Filter by:A prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled 51 patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome and mild stiffness. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the glenohumeral injection group (Group GH) or the subacromial injection group (Group SA). After the final follow-up, 48 patients (24 in each group) were included for analysis Using ultrasound guidance, a solution containing 1mL of triamcinolone, 4mL of 1% lidocaine, and 7mL of 0.9% normal saline was injected into either the glenohumeral or the subacromial space. The following assessments were conducted at baseline and during follow-up visits at weeks 3, 7, and 13: ROM measurements for forward elevation, external rotation, and internal rotation; clinical scores including VAS, ASES, and Constant.
The goal of this clinical trial is to the effects of kinesio tape application on pain, edema, range of motion and functionality . The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does kinesiotape application reduce pain and edema and improve quality of life in the early period in individuals undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair? - Does kinesiotape application provide early restoration of functional activity level in individuals undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair? Participants will receive kinesiotaping in addition to traditional physiotherapy programs. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare kinesiotape group, shamtape group and control group to see if kinesiotaping.
Shoulder pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem after spine and knee complaints. Rotator cuff injuries (RCI) are the most common cause of shoulder pain. RCI includes a wide spectrum from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) to chronic tendinopathy, partial and total ruptures of the rotator cuff. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) for various musculoskeletal problems. Cupping therapy, which is one of the most commonly used TCM methods, is one of the oldest medical applications with thousands of years of history. Although it is thought to be effective in many diseases, there are not enough studies in the literature about its effectiveness and mechanism of action. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effects of moving dry cupping therapy on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality and quality of life in RCI.
To investigate the effect of shoulder exercise using a selected suspension system exercise program on pain, disability, functional performance and proprioception in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
shoulder sub acromial impingement syndrome is an encroachment of subacrormial tissues, rotator cuff, subacrormial bursa, and the long head of the biceps tendon, as a result of narrowing of the subacrormial space. Activities requiring repetitive or sustained use of the arms over head often predispose the rotator cuff tendon to injury. Hence the objective of the study is to examine the influence of extra corporeal Shock wave versus phonophoresis on pain severity and functional disability in patients with sub acromial impingement syndrome.
Purposes of the study To investigate the effect of adding High-Intensity Exercises to conventional physical therapy in patients with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Chronic shoulder pain, predominantly caused by rotator cuff disorders represents one of the most frequently encountered musculoskeletal issues within the community. Rotator cuff tears are a crucial pathophysiological contributor to shoulder pain. Individuals afflicted with this condition frequently report nocturnal intensification of pain and movement-specific aggravation, especially during overhead activities. The condition is frequently correlated with functional impairment, with many patients noting a sensation of weakness. Conservative treatment of the rotator cuff tear consists of a wide range of procedures such as exercise therapy; and/or local anesthetic, ice/heat therapy, electrotherapy, various types of manual therapy and joint mobilization procedures. Corticosteroid injection approach is an alternative method to these applications The subacromial corticosteroid injection is an intervention technique that has been utilized for short-term relief over numerous years.Given the restricted self-repair capabilities of tendons the consideration of novel biological treatment strategies for tendinopathies has gained prominence in recent times. Nonetheless, there remains a lack of sufficient scientific evidence to substantiate their efficacy.Mulligan mobilization techniques are manual therapy techniques that aim to increase normal joint movement and reduce pain levels by correcting the biomechanical structure of joint surfaces to provide a pain-free range of motion. A review of the literature reveals no studies comparing the Mulligan mobilization technique and corticosteroid injections in rotator cuff tears. The aim of our study is to examine the effects of the Mulligan mobilization technique and corticosteroid injections on pain, range of motion, functionality and proprioception in individuals with rotator cuff tears.
The shoulder joint in the human body has a broader range of motion and opening compared to other joints, resulting in a multitude of potential problems. The rotator cuff lesion is one such issue. The rotator cuff is found in the subacromial space of the shoulder and results from the compression of the subacromial bursa and the long head of the M.biceps muscle between the humerus and the coracoacromial arch. Upon reviewing the literature, therapeutic exercise and electrotherapy modalities are the most preferred and studied areas. Alongside these, we also observe the usage of Mulligan and Maitland techniques for the treatment of rotator cuff lesions. The Mulligan technique was developed by Brian Mulligan in 1980, who lent his name to it. Also known as mobilization with movement, this technique is often applied to the body's distal joints. The Maitland mobilization technique is used to treat the relevant joint with specific methods, particularly focusing on pain and stiffness in the joint. The technique's application is graded from 1 to 4. Grade 1 is a small oscillation created without loading throughout the joint movement. Grade 2 is performed with a slightly more oscillation from the beginning of the movement. Grades 1 and 2 aim to restrict the pain stimulus going to the central nervous system by stimulating the mechanoreceptor in the joint, thereby reducing the sensation of pain. Grade 3 is applied at a larger amplitude until a limitation is felt from the middle of the joint movement. Lastly, grade 4 is applied to the limited small amplitude until tissue resistance is felt. Grades 3 and 4 are used to alleviate joint stiffness by applying shorter oscillation stimuli to a shorter tissue. The results of the use of Mulligan and Maitland techniques have been demonstrated in different studies in the literature. However, as far as we know, no study in the literature compares these two techniques in individuals with rotator cuff lesions. Based on this gap in the literature, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the Mulligan technique and the Maitland method on pain, range of joint motion, functionality, joint position sense, and quality of life in individuals with a rotator cuff problem.
The investigators analyzed the strain of the rotator cuff tendon of baseball pitchers obtained using ultrasonography and compared the change in peak tendon strain before and after the regular season.
The majority of patients presenting with shoulder pain are those with rotator cuff problems. Although telerehabilitation is a promising field in many areas, there is still limited high-quality research with strong evidence of its effectiveness for musculoskeletal problems. In this study, online rehabilitation and face-to-face rehabilitation will be compared in people with partial rotator cuff tears.
