Filter by:The study design is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, non-randomized, and noncontrolled post market clinical follow-up study involving orthopedic surgeons skilled in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair as determined by the Sponsor.
Suprascapular nerve block is an injection method that has been shown to be effective in shoulder rehabilitation in diseases such as adhesive capsulitis and stroke .. Applying the block under USG guidance instead of blinding increases the effectiveness and reduces complications.
This study aimed to describe a modified technique for arthroscopic-assisted transfer of the lower trapezius tendon in a selected group of patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears and to evaluate its short-term results.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect and the impact of performing virtual reality intervention on upper extremity function in patients with post-operative rotator cuff repair. The main question that it aims to answer is: Does the application of virtual reality intervention improves upper extremity function in patients with post-operative rotator cuff repair. Participants will be randomized into 2 groups: the control group receiving conventional physical therapy intervention and the experimental group receiving the virtual reality intervention.
48 patients with massive rotator cuff tears were treated with a standardized five step technique of arthroscopic guided mini-open tranosseous repair with bursal augmentation. Their follow up is noted
Rotator cuff syndrome is one of the most common problems in the shoulder, starting as acute tendinopathy and progressing to partial and full thickness tears. Shoulder pain causes a decrease in shoulder joint movement, joint position sense, upper extremity function and quality of life. Among the most commonly used conservative treatment methods; Joint range of motion exercises, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, mobilization and electrotherapy method are included. Nowadays, with the widespread use of technology in rehabilitation, video-based games have begun to be used for rehabilitative purposes in addition to conservative approaches. Although the effectiveness of video-based games has been extensively studied in diseases such as cerebral palsy, stroke and parkinsonism, there are a limited number of studies in the field of orthopedic rehabilitation, especially in shoulder rehabilitation. Basic body awareness therapy is used to treat chronic musculoskeletal-related painful conditions. In the literature, basic body awareness therapy has been studied in patient groups such as mental health, stroke patient groups, chronic musculoskeletal problems, chronic waist and neck pain, scoliosis and knee osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that the TBFT method provides improvements in individuals' body awareness, mobility in daily living activities, health-related quality of life, body image and pain intensity. However, no studies have been found in which basic body awareness therapy was used in the field of shoulder rehabilitation. Our study aims to compare the effectiveness of a rehabilitative game exercise program and body awareness training in terms of pain, joint range of motion, shoulder functionality, proprioception, body awareness, shoulder-related quality of life, kinesiophobia and patient satisfaction in individuals with Rotator cuff syndrome.
Randomized controlled trial comparing human dermal allograft with bovine collagen xenograft in rotator cuff repair.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Mulligan Mobilization techniques, Mobilization with Movement (MWMs) and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques, Hold-Relax Active Movement Technique, on pain, normal joint range of motion, proprioception, scapular dyskinesia and functional status in individuals with rotator cuff syndrome. A total of 60 people were included in the study: 20 participants in the censervative rehabilitation group (Conservative Treatment), 20 participants in the Treatment A (Mulligan Mobilization Application) Group, and 20 participants in the Treatment B (PNF Application) Group. Individuals were treated for 5 days for 4 weeks. Pain before and after treatment with Visual Analog Scale; joint range of motion with goniometer; With proprioception Angle Repetition Test; Scapular dyskinesia with Lateral Scapular Slide Test; quality of life with SF-36; shoulder functionality was assessed with the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Scale (WORC).
Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS) often lead to shoulder pain and reduced function, creating a demand for alternative treatments. This study examines the effectiveness of remote assessments and tele-exercise compared to traditional in-person methods for treating these injuries. The telemedicine group will receive remote consultations and asynchronous exercise videos, while the control group will have face-to-face meetings and comprehensive information. Follow-up assessments will track exercise compliance for both groups. Additionally, a questionnaire will assess functionality, and pain levels will be evaluated using a pain scale, providing a comprehensive evaluation of treatment outcomes.
Background: Although it is known that Platelet-Rich Plasma injections have a remarkable pain relief effect for patients with partial tears of the rotator cuff in the shoulder joint, many patients still experience limited muscle strength and joint mobility recovery. Patients often inquire about post-Platelet-Rich Plasma injection rehabilitation and precautions. Therefore, it is necessary to design a comprehensive post-injection rehabilitation and training plan to improve the quality of treatment. However, previous literature on post-Platelet-Rich Plasma injection treatment seems to have inconsistent rehabilitation plans. One major reason for this inconsistency might be the lack of sufficient evidence or unclear rehabilitation effectiveness, leading to poor patient compliance. The underlying cause of these issues is the absence of a standardized and effective rehabilitation plan. Hence, it is essential to develop a standardized rehabilitation plan to enhance treatment effectiveness. Method: The investigators designed a non-blinded, randomized, crossover trial to observe the potential benefits of muscle strength and joint mobility rehabilitation intervention one month after PRP injection treatment for patients with partial tears of the rotator cuff. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. One group received only standard physical therapy (magneto-therapy, low-energy laser, electrotherapy, etc.), while the other group underwent muscle strength and joint mobility training in addition to standard physical therapy. There were three assessment time points: pre-assessment (one week after Platelet-Rich Plasma injection), after the first stage of treatment (three weeks of rehabilitation training + standard physical therapy/standard physical therapy following the first Platelet-Rich Plasma injection treatment), and after the second stage of treatment (three weeks of rehabilitation training + standard physical therapy/standard physical therapy following the second Platelet-Rich Plasma injection treatment). The assessment methods included quantifying muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer (Manual Muscle Test) and measuring three shoulder joint angles (abduction, external rotation, internal rotation). The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index recorded changes and progress in each value at different treatment stages. Analysis: A repeated-measures Analysis of Variance model was used to analyze the trial's effects and correlations. We also analyzed whether the dose-effect existed concerning the use of time/frequency.
