Filter by:The glenohumeral joint is an articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the head of the humerus that is enclosed by a synovial capsule divided into three main components: anterior, posterior, and the axillary pouch. Symptoms of posterior capsule tightness are linked to altered shoulder biomechanics and impairments which includes glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, incomplete glenohumeral adduction, impaired inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) function, and increased risk of impingement symptoms. In the literature the two techniques available for stretching posterior capsule are pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and sleeper stretch. Pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is therapist administered and sleeper stretch is patient-administered. The work on the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is more specified and rational to mark the tightness in the posterior capsule.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biostimulating, analgesic and noninvasive high intensity laser therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Participants between the ages of 18-75 and without any cognitive, communication and psychiatric problems were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups and both received conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for 3 weeks, 5 sessions a week. The treatment program applied was as followed; the control Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and study Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and High-intensity Laser Therapy (HILT). Upper extremity range of motion was evaluated with 'goniometer', pain threshold with 'algometer, muscle strength with 'myometer'; disability status with 'The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)'.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMT) versus placebo on pain, quality of life, shoulder function and isokinetic assessment, and muscle strength in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of the use of an abdominal binder on postoperative shoulder pain according to laparoscopic gynecological surgery. The investigators will compare the incidences of shoulder pain after laparoscopic gynecological surgery in terms of the use of an abdominal binder.
The patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (each 20 patients) using sealed opaque numbered envelopes: Control Group (C Group) : Patients receive continuous US suprascapular nerve block only. Gabapentin Group (G Group) : Patients receive continuous US suprascapular nerve block with oral gabapentin 300 mg once daily at bed time. Both groups compared as regard: Visual Analogue Scale Range of passive and active movements Patients satisfaction complication related to block The total dose of diclofenac sodium
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Kinesio taping (KT) on playing-related pain, upper extremity and hand function, grip and pinch strength in violin players. One hundred seventeen participants who were professional violinists for at least two years were randomized to receive either therapeutic tape application (KT group), a sham tape application (placebo group) or no application (control group) for one week. The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) in one week. The secondary outcomes were the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Purdue Pegboard Test, grip and pinch strength. Outcome measures were performed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one week later (follow-up). Participants were asked to play the "Violin Concerto No.2, Op.35", and pre-and post-performance pain and grip and pinch strength were assessed.
Management of massive rotator cuff tears (MRCT) is associated with high rates of failure. The long head of the biceps tendon augmentation (LHBTA) by reinforcement of the reconstruction and additional blood supply may improve healing and provide better outcome than partial repair only.
Shoulder pain is a common, debilitating problem for persons with Spinal cord injuries (SCI). Shoulder pain affects approximately 40-50% of the total population of persons with paraplegia (those with SCI with full use of their upper extremities and no or limited use of their lower extremities). Among the etiologies of shoulder pain in persons with paraplegia, overuse syndrome is the most common. Shoulder overuse syndrome in a person with paraplegia is the result of high activity demands and high mechanical load on the upper extremity during activities such as wheelchair propulsion, transferring with the arms, and performing activities of daily living from a wheelchair height, resulting in increased overhead activity. The pain as a result of overuse syndrome can limit the patient's participation in occupational and physical therapy as well as limit performance of activities of daily living and participation in usual life activities. An alternative treatment for shoulder pain with evidence to support efficacy in the able bodied population is Manual Therapy (MT). Unfortunately, there have been no prior research studies published examining the therapeutic efficacy of MT for overuse injuries of the shoulder in patients with paraplegia. This study will determine if MT, is efficacious to reduce pain in this population. A total of 20 patients with paraplegia identified in the outpatient clinic at Craig Hospital with overuse syndrome of the shoulder will be enrolled in the study.
The objectives of this study are to confirm the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Arthroplasty Systems and its instrumentation in primary or revision shoulder arthroplasty. These objectives will be assessed using standard scoring systems, radiographic evidence, and adverse event records. Safety of the system will be assessed by monitoring the frequency an incidence of adverse events.
Identifying high-risk factors that may lead to shoulder, neck and lower back discomfort and contributing to the primary prevention of disease progression.
