Background: Shoulder injuries are prevalent among fast bowlers due to repetitive high-velocity overhead movements commonly resulting in rotator cuff tears, superior labrum anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesions and shoulder impingement. These injuries affect both physical function and psychological readiness, posing challenges in return-to-sport outcomes.
Case Presentation: This case study reports the rehabilitation of a 30-year-old male professional fast bowler who presented with a Grade 2C rotator cuff tear, SLAP tear and signs of shoulder impingement confirmed by MRI. The athlete underwent arthroscopic repair followed by a structured 12-week rehabilitation program.
Intervention: The rehabilitation protocol was delivered in three progressive phases focusing on pain management, range of motion restoration, scapular and rotator cuff strengthening and sport-specific drills. Psychological readiness was concurrently addressed using the Injury Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport Scale.
Outcome Measures: Outcomes were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), I-PRRS, Range of Motion (ROM) and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT). Assessments were conducted at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks postoperatively.
Results: The athlete demonstrated significant improvements in pain, function (SPADI: 72% to 9%), and psychological readiness (I-PRRS: 38 to 92). ROM improved to near-normal values, and MMT scores increased from Grade 3 to 5. The athlete successfully returned to competitive bowling without complications.
Conclusion: A multidimensional, phased rehabilitation program that integrates physical and psychological recovery strategies can effectively restore shoulder function and performance in elite fast bowlers’ post-surgery. This case underscores the importance of individualized, sport specific rehabilitation in overhead athletes.
