THE METHODICS OF POSTTRAUMATIC SHOULDER REHABILITATION IN ATHLETES (CASE STUDY)

Abstract

The rehabilitation of the posttraumatic shoulder requires a complex treatment, which demands the implication of several specialists (specialized physician, radiologist, kinesiotherapist). The patient himself plays an important role: he has to be cooperative, active; he must understand the therapeutic act and respect all the indications of the specialists. The upper limb often suffers traumatisms, more serious and more frequent in certain sports branches.The functional rehabilitation – through adequate kinesiotherapeutic means and methods, methodically and systematically applied, within an optimal time frame – will recover the patient’s usual gestures for the respective segment; his social and professional reintegration will also occur as soon as possible.
