Shoulder joint development

The development of the shoulder joint is a component of rehabilitation or restorative medicine. It includes recovery after injuries to the shoulder joint, restoration of the joint after operations. Also, joint development is necessary for acute arthritis and acute arthrosis.

Developing a shoulder joint after a fracture

In this case, the need to restore the shoulder joint is due to the fact that the vital functions are performed by the shoulder, being the "key" for the function of the hand, and the treatment of fractures involves a long absence of movement in the shoulder area. This leads to atrophy of the shoulder muscles, impaired circulation and disruption of normal metabolism in the hands. The absence of measures for the development of the shoulder joint can lead to a disruption in the functions of the hand.

Joint development after fracture in the course of treatment occupies an important place, the same as the fixation of a damaged limb. Normally, the shoulder joint is considered the most movable joint of the body and the motion is carried out in it in all planes, with a fracture, the development of the shoulder joint is necessary to restore all functions in order to maximize the mobility of the joint.

For the development of the shoulder, special sets of exercises with auxiliary objects and with assistance are assigned, which contribute to a smooth and gradual increase in the volume and amplitude of movements. The complex of exercises is selected only by a specialist. Also, when developing the shoulder joint after a given injury, physiotherapy, massage, etc. are used.

Development( restoration) of the shoulder joint after a dislocation

The development of the shoulder after the dislocation consists in the use of physiotherapy, massages, special exercises.

Rehabilitation exercises are prescribed by a doctor immediately after soft tissue swelling subsides and severe pain passes.

The goal of curative gymnastics is, as in the previous case, the restoration of the range of movements, as well as the strength of the muscles, which ensure the stability of the joint. Begin the development of the joint always with light exercises, to improve muscle tone, and only then include workouts with weights.

The main attention is paid to the muscles in the anterior dislocations of the shoulder, which stabilize the head in the anteroposterior direction( mainly short rotators), while the lower ones - the muscles that prevent the head from sliding down( this supine and long biceps head).Amplification of the amplitude of movements that accompany the stretching of the injured part of the joint capsule itself( with anterior dislocations - this is a turn of the shoulder outward and extension of the shoulder, and with the lower one - withdrawal), in no case can it be forced. Avoid also passive broad-amplitude violent movements in the joint of the shoulder and the vises on the arms.

If the dislocation of the shoulder goes into a chronic condition, it shows the wearing of braces( bandages, special fixatives).Also, the development of the shoulder joint is effective in a pool with warm water, performing special exercises.

Development of arthrosis and arthritis of the shoulder joint

With acute arthritis or advanced arthrosis, the capabilities of a person are significantly reduced. But the rejection of movements can lead only to the further development of the disease. Therefore, for the development of the shoulder joint, regular special exercises should be practiced regularly. The principle of performing the exercises is the following: low frequency of movements, minimal amplitude and complete relaxation of muscles. Exercises are performed while sitting, with some indications lying down.

The first exercise for developing the shoulder joint is performed while sitting. Put your hands on your knees or on the table. It is necessary to relax the shoulders and muscles of the hands. The meaning is the following: easy rocking elbows inside and out. The amplitude of the movements is about 2 cm.

The next exercise is lifting and lowering the shoulders. The amplitude of the movements is no more than 2 cm.

The next one is to make slight movements with the shoulders back and forth.

The next exercise is the rotation of the shoulders with the minimum amplitude of motion. Many make the mistake, during the exercise of this exercise gradually the shoulders "bully" up. To avoid this, you should relax as much as possible, keep control until you develop a stable habit.

In addition to the exercises in the development, an external impact on the joint is required. But you can not work it out yourself, so you need the help of someone close to you.
