Filter by:Although radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) has proven to be an effective treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment has so far been controversial. There are no studies using rESWT in rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Therefore, in this study, there is evidence that rESWT promotes pain control and healing recovery, and through previous studies, we would like to investigate whether treatment with rESWT during the intensive rehabilitation period of patients after ARCR is more effective in controlling pain.
During rotator cuff tear healing stages, there are complex interactions between a variety of tissue growth factors and cells, ultimately resulting in tissue that is markedly different from that of normal, uninjured tendon. Hence, there is a strong drive to investigate the role of potential therapies in the form of biological augments that may restore the pathologic tissue to a near normal physiological state. In this context, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may be an effective choice in the treatment of nonoperative small and medium-sized rotator cuff tears (RCT). To the best of our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled study investigating the effects of the LLLT in patients with a arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Therefore, the aim of the current study is to investigate all the possible effects of the LLLT in terms of functional status, pain-free mobility, and quality-of-life.
170 patients with rotator cuff syndrome will be filmed abducting and flexing their arms before learning a simple maneuver that alleviates most of the pain 90% of the time. They will then be filmed performing the same abduction and flexion of their arms. The patients will rate their pain on the common 10-point pain scale after abducting and flexing their arms before and after the maneuver.
We aimed to introduce a new modified suture bridge technique and report the clinical outcomes and radiological assessments of modified suture bridge technique for medium rotator cuff tears.
The study is to investigate the dose-response relationship between load-induced muscle activation (liMA) and load-induced glenohumeral translation (liTr) in patients with rotator cuff tears and asymptomatic control subjects. Furthermore the study is to investigate the in vivo dose-response relationship between additional weight and glenohumeral translation, to understand the biological variation in liTr, the influence of disease pathology on the liTr, the potential compensation by muscle activation and muscle size, and the influence of liTr on patient outcomes.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mulligan thoracic sustained natural apophyseal glide on patients diagnosed as sub acromial impingement syndrome and its effect on shoulder range of motion, pain, function and disability of affected shoulder joint and size of sub acromial space, Half of the patients will treated with traditional treatment and mulligan thoracic SNAGS technique, while the other half will treated with traditional treatment only.
Although proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques have been used in the treatment of different shoulder problems, PNF techniques in scapular and upper trunk patterns with extremity pattern have not been considered as a possible option for the treatment of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different PNF patterns in SIS.
Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal problem after lumbar and neck diseases in clinical practice, and the most common cause of shoulder pain is subacromial impingement syndrome. The main goal of treatment is to reduce pain and to solve the mechanical problem that causes functional impairment. Low-level laser treatment is an increasingly used treatment modality in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome as in many musculoskeletal diseases, as it promotes cell proliferation and tissue regeneration by its anti-inflammatory and photobiostimulation properties. Also, High-intensity laser therapy is a treatment method that is gaining popularity in the recent years. These ultra-short impulses effect a deep action in the biological tissue (3-4 cm), with a homogeneous distribution of the light source in the irradiated soft tissue, but without excessive thermal enhancements. It reduces pain and edema with photomechanic effects in deep tissues. As far as the investigators know, there are no studies comparing these two treatment modalities in subacromial impingement syndrome yet. This study was planned to compare the efficacy of High-intensity laser therapy and low-intensity laser therapy in treatment of patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and therapeutic ultrasound combined with home-based exercise in comparison with home-based exercise alone in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Participants are going to evaluate before training, and at the 1-month follow-up and 3-month follow-up using the visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain during activity, at rest, and at night, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI).
Patients with complaints of shoulder pain or limitation of motion, who admitted to outpatient orthopaedic clinic will be analyzed. It was planned to measure the subacromial distance using standardized both shoulder ap, true ap and outlet radiographs, and ultrasound to be performed for shoulder circumference soft tissue and muscle-tendon evaluation. The measurement made by the physical therapy and rehabilitation specialist with ultrasound will be considered to be accurate, and it was planned to evaluate the reliability of the graphy measurements by comparing this measurement with the measurements in the graphs. In addition, it was planned to evaluate the intra-observer and inter-observer compliance by re-measuring the subacromial distance on the radiograph by orthopedic doctors of three different seniority levels with an interval of one month.
