INJURIES MANAGEMENT IN BADMINTON
Some common injuries due to the explosive nature of badminton are:

1. LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS (Tennis Elbow) Inflammation of the forearm extensors causing outer elbow and upper forearm pain and tenderness. It is caused by repetitive stress at the muscle-tendon junction.

Management:
1. Rest, ice after playing badminton;
2. Wrist flexion stretches and gentle eccentric loading exercises of the wrist extensors;
3. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be beneficial for short-term relief;
4. Use of a support, such as an epiclasp;
5. Physiotherapy can include ultrasound, laser, soft tissue release, deep frictions, strapping and acupuncture. If these treatments do not settle symptoms, a local steroid injection may be required.

2. SHOULDER INJURIES a) Impingement – Pain and often weakness when you raise your arm caused by a muscle tendon ‘catching’ in your shoulder. Due to the repetitive overhead action involved in smashing or overhead clearances in badminton, this can be a very common injury.
b) Rotator cuff injury – Inflammation or damage to one or more of the muscles, tendons or bursa (fluid-filled sac) that make up the rotator cuff.
Your rotator cuff is made up of a group of four muscles (the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor) and their tendons. They help keep your shoulder joint stable and also help with shoulder movements.

Management:
1. Rest initially and limit activities that involve lifting your arm over your head and stop movements that cause pain;
2. Gentle shoulder stretches and rotator cuff strength exercises, which your physiotherapist can

    I chose the rotator cuff because it is a very important set of muscles that lets us move our shoulders and do many day to day things. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that attach to the bones of the shoulder joint, which allows the shoulder to move and also keep it stable. The four muscles that make up the rotator cuff are the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and the Subscapularis. These hold the head of the humerus into the scalpula. Injuries to the rotator cuff are very common.…

    Essay On Rotator Cuff

    • 1345 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that work together to stabilize the shoulder while connecting the humerus to the scapula. The four muscles include the Teres minor, Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, and Subscapularis. A cuff around the humerus is formed from the tendons of these four muscles. While lying below the scapular spine, the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles are in charge of externally rotating the shoulder. Teres minor is initiated more when the arm is abducted to 90 degrees while the infraspinatus acts when the arm is in neutral. The supraspinatus is in charge of initiating abduction and works during the whole range of abduction of the shoulder. This muscle also lies under the scapular plane. On the other hand, the subscapularis muscle is in charge of internal rotation of the shoulder. It is also the strongest and largest muscle of the rotator cuff. Tears to any of these muscles may result in a loss of function of the shoulder as well as excruciating pain for the patient.…

    It's one of the darkest fears of pitchers, tennis players, and many other athletes: a rotator cuff tear. If it is severe, a rotator cuff tear can end a player's career. So what is it, exactly? The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons and muscles that converge around the shoulder joint at the top of the humerus, the upper arm bone above the elbow. Together, they form a ''cuff'' that both holds your arm in place and allows it to move in different directions. While your shoulder is one of your most mobile joints, it's also somewhat weak. Too much stress -- or too many fastballs -- can cause partial tears and swelling in the tendons of the rotator cuff. Abrupt stress may even cause one of the tendons to pull away from the bone or tear in the…

    A rotator cuff repair becomes necessary when a patient has unbearable pain, cannot sleep through the night, and has limited shoulder and arm mobility. The goal of this procedure is to reattach the torn muscles of the rotator cuff to the humerus. The rotator cuff is composed of four tendons that attach to the humerus and are continuous of four muscles that originate at the scapula. Each muscle has a name – supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus, and the teres minor, and any of these muscles can be damaged. “A rotator cuff tear usually occurs where the supraspinatus tendon inserts into the humerus. The injury can be superficial or can involve the entire tendon. Degenerative conditions,…

    Supraspinatus tendonitis or painful arc syndrome is an inflammation of a fibrous connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone, tendons. The reason supraspinatus tendonitis is known as painful arc syndrome is because inflammation in the supraspinatus tendon causes a painful arc. The muscle it affects is located on the back of the shoulder that emerge from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula into the top of the greater tubercle of the humerus or the supraspinatus muscle.The supraspinatus muscles located under the acromion, flat in appearance, approximately a quarter inch in width, about one inch long, help lift the arm upward in an arc. It is the muscle that allows you to move your arm away from the side of your body up to about fifteen…

    If the angle of rebound equals the angle of incidence, it will be realized that firmness of grip is an important factor in the direction taken by the struck ball.3 The firmness of the grip is a technical point for increasing the speed of the ball as it rebounds of the racket.4 When considering the inefficient motions and positions of various joints from a biomechanical aspect, the outcome can be detrimental to the speed and spin of the ball and may also be a cause of increased injury.12 Repetitive eccentric forearm muscle actions may be the primary cause of tennis elbow. Elbow kinetics of the forehand stroke has a pattern for player to produce a flexion torque throughout the swing. The rapid rotation of the trunk and upper arm makes the elbow joint extend causing the flexor muscles to contract as they try to control and maintain the position of the arm with the elbow slightly fixed. The torque is generated largest at the elbow. The upper arm is both horizontally adducted and externally rotated which causes the forearm and racket hand segments to lag behind. The combination of torques produces large forces on the medial side of the elbow and later side of the elbow joint. Tennis elbow is greater in players who play with a more bent elbow technique. Medial elbow tendinous is a condition that many tennis…
