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.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the effectiveness of a single injection of CTM Boost in the treatment of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is as effective as a single injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in reducing the symptoms of RCT.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Electromyographic Biofeedback with proprioception exercises on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, proprioception and functionality in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of motor control exercises given through telerehabilitation on shoulder function and quality of life in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery.
There is little overall evidence behind clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of different machine learning models that use pre-operative data from an international and multicentric database to predict if a patient that underwent rotator cuff repair could achieve the minimal important change (MIC) for single assessment numeric evaluation (SANE) at one year follow-up.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if there is a difference in pain after an arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery when a nerve block is performed with liposomal bupivacaine versus the standard treatment of bupivacaine alone. The main question aims to answer if patients who receive liposomal bupivacaine have better pain control and lower postoperative opioid consumption compared to bupivacaine alone. Participants be randomized to either the control group to receive a standard interscalene block with bupivacaine (25 cc of bupivacaine) or the experimental group to receive similar dosing of liposomal bupivacaine mixed with bupivacaine (10cc liposomal bupivacaine + 15cc bupivacaine). Data will be prospectively collected and the data from the experimental group will be compared to the control group at the completion of the study period.
The goal of this longitudinal study is to understand the postoperative quality of life and dynamic trajectory of shoulder function in individuals with rotator cuff tears.
