BANKART LESION EXERCISES POST OP WEEKS 0 6

Описание: A Bankart lesion is a tear of the shoulder labrum and capsule which often occurs when the shoulder is dislocated.

Surgery is usually needed and after surgery. Rehabilitation is typically broken down into 3 phases: the immediate post operative phase, the intermediate post-operative phase and the advanced phase. In this video, I demonstrate that exercises that I give my patients who are in the first phase, the immediate post-operative phase.

The first post-operative phase of rehab typically lasts for 6 weeks. The focus of this phase is to minimize motion and strength loss while the newly repaired tissue is easily re-injured and needs to be protected.
To avoid stressing the repaired tissue excessively, it is important that that patient's activity level and range of motion be restricted. For about the first -34 weeks after surgery (depending on patient specifics) patients should wear a sling 24/7). No heavy lifting or carrying. Stay within specific range of motion limits to avoid overstressing repaired tissue:
No active reaching forward for 3 weeks, gradually work toward about 115 degrees at 6 weeks
No passive range of motion into flexion (forward reaching) greater than 90 degrees for 3 weeks, progressing to 130 at 6 weeks
No external rotation of the shoulder greater than 30 degrees for 3 weeks, progressing to 45 degrees at 6 weeks
No lifting or carrying with the hurt arm

These restrictions cause a fair amount of inconvenience, but it is necessary to allow the repaired tissue to heal properly.
