Recurrent Stingers Case Study
- Jo Gibson discusses a young female rugby player with recurrent stingers.
- The patient experienced three stingers in one season, impacting arm strength and causing AC joint pain.
Stingers/Burners Overview
- Stingers/burners cause burning/stinging pain, often with paraesthesia and weakness.
- They typically affect C5-6, causing transient weakness in abduction, external rotation, and elbow flexion.
Mechanisms of Stinger/Burner Injuries
- Stinger/burner injuries have three main mechanisms: direct compression, brachial plexus traction, and nerve root compression.
- Direct compression often affects C5-6, causing transient deltoid, supraspinatus, and biceps weakness.
