2023 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Management of Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses rotator cuff tendinopathy and how to monitor and define successful treatment. They explain that resistance exercise is a common treatment studied, and present findings from a cohort study of 140 people over six months. The participants divided into three subgroups, with some showing improvement in self-report outcome measures, while others did not. The speaker also discusses the mechanistic model of tendinopathy, including mechanical overload, neuromuscular deficits, tendon structural deficits, and psychological factors. They then discuss the possibility of tendon compression within the subacromial space and posterior superior impingement. The speaker concludes by discussing measurement techniques for tendon thickness and micromorphology, as well as altered neuromuscular performance.
