Filter by:To investigate if pain severity, scapular upward rotation angle and upper trapezius/serratus anterior isometric strength ratio can predict patient's response to scapular training in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
The aim of the randomized clinical trial is to investigate if "exercising into pain" gives better results in term of clinical outcomes compared to a non-painful exercise program.
The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the Patient- Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) and shoulder functions in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation program applied to patients with shoulder problems.
Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common disorder of shoulder joint. SIS has been accounted for 44-65 % of all shoulder pain. It is believed that one important contributing factor is scapular dyskinesis. Patients with SIS demonstrates scapular dyskinesis, including decrease in upward rotation, scapular posterior tilt, and external rotation. Altered muscle activity of scapular muscles may contribute to scapular dyskinesis, such as increase in activity of upper trapezius, and decrease in activity of lower trapezius and serratus anterior. In addition to these changes in neuromuscular control, central nervous system may be re-organized in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Evidence has been reported that center of gravity of motor mapping changes, corticospinal excitability decreases and inhibition increases in patients with shoulder injuries such as instability, rotator cuff tendinopathy and SIS. These corticospinal changes are believed to be related to chronicity of symptoms and lack of treatment effects. Previous studies have applied many types of treatments to SIS, such as manipulation, taping, and exercises. However, most studies mainly focused on the outcomes of pain and function, few studies investigated changes in neuromuscular control following treatments. Yet, no study has addressed how corticospinal system changes following treatment in patient with shoulder injuries. Motor skill training, which has been widely used in training healthy subjects or patients with neurological disorders, has been shown to change corticospinal systems, including increasing excitability and decreasing inhibition. To our knowledge, no study has integrated the concepts of motor skill learning into a short-term treatment or investigated the effects of motor skill training on corticospinal systems in patients with SIS. The purposes of the study are to investigate the effects of short-term motor skill training on pain, neuromuscular control, corticospinal system in patients with SIS, and also to investigate whether changes in corticospinal parameters will be related to changes in pain, function and neuromuscular control.
the current study tends to compare the effect of two different treatment techniques used in the rehabilitation of shoulder impingement syndrome. rigid tapping and scapular stabilizing exercises will be applied and the level of function and pain intensity will be measured before and after the intervention and at 3 months follow up. while both methods of treatment used previously, the comparison between their effects is not yet investigated and no data is available regarding the superiority of one over the other.
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of home exercise program and isokinetic exercise program on pain, muscle strength, functionality, proprioception sensation and quality of life in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of conservative physiotherapy in the subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) and its relation to the acromion morphology.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided injection of platelet-derived lyophilized growth factors in treatment of subacromial impingement.
- To evaluate the role of dynamic ultrasound in evaluation patient with clinically suspected shoulder joint impingement. - To assess the added value of dynamic ultrasonography to the static examination of patients with clinically suspected impingement.
Shoulder pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem after low back and neck pain. Subacromial impingement syndrome is one of the most common diseases that causes shoulder pain. Many methods are used to reduce pain and accelerate functional rehabilitation in patients with shoulder pain. Transcutaneous pulse radiofrequency therapy (TCPRF) is a needle-free, painless, and outpatient physical therapy modality that can be used to treat shoulder impingement syndrome. Acromio-humeral distance and supraspinatus tendon thickness measurements with ultrasound are reliable and effective methods to diagnose subacromial impingement syndrome. Although there are previous studies investigating the effectiveness of TCPRF treatment in patients with shoulder pain, there are no studies evaluating the effectiveness of treatment with ultrasound examination. In this study, the investigators aimed to show the effect of TCPRF treatment on pain, range of motion, functional status and ultrasound findings in subacromial impingement syndrome.
