3. Introduction
Shoulder injuries are frequent in martial arts
Subacromial impingement
Aggravating injury
Little sportspecific evidence literature review
4. Introduction
Evidence impingement
Sports analyses of MMA
Experience with MMA
Identification of general + sportspecific risk factors
Sportspecific prevention plan
5. Introduction

13. Who is at risk ?
Basic thought: every MMA athlete is at risk
Integrated prevention
But: who will benefit from specific care?
Screening + training observation
General risk
Specific risk
14. Who is at risk ?
Specific screening
Evaluation of
How to evaluate
Scapular dyskinesis
Static and dynamic inspection
Dynamic inspection, with SAT
Possible clues: Medial rotation test
Glenohumeral instability
Apprehension-, Relocation-, Releasetest
Shoulder laxity
Sulcus sign
Anterior drawer test
General screening
Evaluation of
How to evaluate
Pectoralis Minor length
Determination Pectoralis Minor Index (PMI)
Trained muscle imbalance
Specific muscle testing with HHD
15. Pectoralis Minor Index (PMI)
Athlete in supine position
Distance coracoid – caudal edge 4th rib (cm) / height (cm)
< 7.66 shortened
16. Hand Held Dynamometer (HHD)
Middle Trapezius
Prone position
Horizontal abduction + external rotation
Shoulder abducted to 90°
Pressure applied at wrist, at lateral aspect radius
Lower Trapezius
Likewise, BUT shoulder abducted to 145°
Serratus Anterior
Supine position
Arm in 90° forward flexion protraction
Pressure at palm of the hand, towards table
17. Scapular Assistance Test (SAT)
Active elevation of the arm
Frontal plane - Lateral plane - Scapular plane
Examiner manually follows scapular movement
How does the scapula move?
Any irregularities?
Is there any discomfort?
Relief when manually assisted?
18. Apprehension, relocation, release
Supine position
3 phases of testing
1: external rotation (+ anterior translation)
2: posterior translation
3: release posterior translation
Only proceed when preceding phase was positive
Positive test
Apprehension
Pain
19. Medial Rotation Test (MRT)
Supine position
Arm 90° abducted, elbow 90° flexed
Humerus in scapular plane
Palpation coracoid & humerus
60° of active internal rotation
Neutral position scapula & GH joint
Positive test
Forward tilt
Elevation
20. Sulcus sign
Seated
Check for distance acromion-humeral head
While pulling arm downward
Positive test
Abnormal laxity
21. Anterior drawer test
Seated
Fixation of the acromion
Check for amount of movement
While pushing humeral head forward
Positive test
Abnormal laxity
23. Implementation
Brief information session + conversation trainers
Clarify problem
Usefulness of prevention
Implementation of prevention in training
MMA training + individual powertraining
Cooperation trainers
Individual guidance, if needed
Positive specific screening/history shoulder injury
24. Exercises
Exercises for each specific problem area
Closely associated
Overlap
During group training if possible
Short session before or after training
Individual treatment programma
26. What is the SIP-chart?
