I just retired from 37 years of building and maintaining MRI machines. I’ve always evaluated images based on image quality ( resolution/contrast range etc..) now I’m freshly recovering from a supraspinatus impingement and it’s very helpful to see those weighted images against pathology… Good video..thanks😊
i was so pissed to see kenhub providing half videos for free and required subscription to watch full video but then i found your channel and you're honestly goat.
Great video. I'm a bodybuilder and I have always followed the advice to warm up my rotator cuffs when doing any upper body training. Despite this I basically had no idea what they are! Luckily I have not had any issues or injuries in my 4 years of training.
Recently I was diagnosed with a full width full thickness tear measuring around 2 cm of the distal supraspinatus tendon. Doctor told me it was not going to heal on its own which by looking at the MRI I agreed and decided to do the surgery. It was painful of course but necessary if I had any chances of rising my right arm over my head again. The hardest part of the process is post-surgery re-hab. I am 6 months in, but it took about 4 months to get range of motions to about 80 percent. I am now slowly working on strength with the caution of not re-tearing it again. Still some soreness every now and then but minimum. Glad I made the decision to get it repaired.
This is of such great value. The animation per se is very helpful, but to also extract and show what an MRT and X-ray would look like is extraordinary work. Thanks a lot. Helped me to even understand this topic better even though I have already seen so many videos in this.
Thank you very much. Researching online for information as my symptoms from an injury continue to worsen. Unfortunately, much of the information was lacked your extensive explanations. Also I appreciate taking the time to understand your audience and speak in layman's terms.
I had a terrible torn rotator cuff from a really hard fall, whereas I could barely sleep for two months because of the constant excruciating pain, but I wanted to find a better way and I didn't want to take any painkillers, because of my stance on them. I found a highly qualified massage therapist that found the muscles and tendons, and so forth (tissue? ligaments?) were shortened and stuck together around my clavicle and triceps brachii, while also concentrated attention to the acromion ridge. There are lymph nodes in some of those places, like under the arm, that should not be overworked by massage so it's important to get someone who knows what they are doing. Along with this, I did an ancient Qi Gong, Ba Gua basic beginning exercise from a highly qualified master that I had learned years before, called, 'Serving Tea to the Master,' which involves moving scapula energy around, and I made a natural 100% quick recovery without any surgery or any other physical therapy. Wish I knew it from the onset avoiding the 2 month of agony and torment. I also used generous ice and arnica gel. This moving of the scapula energy, which can be achieved through other qigong, tai chi, and kung fu exercises and practices nicely, heals, treats, cures, and addresses a great many other maladies and injuries, including for the mind and the spirit. THE HEALER IS WITHIN!!
Great video. I had a MRI on my shoulder several years ago but my orthopedist pretty much refused to go over it with me. I'm wondering if surgeons understand them. The report from the radiologist was not definitive. Pretty frustrating. I don't think it's too much to ask to have a MRI explained. Thanks for the outstanding explanation.
ikr, they spend all that money getting the scan done, and then dont even explain to you the results and what they mean. they dont even provide you with the scan itself either. ridiculous.
This is absolutely AMAZING..!! I'm at 6 moths after my shoulder surgery, I just started swimming and feeling sore my neck, my trapezius and my upper chest have been sore for long long long time... with this video I understand why, because everything it's attached to the shoulder, my Surgeon says I just need to keep stretching, hang out of a pull up bar, any other suggestions to improve my soreness?
Thank you! I have a question, How can I get the humerus down again in a quite normal position? Whats the best muscle exercise for that goal and maybe what are the best stretch exercises aditionally? I've been having this problem of an impinchment for 4 Months now, already stretching chest and subscapularis, exercising for the strengthening the supraspinatus, but seems not to work perfectly.
With impingement, your daily activities and the configuration of the acromion are probably more of a factor then the position of the humeral head in the glenoid fossa. Daily activities involving a lot of overhead activities (i.e. painting, carpentry or swimming) move the greater tuberosity and the regional tendons towards the acromion and can result in repetitive trauma or impingement. In fact, impingement syndrome is also known as Swimmer's shoulder! This is especially true if you have a congenitally small sub acromial space due to a type III acromion that curves down towards the top of the humerus. While I would always encourage exercise to strengthen the joint, I would avoid a lot of overhead movements or exercises that may exacerbate your condition. You may also need to talk to an orthopedist to see if you have a congenitally small acromiohumeral space that would benefit from surgical revision. If the shoulder actually sit right under the acromion (loss of the acromiohumeral interval), you may actually have a chronic tear of the supraspinatus which would need repair to alleviate symptoms. Hope that helps!
