The document discusses bicep tears, including causes such as overlifting or falling on an outstretched arm. Treatment options include ice, anti-inflammatory medications, rest, and rehabilitation exercises. Surgery is rarely needed but may help with complete recovery of strength. Prevention methods include maintaining strength in the shoulder, elbow, and forearm muscles and limiting repetitive overhead lifting over 150 pounds. Rehabilitation follows a timeline starting with passive exercises and progressing to active range of motion and resistance exercises over 8-12 weeks.
