Biceps tendon ruptures can be divided into two types; proximal (upper) and distal (lower). A proximal biceps tendon rupture is an injury in which the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder joint partially or completely ruptures. In many cases, this injury is visible as it can cause the biceps muscle in the upper arm to slip downwards. This can lead to a visible depression or dent in the upper arm. However, it is important to note that in most cases, power transmission remains largely unchanged despite this injury. This is because the biceps muscle is connected to the shoulder via two tendons. Nevertheless, the injury can lead to pain, weakness and limited mobility of the arm. Muscle tension in the biceps and surrounding muscles is also typical. A distal rupture of the biceps tendon is an injury in which the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the forearm partially or completely ruptures. As a result, the biceps muscle can no longer be properly connected to the forearm, leading to pain, weakness and limited arm function. This also leads to tension in the biceps and surrounding muscles.

While proximal biceps tendon ruptures can usually be treated conservatively, distal ruptures usually require surgical measures. In both cases, the Calopad can be applied to the biceps muscle and the surrounding areas. The deep heat stimulates the blood supply to the muscle, helping it to release tension and minimize pain.

The Calopad Care Abo combines passive heat treatment with active therapies, such as muscle building, to ensure comprehensive treatment.
