Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of distal to proximal segmental sequencing and the kinetic chain in relation to thrower's shoulder injuries. They highlight various factors that can contribute to shoulder problems in throwers, including scapular weakness and dyskinesis, capsular contracture, dynamic posterior instability, internal impingement, SLAP lesions, and more. The speaker emphasizes the significance of examining the entire kinetic chain, from the toes to the fingertips, to identify any weak links and address them. They also mention the importance of assessing posture, balance, lower extremity strength and flexibility, core stability, and scapular position. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the need to understand and reestablish the kinetic chain and surgically address any pathologies that hinder its function.
