BEST SLAP LESION PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT IN NEW FRIENDS COLONY-PHYSIONAUTICS What is a SLAP Lesion? A Superior Labrum Anterior and Posterior (SLAP) lesion is an injury to the shoulder’s glenoid labrum, which is a fibrocartilaginous structure that enhances joint stability. This type of injury typically occurs at the top part of the labrum where the biceps tendon attaches. SLAP lesions can arise from acute trauma, such as falls or repetitive overhead activities common in sports. Types of SLAP Lesions SLAP lesions are classified into four types: Type 1Degenerative fraying without detachment. Type 2 Detachment of the labrum and biceps tendon from the glenoid rim. Type 3 A bucket-handle tear with an intact biceps tendon. Type 4A bucket-handle tear that extends into the biceps tendon. Symptoms and Diagnosis Patients with SLAP lesions often report pain, particularly during overhead movements, along with sensations of clicking or popping in the shoulder. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations using specific tests like O’Brien’s test and imaging studies such as MRI arthrograms to confirm the presence and type of lesion. Physiotherapy Management Initial management for most SLAP lesions is conservative. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation by focusing on: • Pain Management: Utilizing modalities like ice therapy and anti-inflammatory medications. • Strengthening Exercises: Targeting rotator cuff muscles and scapular stabilizers to enhance shoulder stability. • Range of Motion Exercises: Gradually restoring normal shoulder motion while avoiding aggravating activities.
