Terry Trundle – Scapulothoracic & Scapulohumeral Stabilization: Evidence-Based Exercises for a Healthy Rotator Cuff
Description
What are the evidence-based clinical concepts that apply to multi-pathology of the shoulder? Is scapula stabilization the true core of the upper extremity?
This course will reveal the most updated exercise techniques for restriction repositioning and protraction as well as discuss of use of pre-functional mobility to prepare for EMG-based muscle recruitment. Return to work with progressive exercises for the development of the healthy rotator cuff.
Target Audience
- Occupational Therapists
- Occupational Therapy Assistants
- Physical Therapist
- Physical Therapist Assistants
- Massage Therapists
- Athletic Trainers
- Personal Trainers
Objectives
- Determine whether scapula stabilization is the true core of the upper extremity
- Demonstrate positional muscle recruitment for scapula-cuff stabilization
- Describe evidence-based exercises for the development of healthy rotator cuff
Outline
DETERMINE WHETHER SCAPULA SABILIZATION IS THE TRUE CORE OF THE UPPER EXTREMITY

- Manual preparation glides of the S-T and G-H joints
- Review the function of the trapezius
DEMONSTRATE POSITIONAL MUSCLE RECRUITMENT FOR SCAPULAR-CUFF STABILIZATION
- Review retraction and protraction concepts with periscapular exercises
- Cause of shoulder hike dysfunction and how to correct this
- Update on EMG levels of muscle recruitment
EXPLORE EVIDENCE-BASED EXERCISES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEALTHY ROTATOR CUFF
