📌 Brachial Plexus Injury

🤓 The brachial plexus is a network of intertwined nerves that control movement and sensation in the arm and hand.

🔴 A traumatic brachial plexus injury involves sudden damage to these nerves, and may cause weakness, loss of feeling, or loss of movement in the shoulder, arm, or hand.

The brachial plexus begins at the neck and crosses the upper chest to the armpit. Injury to this network of nerves often occurs when the arm is forcibly pulled or stretched.

✅ Mild brachial plexus injuries may heal without treatment. More severe injuries may require surgery to regain function of the arm or hand.

👉 Surgical treatment is typically recommended when the nerves fail to recover on their own or fail to recover enough to restore necessary function to the arm and hand.

🤓 The menisci perform many essential biomechanical functions. These functions include

🔘 Load transmission
🔘 Shock absorption
🔘 Stability
🔘 Nutrition & joint lubrication
🔘 Proprioception

👉 They also serve to decrease contact stress and increase contact area and joint congruency.

⚠️ The knee would be deprived of all these functions if the meniscus removed.

💥 Therefore, in the knees without the meniscus, the impact and load are three times higher.

✅ it's always a better option to fix the meniscus if possible.

🔴 MOST COMMON SHOULDER CONDITIONS

Shoulder problems are not just due to injury and overuse. Chronic inflammation or lifestyle can all contribute to the symptoms associated with shoulder problems.

⚠️ Chronic shoulder conditions, if they are not treated properly, can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks.

Some of the common shoulder conditions are:

1️⃣ Osteoarthritis - When the bones rub together causing significant pain and swelling.

2️⃣ Rotator Cuff Disease - Caused by progressive wear and tear of the tendon tissue over time. Repetitive overhead activity or prolonged bouts of heavy lifting can irritate or damage the tendon.

3️⃣ Instability - Can happen as a result of a sudden injury, from overuse or from repetitive motions and that can lead to repeated shoulder dislocations.

4️⃣ Adhesive capsulitis (also known as frozen shoulder) - Is an inflammatory condition characterized by shoulder stiffness, pain, and significant loss of passive range of motion.

5️⃣ Tendonitis - is an inflammation of your rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon.
Bursitis - occurs when fluid builds up in bursae that cushion the space between bones and tissue.

🤔 WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE A SPECIALIST?

For shoulder joint pain:

🔻 There is sudden pain in your shoulder
🔻 You notice shoulder deformity
🔻 You can’t lift your arm away from your body
🔻 You have intense swelling
🔻 You felt a pop after a fall or injury

3 SIMPLE EXERCISES (NO EQUIPMENT) - STRENGTHEN

🤓 Having strong muscles in the hips can help improve range of motion and joint stability, improving daily activities and sports.

1️⃣ SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT
Start with feet shoulder-width apart and aligned with hips, slightly bend one leg and hinge the other leg backward while keeping it parallel (or nearly parallel) to the ground.

Stand back up, this counts as 1 repetition, do 2-3 sets of 12 on each leg.

2️⃣ SIDE LEG RAISE
By targeting the external abdominal muscles, outer glutes, and hips, this exercise will strengthen your muscle power and endurance.

Begin lying on your side with the bottom arm extended and the other hand on the hip.

Then, slowly lift the upper leg upward and lower it back down to the ground.

3️⃣ SINGLE LEG HIP BRIDGES
This movement is perfect for strengthening the lower back, glutes, and hips. Start lying on your back with one leg bent and the other extended, use the bent leg to lift the hips until the back and buttocks form a straight line.

Then, lower down and repeat. Ensure the pelvis does not rotate while lifting and that you're breathing as you lift. Do not arch your back! Make sure you maintain a straight pelvis.

Do 2 or 3 sets of 15 on each leg.

💪 ARTHROSCOPY

✅ Minimal INVASION
✅ Rapid RECOVERY

🤓 Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique, characterized by the introduction, through small incisions, of a camera (arthroscope) that allows complete visualization of the entire joint.

☝This type of surgical technique offers more and better visualization and maneuvering solutions than open surgery. Arthroscopy complications are minimal and recovery after arthroscopic surgery is faster and better.

👌 Arthroscopy is used to carry out both diagnosis and treatment of different shoulder injuries.

😃 I'll be happy to see you, give you a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment!

¿Is Weekend Warrior good?

💚 Current health recommendations call for 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise every week.

👍 Ideally, you’d spread your physical activity throughout the week.

🤝 But if you can only meet your weekly exercise targets by squeezing it all in during the weekend, you’re still doing your body some good.

Bodies are designed for movement. Being sedentary all week long could increase susceptibility to injury if you go too hard in your weekend workouts.

⚠ It is even more important for weekend warriors to make sure they are properly warming up and paying attention to form.

💪 4 EXERCISES - STRONG ELBOWS

Strong muscles around the elbow can help stabilize the joint and distribute forces more evenly during movements.

✅ Flexion and extension of the elbow with weights:

🔘 Sit on a chair with your back straight and a light weight in the affected hand.
🔘 Place the forearm on the thigh and let the hand hang off the edge of the knee.
🔘 Bend the elbow, lifting the weight towards the shoulder (flexion), and then fully extend the elbow.
🔂 Perform 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.

✅ Pronation and supination with a resistance band:

🔘 Attach a resistance band to a fixed point, such as a door or bar.
🔘 Grab the other end of the band with the affected hand, the elbow bent at 90 degrees, and the arm close to the body.
🔘 Rotate the forearm inward (pronation) and then outward (supination) against the resistance of the band.
🔂 Perform 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.

✅ Biceps strengthening exercise:

🔘 Sit or stand with your back straight and the affected arm extended in front of you.
🔘 Hold a light weight in your hand and bend the elbow, bringing the weight towards the shoulder.
🔘 Lower the weight slowly and return to the starting position.
🔂 Perform 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.

✅ Triceps strengthening exercise:

🔘 Sit on a chair with your back straight and the affected hand holding a light weight over your shoulder.
🔘 Extend the elbow, lifting the weight upward.
🔘 Lower the weight slowly behind your head by bending the elbow, then return to the starting position.
🔂 Perform 2 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.

☝Remember that gradual progression is essential to avoid injuries.
