Filter by:The objective of this research is to study the effect of kinesio tapes with functional correction technique in combination with exercise management to increase strength and decrease pain, in people with rounded shoulders. The study would be evaluated with the EvaltechTM machine, (functional capacity assessment).
This study was planned to investigate the effect of blood flow restriction exercise training on shoulder muscle strength and muscle thickness, and to determine the change in pain and symptoms in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Patients in the study group will perform the rehabilitation exercises with a pneumatic cuff and blood flow restricted. The patients in the control group will perform the same exercise program without restricting blood flow.
Introduction: Shoulder pain is a condition of high prevalence in the general population. Studies indicate that physiotherapeutic treatment with exercise is effective in reducing pain and restoring function in patients with shoulder pain. Patients may have difficulty accessing the physiotherapy service due to the cost of treatment, transportation to the service, and long waiting lines. A possible solution is the use of a web-based exercise prescription instrument to increase access to physiotherapy for shoulder pain patients. Objective: To verify the effects of an intervention with a web-based instrument compared to a in person and supervised intervention. Methods: This study is a controlled, randomized, blinded clinical trial. There will be 184 individuals with shoulder pain who will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will receive a web-based instrument intervention and the other group will receive the in person and supervised intervention. The intervention will consist of strengthening exercises with emphasis on the lateral rotator and scapulothoracic muscles. The primary outcome will be pain and disability (SPADI, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index), and the secondary outcomes will be function (DASH questionnaire, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), self-efficacy (CPSS, Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale), kinesiophobia (Cover Scale), patient expectation of treatment (7-point Likert Scale), and patient satisfaction (Global Change Assessment Scale). All outcomes will be measured before and after 12 weeks of treatment (2x/week), after 6 months and 12 months from the end of treatment. Normality of data will be verified by Kolmogorov Smirnov's test. Differences between groups will be verified using the mixed linear models with the interaction terms versus time. The effect size will be calculated for the variables between the groups. The significance level will be set at 5%.
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for upper extremity pain related to spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischemic compression and IASTM techniques on pain, EHA, functionality, anxiety and depression in patients with the diagnosis of RM tear and presence of ATN. In addition, ischemic compression and EDYDM methods were aimed to compare and to reveal which application would be more useful.
Up to 77% of patients with chronic shoulder pain have a trigger point (TrP) in the infraspinatus muscle. These TrPs can lead to pain, limitation of activities and reduced quality of life. Dry needling (DN) is gaining popularity as a treatment for TrPs in physiotherapy. However, its clinical effects remain poorly understood mechanistically and its neurophysiological effects little studied. The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of a larger scale study. The secondary objective of this study is to to explore the immediate neurophysiological, biomechanical and clinical effects of DN and sham needling when applied to TrP of the infraspinatus muscle in people with chronic non-traumatic shoulder pain.
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are disorders of muscles, tendons, joints and nerves which can affect all body parts, although the neck, upper limb and back are the most common areas. The peer-reviewed literature about workplace prevention describes a variety of interventions that have been implemented and evaluated.but only few studies show sustainable positive effects on symptom outcomes. Yoga@Work program was developed to self manage pain around neck and shoulder areas among office workers.
"The Effect of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain on Balance, Upper Extremity Function and Quality of Life"
Interscalene brachial plexus block can be used as an additive to general anaesthesia or as the primary anaesthetic for shoulder surgeries for pain management. The investigators compared the effect of perineural versus intravenous dexamethasone on the prolongation of the action of levobupivacaine in ultrasound guided interscalene block for shoulder and upper arm surgeries.
The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the ASHCOM Shoulder System and its related instruments by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records.
