Filter by:The investigators seek to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to identify patients with a primary complaint of shoulder pain who are likely to benefit from manual therapy to the neck and upper back regions. Manual therapy will include mobilizations (therapist moves the joints in an oscillating fashion) and manipulations (therapist performs a high velocity low amplitude movement) The investigators hypothesize that a cluster of signs and symptoms from the subject history and physical examination will exist that maximize the accuracy of identifying patients with a primary complaint of shoulder pain likely to benefit from this manual therapy treatment based on a reference standard of patient-reported improvement. The investigators also seek to investigate the psychometric properties (how good a test is), including test retest reliability of a modified version of the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) and the shortened Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) in patients with shoulder pain. The investigators will also look at the convergent validity (determine if measures that should be related are in reality related) and discriminant validity (show that measures that should not be related are in reality not related) of the modified FABQ and the TSK-11 in patients with shoulder pain.
Application of a belt for stabilization while exercising accelerate and optimize recovery in patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome.
The purpose of this pilot study is to conduct research to determine the most effective physical therapy treatment for a condition called shoulder impingement. This condition occurs when tissue in the shoulder is caught between the humerus (arm bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). This causes pain when one tries to reach overhead or behind the back. Two treatment methods will be used in the study. The first method uses the traditional treatments of hands-on shoulder stretching, shoulder exercise, posture, and education. The second method will use the traditional methods of shoulder treatment in addition to treatment of the cervical spine. It is hypothesized that a group of patients between 40 and 70 years of age with signs and symptoms of shoulder impingement who receive physical therapy to the cervical spine and shoulder will report a higher level of functioning, will report less pain, and will gain more range of motion than a group of patients receiving physical therapy solely to the shoulder.
This study will use healthy volunteers and patients with shoulder problems (pain or impaired movement). Ultrasound will be used to image and document the appearance of both normal and abnormal shoulder structures.
The purpose of this study is to compare suprascapular nerve block with therapeutic ultrasound in stroke patients who have shoulder pain in weak side.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare clinical post-operative outcomes for patients using active cooling and compression device and those using ice bags and elastic wrap after acromioplasty or arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
This is a clinical research study to determine if a prescribed physical therapy intervention after subcutaneous implantation of an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or pacemaker reduces the incidence of rotator cuff tendonitis when compared to usual post procedural care.
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of HKT-500 in subjects with acute shoulder pain
The purpose of this study is to find the efficacy of treating the trigger points located around the shoulder in patients suffering from chronic shoulder pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether botulinum toxin type A injected into muscles around the shoulder is effective in treating shoulder pain and improving function in patients with shoulder pain and involuntary muscle tightness after a stroke.
