AI Article Synopsis

  • The rotator cuff muscles are vital for shoulder stability and movement, and a case study focused on a 62-year-old woman with left shoulder pain highlights the importance of physical rehabilitation in managing this condition.
  • The physical therapy program aimed to treat rotator cuff syndrome, improve range of motion, and support long-term recovery through a combination of stretching, strengthening exercises, and patient education.
  • The results showed that the patient's mobility improved and discomfort decreased, demonstrating the effectiveness of a tailored, multimodal approach to chronic shoulder pain rehabilitation.

Article Abstract

Rotator cuff (RC) muscles give the shoulder joint stability in addition to movement. The case report outlines the physical rehabilitation therapy, condition evaluation, and diagnostic testing that was given to a 62-year-old female field worker who had been complaining of pain in her left shoulder. To improve functional mobility and lessen discomfort, the patient underwent physiotherapy. In this instance, a physical therapy program was put in place to treat rotator cuff syndrome (RCS), enhance range of motion (ROM), and promote long-term recovery. Part of the assessment included a detailed examination of the biomechanics and potential mitigating variables for the persistent problems. The intervention plan's multimodal approach comprised physical therapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises, as well as patient counseling and health management education. Throughout the physiotherapy sessions, the patient's functional mobility improved and their level of discomfort gradually decreased. This case adds to the body of knowledge regarding successful physiotherapy techniques for RC injuries by emphasizing the value of a comprehensive approach to help patients with chronic shoulder pain achieve favorable outcomes. It also highlights how crucial it is to treat chronic RCS with a customized physical therapy program that takes into account the patient's unique preferences and characteristics that can exacerbate the problem.
