff tendons, are limited. usually an overuse tendonitis - faulty biomechanics excessive translation of the humeral head - chronic anterior instability 3

4 Shoulder problems rarely due to hypomobility of the glenohumeral joint, but due to hypermobility. shoulder Thoracic PREVIEW spine ONLY lumbar spine ical spine shoulder lumbar sp Thoracic sp shoulder lumbar spine shoulder shoulder Full notes available after Thoracic purchase spine from lumbar spine shoulder Thoracic lumbar spine shoulder spine lumbar spi oracic spine shoulder lumbar spine shoulder lumbar spine Thoracic lumbar spine spine? Thoracic Spine Mobility bilateral shoulder flexion induces spinal extension unilateral shoulder flexion Slides is are accompanied limited. by contralateral side flexion of the spine middle and lower trapezius reinforce spine extensors in maintaining spine extension Causes of subtle instability in athletes Elite overhead athletes exhibit restricted internal rotation increased external rotation in throwing arm? scapular dyskinesis? humeral retrotorsion? tight posterior capsule if limitation IR > the gains ER by >10% of the contralateral side (GIRD) Scapular dyskinesis Glenoid orientation Superior glenohumeral ligament Gravity 4

5 Intensity and timing of muscle contraction is essential around the shoulder Humeral retroversion Repetitive throwing causes torsional stresses within the proximal physis adaptive remodelling These humeral notes retroversion are a preview. A retroverted humeral head (9.4 o > non throwing arm) decreased strain on the anterior-inferior capsule Throwers with chronic shoulder pain have less humeral retrotorsion more strain on their anterior capsules during overhead activities... develop chronic shoulder pain Anterior translation of the humeral head tight posterior capsule? Throwers show a loss of horizontal flexion or cross-body adduction in the throwing shoulder when compared with the non-throwing shoulder hypothesis of posterior capsule and/or cuff musculature tightness No evidence of reactive scarring or contractures of the posterior-inferior capsule or cuff musculature from anatomic or noninvasive imaging studies (Borsa et al 2008)?Problem with the starting position 5

6 The effect of tape on glenohumeral rotation range of motion in elite junior tennis players 11 male (mean age 16.8) and 10 female (mean age 14.9) elite junior tennis players Two measurements of passive ER and IR ROM using a universal goniometer with an attached spirit-level on the non dominant side Two measurements of passive ER and IR ROM on the dominant side under three randomly ordered conditions Control Tape Placebo Tape Effect of hand dominance on rotation ROM in elite junior tennis players Internal rotation ROM decreased in the dominant arms c/w non dominant in males (42 o to 53 These o ) notes are a preview. decreased in females (44 Slides o to 58 are o ) limited. External rotation ROM Increased in the dominant arm of the females (92 o to 85 o ) no difference between dominant & non dominant arms in the males (94 o to 91 o ) Total rotation ROM Decreased in male group (136 o to146 o ) Slight trend in female group (135 o to 143 o ) McConnell J McIntosh B, Clinical Journal Sports Medicine 2008 Results effect of tape An investigation into the effect of glenohumeral taping on uninjured and previously injured overhead athletes during throwing Is there a difference in passive and active shoulder rotation ROM between uninjured and previously injured? Subjects 26 elite asymptomatic overhead athletes 17 never been injured 9 previously injured > 12 months (no surgery) Method: Passive Measured in supine with a goniometer Active upper limb and trunk kinematics of a seated throw measured with a VICON system and scaled in OpenSim full-cock ball-release zero-elbow velocity A B C McConnell J, Donnelly C, Hamner S, Dunne J, Besier T, PMR
