Filter by:This is an observational study to address the following questions. 1. How many people develop stroke-shoulder pain within 3 days of stroke? 2. How many people have stroke shoulder pain at 8-10 weeks after stroke? 3. Does having stroke-shoulder pain within 3 days of stroke predict the likelihood of having stroke-shoulder pain at 8-10 weeks? 4. What are the best bedside examination tests to identify stroke-shoulder pain?
Scientific evidence of conservative management of subacromial pain syndrome is conflicting. There is evidence that eccentric exercise programs are effective at medium term for this pain condition. The inclusion of other therapeutic modalities is still controversial. A recent study suggests that the inclusion of US-guided percutaneous electrolysis combined with eccentric exercises can be effective at short-term for this condition. The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness at short- and long-term of the inclusion of US-guided percutaneous electrolysis (EPE®) into a eccentric exercise protocol for the management of patients with subacromial pain syndrome for pain, function, disability and pressure pain sensitivity.
Will targeted intraoperative exercises performed by surgeons during surgery, mitigate high physical and mental demands while enhancing performance during surgical procedures?
About 70% of hemiplegic patients suffer from hemiplegic shoulder pain after stroke. This common occurrence is a cause for concern in the rehabilitation setting as it leads to impairment of functional outcomes induced by discomfort and delays in rehabilitation, important psycho-emotional repercussions as there is a correlation between upper arm pain and depression, a longer hospital stay. Poor management of hemiplegic shoulder pain can ultimately give rise to type 1 "complex regional pain syndrome" (CRPS I). There is no consensus on treatment, care pathways or useful devices for positioning acute stroke patients in the literature. Our objective is to compare the effectiveness of a new positioning procedure of the hemiplegic arm with conventional positioning (pillow and "shoulder-immobilisation" sling) in acute stroke patients. Patient's actions are focus in 4 points: - Positioning in bed, wheelchair and standing with specific materials (holds, sling in external rotation and abduction) - Be careful of shoulder's coaptation in care and functional activities (toilet, dressing, transfers) - A training of the patient and members of family on pathology, risk, use of material - Daily passive mobilisation of the upper member by a therapist.
Application of trigger point dry needling can induce post-dry needling soreness. This is not a negative experience, but sometimes some patients want to reduce it as much as possible. Manual therapies and exercise strategies targeting to decrease post-dry needling soreness need to be investigated.
This study will utilize Rasch analysis to study the construct validity and reliability of five shoulder-related patient-reported outcome measures in patients reporting shoulder impairment following surgery for head and neck cancer.
This study is designed to evaluate physician preference related to the use of the SURGIQUEST AIRSEAL® INSUFFLATION SYSTEM (AIS) at low verses high pressure for the management of pneumoperitoneum.
The investigators determined the effectiveness of a group intervention for the treatment of shoulder pathologies.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of suprascapular and axillary nerve blocks is non-inferior to the conventional interscalene block (ISB) in providing pain relief during the first postoperative day to adult healthy patients (age > 18) undergoing ambulatory shoulder surgery.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions treated by physical therapists. One common treatment is passive glenohumeral joint accessory mobilization, which is the application of a therapist generated force to move the humeral head (ball) on the glenoid (socket) of the shoulder to improve motion and decrease pain. It is generally accepted that these mobilizations do not elicit active muscular contractions of the surrounding musculature. However, there is very little literature to support this assumption, and a preliminary PubMed search utilizing the terms "shoulder"," mobilization", and "EMG" returned zero relevant references. Therefore, the investigators plan to utilize surface electromyography (EMG), a non-invasive assessment tool, to objectively measure the activity of the rotator cuff muscles (the muscles that surround the shoulder and provide stability to the joint) during various grades(levels of force and amplitude of movement) of glenohumeral mobilization ( a standard of care treatment). It is also unknown if subjects pain levels impact the level of rotator cuff activity. To investigate these questions, the investigators will collect EMG data while performing mobilizations on a total of 20 subjects, divided into two groups: 10 pain free shoulders and 10 painful shoulders. Data analysis will then include descriptive analysis, estimates of effect size, and analysis for between group differences. The investigators hypothesize that there will be significant differences in muscular activity between groups related to the presence of shoulder pain.
