Here is a gentleman with a massive rotator cuff tear. He has all of the classic signs which are:
Severe weakness with flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation
Less pain than typical smaller rotator cuff tears
Positive bear hug and belly press tests
Positive drop arm test and empty can test
This injury was caused by a fall on the ice and with a shoulder dislocation.
Our goals at this stage are to prevent a frozen shoulder and prepare for a reverse total shoulder. Activate the deltoids, lats, scapular stabilizers. Strengthen the forearm, wrist and fingers.