Great.. well, this explains a lot about my injury.. Having a background in suspension and chassis brings me to the belief that the human body is just way too fragile.. yeah.. 4.5 months and I'm being sent for contrasting MRI.. This vid helps me understand the hows and why this thing hurts so much.. well duh.. Fracture has healed, range of motion not so much. Injuries like rotator, coupled with social distancing, and the fact I'm a 57 yr old work-o-holic, causes more mental stresses than anything else.. I am sooooo very bored.. Can't even get into the garage because my projects require use of both arms.. and seeing as how my dominant side is essentially shut down doesn't help. But the video helped a bunch!!!! Thanks for some clarification. I'm sure my Doc will explain further.. but I like immediate answers.. part of my personality disorder.. lol
Hi. 4 months ago I sustained massive injury where severed all 4 muscles off the cuff. I am increasing range now but need to start rebuilding the muscles. Do you have a video of exercises to work each of the muscles? Thank you

I have a winged scapula. Doctors have said you cannot dislocate your scapula, according to this video the ladomus Dorsey it's supposed to go over the tip of the scapula to keep it close to the rib cage. Obviously my scapula is not under the ladomus Dorsey . Is there any way to relocate the scapula back under the ladomus Dorsey? I did have an injury where I thrust my arm over the car seat to look behind the wall backing up oh, but I forgot to unhitch my shoulder strap before doing so. It was one of them old 1972 Ford Mavericks before they had the flexible shoulder strap. The seat belt shoulder strap was fixed solid in place. I heard a loud pop when I trust my arm over the seat to look behind me, to backup my car.
I now a great one. The one here I posted for the rotator cuff injury helps the neck also but I have even a better one for the neck. I need to do it again too. It's thousands of years old.
😳. THe best illustration of the RC... I just had my 3rd RC surgery. (2nd on my left shoulder, first was in 2004). Full repair of the infraspinatus and NO repair of the Full thickness tear of the Supraspatinus. Hoping the NON repair of the Supraspantis will not effect my golf swing !!?? It appears it wont since that muscle controls the raising of the arm (my left) and that action/motion is not involved in the swing
Actually any and all of the 4 tendons can be involved in a rotator cuff injury. Because of it's position, the Supraspinatus is the most commonly affected with the Teres Minor the least.
I'm two weeks post third rotator cuff repair (2nd on my right shoulder). Supraspinatus torn, subscapularis torn, and the long head of the bicep tendon basically "jumped the train tracks", as it were...in other words it sort of became dislocated from where it normally travels. So, in other words, it can be one or many of the rotator cuff complex that get damaged.
@@MrQuinnJames thanks dear Quinn James for sharing the useful information but at the same time it's really sad for you coming across this incidence. Pl take care of this important jt during any physical work involving this jt and after recovery do the jt strengthening exercises. I'll pray for your earliest recovery 🙏
Frozen shoulder is when the joint capsule becomes thickened and inflamed and possible adherent to the components of the rotator making movement very painful or impossible. Also known as adhesive capsulitis. Mild cases can sometimes be treated with an intra-articular injection of lidocaine and steroids but often times the shoulder needs to be forcibly manipulated in the OR under anesthesia to break up the adhesions and restore function. Does that make sense?
My arm felt a little out of place or running my boys school across the street in the summertime about five years ago 67 no no no I meant like a while ago.... Ultrasound showed Thierry and I don’t remember but finally got a what do you call that rotator cuff stabilizer after using that for over a year so often on and they’re not using it I think I have 100% healed awesome well I had to stop working out, gained 40 pounds yes, had a heart attack yeah yeah yeah yeah. AOK ♥️🇨🇦🌎
Great video! pectoralis minus do not flex the arm! he don´t insert in arm, only pectoris major... Stabilization is not a movement!!!!, the movements are flexion, extension, abuction...
Hello. I have been diagnosed with acromion type III. Is there a chance that this is a reversible condition with some kind of treatment instead of a surgery?
Acromion type only classifies the configuration or curvature of the acromion bone. Surgery is not necessary unless you're symptomatic and the resulting narrowed acromiohumeral interval is damaging the rotator cuff. Other than surgery, resting the shoulder and anti-inflammatory medications may temporarily alleviate symptoms but won't cure the problem.
@@DoctorKlioze Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately i have symptoms and the MRI showed that there is a narrowing of the subacromial space (6.1 mm). So i guess in my case, surgery is the best option?
@@michalispelides9571 Unfortunately, yes. 70% of patients with a rotator cuff tear have a type III acromion, 27% have a type II and only 3% have a type I. Also unfortunately is the fact that it may be bilateral eventually requiring surgery on the contralateral side as well.
