Rotproblemen

Rotproblemen, also known as shoulder blade problems or scapular problems, refer to a range of issues that affect the scapula, also known as the shoulder blade. The scapula is a complex joint that plays a crucial role in various movements of the upper limb, including lifting, carrying, and throwing.

Common issues that fall under the category of rotproblemen include injuries such as strains and sprains, as well as conditions like scapular dyskinesis, which is characterized by abnormal movement of the scapula. Other conditions that may be classified as rotproblemen include scapulothoracic joint disorders, such as scapulorrhea and thoracic outlet syndrome.

Rotproblemen can be caused by a variety of factors, including repetitive motion, poor posture, and direct trauma. For example, individuals who engage in activities that involve repetitive overhead movements, such as throwing sports or heavy lifting, may be at increased risk of developing rotproblemen. Additionally, people with a history of shoulder injuries or those with underlying conditions such as scoliosis or kyphosis may also be more susceptible to scapular problems.

Symptoms of rotproblemen may include pain and stiffness in the shoulder or upper back area, as well as limited range of motion. Treatment for rotproblemen typically involves a combination of conservative measures, such as physical therapy and pain management, as well as modifications to daily activities to avoid exacerbating the condition. In some cases, more invasive treatments, such as surgery, may be recommended to address underlying joint damage or structural issues.
