Physiotherapy for patients with rotator cuff lesion
PLÍHAL, Lukáš
I chose "Physiotherapy for Patients with Rotator Cuff Lesion" as a topic of the theses. This topic was chosen because I was interested in indispensable function of rotator cuff to stability and total shoulder joint functionality. Moreover, it is relatively often disorder of shoulder joint and that is why I wanted to complete my knowledge in this area. In the theoretical part I am focusing on the proper function of shoulder joint altogether. Following chapters in this part are explaining kinesiology of shoulder joint, clinical units of rotator cuff lesion and subsequent options of physiotherapy. In the practical part I am dealing with the quality research, where I look into the sample of three patients. Two of these patients were affected by rupture of rotator cuff, which was treated by operation, the last patient suffered from impingement syndrome. At the beginning the patient was physically examined. This was followed by eight therapies which were mainly focused on improving movement and muscle strength in shoulder joint. Patients affected by rupture were examined after six months after the surgery. The patient with impingement syndrome was examined after two weeks after the last therapy. According to results it is significant that there was improvement in movement and muscle strength in shoulder joint for all of the patients. The theses can be used by professional public, physiotherapists, possibly by students of physiotherapy for getting basic knowledge about rotator cuff, its pathology or possible physiotherapy procedures.
