Filter by:Shoulder impingement syndrome is primary cause of discomfort and restricted range of motion while reaching above in shoulder region. It is third most common illness affecting musculoskeletal system. The aim of this study will be to analyse comparative effects of active release technique and soft tissue mobilization on pain, range of motion and disability in shoulder impingement syndrome. The study will be a randomized clinical trial. A random sample of 40 subjects with shoulder impingement from Allied hospital, Faisalabad will be evaluated. Subjects who will meet selection criteria will be allocation into two groups by computerized generated allocation method. In addition to ultrasound as baseline treatment group a will receive active release technique while in group B soft tissue mobilization will be administrated for 4 weeks. Treatment session will be 12 session (3 sessions in one week). Baseline, at 2nd week and at 4th week of treatment pain, shoulder elevation, external rotation and shoulder disability will be measure by VAS, goniometer and SPADI. For, data analysis, we will use SPSS software version 23. Data was interrupted through independent t test and repeated measurements ANOVA.
This research project aims to test if systematic (extensive) use of patient-reported outcomes across treatment boundaries can 1. improve patients' and health professionals' understanding of individual patients' conditions and health changes, 2. improve indications for treatment, 3. strengthen patient empowerment, and 4. reduce patients' utilization of health services. The study will be performed in the particular context of patients with chronic degenerative conditions of the shoulder. These patients are characterized by contact with numerous health professionals from different health sectors, such as general practitioner, physiotherapists and surgical referral centres, which challenges coherence and communication for the individual treatment decisions. The research project will be performed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 1-year inclusion period and two years of follow-up.
This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of rotator cuff repair with lateral raw or double raw combined with microfracture procedure. The patients with rotator cuff tear were randomly divided into groups before the operation. The patients were followed up before and, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months after surgery. In different time periods, the quantitative and qualitative indicators including pain, functional score, muscle strength, MRI performance, etc. were compared between groups at the same time period to evaluate the difference in the effect of double raw or only lateral raw repair combined with microfracture on the treatment of rotator cuff. In order to figure out whether medial raw anchor necessary during tendon repair combined with microfracture in small to medium size rotator cuff tear.
Rotator cuff tendonitis (RCT) is one of the most common shoulder pathologies, causing pain, limitation of shoulder joint movements, and impaired function. Patient education, medical treatment, corticosteroid injections, physiotherapy rehabilitation approaches are the most common treatment options applied to alleviate the symptoms of RCT. Despite these various treatment methods, there are currently no specific guidelines regarding the most appropriate and effective intervention for RCT treatment. This is mainly because adequate, high-quality studies are lacking in RCT management. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT), which has become a popular approach in recent years, and Cold Therapy (CT), which has often been used as a therapeutic agent since immemorial, on individuals with RCT. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate and compare the short-term effects of KT and CT on pain and upper extremity functionality in individuals with RCT.
Regenerative medicine, specifically orthobiologics is a hot topic in the community and in Sports Medicine. Riding the hype curve of a new treatment can be great when offering new procedures to patients. However, as the excitement regarding potential benefits of orthobiologics grows, it is valuable to grow the body of literature on their safety and efficacy in various musculoskeletal conditions. Furthering the body of data regarding which musculoskeletal conditions may benefit most from these treatments and which may not can help guide physicians on when to incorporate orthobiologics into clinical practice. More robust data can help physicians guide patients and patient expectations when discussing treatment options. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) in musculoskeletal medicine is most commonly used to treat tendinopathies and degenerative joint disease. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine released a position statement in November of 2021 summarizing meta-analysis and systemic review data evaluating efficacy and major adverse events of PRP for tendinopathy and osteoarthritis1. At this time, the most robust data exists for lateral epicondylopathy as multiple randomized controlled trials demonstrate positive response to PRP. Gluteus medius tendinopathy and plantar fasciaopathy similarly have positive data. In Achilles tendinopathy, well designed RCTs have shown no difference between PRP and saline injections. These data should help guide physicians in responsible use and patient counseling. Data from Hurley et al. suggest PRP may augment rotator cuff repair with improved rates of healing and reduced overall pain. However, there are limited high quality studies on the efficacy of PRP alone in partial rotator cuff tear. Partial rotator cuff tear is a common musculoskeletal complaint that can be treated with conservative measures such as physical therapy and corticosteroid injection. It can also be treated with surgical intervention if those modalities provide incomplete or inadequate pain relief and functional restoration. This study aims to evaluate if PRP is an efficacious treatment modality for partial rotator cuff tear.
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common shoulder diseases and conservative treatment is commonly used for tears involving ≤50% of tendon thickness. Since conventional conservative treatments are not fundamental to repair tendon tissue, there is a growing need of new therapy to improve structural outcome. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of allogeneic fibroblasts on partial-thickness rotator cuff tear. The primary outcome is change in Constant Score (CS) at 24 weeks after TPX-115 injection. Secondary outcomes include changes from baseline in CS, Visual Analogue Score (VAS) pain score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and functional evaluations including Range of Motion (ROM) at 4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks after administration and structural evaluation using MRI at 24 and 52 weeks after injection.
To compare the effects of thrower's ten and routine physical therapy on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome
This study aims to shed light on the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles, which play a significant role in rotator sheath tendinopathy and tears. It includes isometric measurements of muscle thickness, fiber length, and pennation angles, as well as muscle strength, using ultrasound to evaluate the muscle architecture of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles in tennis players.
rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder issues , affecting 20.7% of the general population .
Comparative study to compare the effect of radial shockwave versus ultrasound phonophoresis in management of chronic supraspinatus tendinitis consists of 3 groups exp1(shockwave treatment + conventional physical therapy) , exp2( ultrasound phonophoresis+ conventional physical therapy) and control group ( conventional physical therapy)
