View clinical trials related to Rotator Cuff Injuries.
Filter by: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.
rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder issues , affecting 20.7% of the general population .
Determine the optimal degree of retroversion (0-30º) to obtain the best rotational mobility, both internal and external, of the shoulder after implanting a reversed sghoulder arthroplasty (Comprehensive system), and analyze the functional and radiologic results based on humeral retroversion.
BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain has been reported to be the third most common musculoskeletal presentation in primary care, after low back pain and knee pain. The prognosis for those presenting with musculoskeletal shoulder pain varies greatly amongst individuals, with 50% of people reporting symptoms 6 months after presenting in primary healthcare. Functional limitations, in addition to pain, are widespread and can interfere with job, hobbies, social, and sporting activities. They may also relate to psychological discomfort and a lower quality of life. Continuous computer uses without a break, awkward postures, and the duration and frequency of laptop use have all been identified as risk factors for musculoskeletal diseases. The most prevalent cause, accounting for 70% of cases, is rotator cuff dysfunction. Rotator cuff disorders are frequently associated with short and long-term impairment and discomfort, with approximately fifty percent of patients experiencing pain or functional restrictions for up to two years. The majority of shoulder pain concerns are treated in primary care by physiotherapists and general practitioners. Myofascial release is a common hands-on method manual therapy technique that uses carefully guided low load, long duration mechanical pressures to modify the myofascial complex with promising results in improving functional level. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of myofascial release in patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy. METHOD: The design of this study is a double blinded Randomize control trail. Forty-two participants will be divided into one of two groups, group one will have strengthening exercises, range of motion exercise, and ice application, group two will perform the same exercises with ice application plus myofascial release. Patient will be followed for one month, two session per week and the session duration will be 30-45 mins. Assessment and re-assessment will be done by independent physical therapist. All patients will be assessed by using quick DASH, VAS, ROM, and Kessler psychological distress scale.
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
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).
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.
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 aim of this study was to compare the effects of iontophoresis and phonophoresis applications added to conventional treatment on pain, range of motion, disability, and functional status in the shoulder region in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ESWT applied to trigger points on pain, function, and effusion in individuals diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome. Material and methods: This was a randomized controlled clinical trial with a total of 32 which were randomly divided into two equal groups (ESWT Group (EG), n = 16; Control Group (CG), n=16). The participants in the EG were given Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy to the trigger point of the patients with a trigger point in one of the supraspinatus, subscapularis and infraspinatus muscles for a total of 5 sessions in 3 weeks (2 sessions in the first week, 2 sessions in the second week, 1 session in the third week) in addition to conventional treatment while CG received only conventional treatments for five days per week for 3 consecutive weeks. The primary outcome was pain intensity Visual analog scale (VAS). Secondary measurements were Tendon thickness and effusion with Ultrasound, Range of motion (ROM), Manual muscle testing (MMT), Corbin posture analysis, Constant Murley Score (CMS), Arm Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH). Supraspinatus tendon thickness and effusion of the cases included in the study were evaluated by ultrasonography before and after the treatment(3 weeks) by the same specialist physician who was blind to the groups. Normal joint range of motion by universal goniometer, muscle strength by manual muscle test, posture evaluation by Corbin posture analysis, pain evaluation by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional evaluation by Constant Murley Score (CMS), Arm Shoulder and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH) by physiotherapist It was evaluated before and after the treatment (3 weeks).
