Filter by:It is a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of neurocognitive therapeutic exercise in subjects affected by shoulder impingement syndrome in comparison with traditional therapeutic exercise. The traditional exercise protocol contains mainly strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, Codman's pendulum exercises and exercises against elastic band resistance. The neurocognitive exercise protocol contains ten exercises involving specific instruments (e.g., table inclined with a board with five concentric circles, sponges of various texture). Each subject, randomly assigned to either neurocognitive therapeutic exercise (group 1) or traditional therapeutic exercise (group 2), will be submitted to one-hour session for three times a week for five weeks. The outcome measures used will be the Quick-DASH questionnaire, the Constant-Murley shoulder outcome score, the ASES score, a visual analogic scale (VAS) and the assessment will be performed at baseline (T0), at the end of treatment protocol (T1), at 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) from the end of treatment.
Specific Aims and Hypotheses Aims To investigate the incremental benefits of cervicothoracic spinal manipulation in addition to shoulder mobilization and exercise for improving range of motion, pain, physical function and fear avoidance beliefs in patients with subacromial shoulder impingement. Hypotheses It is hypothesized that those subjects who receive spinal manipulation in addition to shoulder mobilization and exercise will achieve greater improvements in range of motion, pain, function and fear avoidance beliefs at two weeks following treatment conclusion, at 4 weeks following treatment conclusion, and at discharge when compared to the subjects who did not receive the spinal manipulation.
The objective of this study is to investigate whether treatment directed at the neck and shoulder is more beneficial than treatment directed solely at the shoulder; for patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. (The hypothesis is that patients who receive neck mobilization will improve at a more significant rate than those who do not receive neck mobilization)
Shoulder impingement has been identified as the most common cause of shoulder pain in the adult general population. Sometimes therapeutic pushing on the middle part of the back (manual therapy) decreases shoulder pain in someone experiencing shoulder impingement. We do not known what causes the decreased shoulder pain. It could be that the therapeutic pushing makes things move better. It may be that the person getting their back treatment thinks they are better or the physical therapist who provides the manual treatment thinks it works.
Shoulder problems causing pain and decreased function are very common. Many of these problems are related to the rotator cuff tendons. Shoulder arthroscopy surgery (keyhole surgery) is a common treatment for this pain. This can involve an Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression (ASAD) an operation used to remove bony spurs which may be the cause of the pain. This procedure is widely used despite limited evidence of any effectiveness. This is a randomised controlled trial that will compare ASAD against an investigational shoulder arthroscopy (without spur removal/decompression) to indicate whether spur removal is really necessary and in turn, assessing the effectiveness of the ASAD procedure. Both surgical interventions are routine and will mirror each other except for the spur removal element. Both treatments will be compared against a control (non operative management with specialist reassessment) group to indicate whether surgery in general is effective for patients with subacromial pain. Patients randomised to either of the surgical options will be blinded to the type of surgery they have. This is a multicentre trial taking place in 10 centres in England and Wales. Two satellite studies will also take place. One will involve a subset of patients undergoing MRI scans to examine the effects of their shoulder pain on their brain transmissions. The other will involve collecting tissue samples from patients undergoing surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether radio-frequency (RF)-based plasma micro-tenotomy has a positive effective for the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome with cuff tendinosis. Eighty patients with impingement syndrome and cuff tendinosis that treated arthroscopic were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either arthroscopic subacromial decompression alone (ASD group, n=40) or arthroscopic subacromial decompression combined with RF-based plasma micro-tenotomy (RF group, n=40). Clinical outcome data including VAS(Visual Analogue Scale) pain score, Shoulder range of motion (ROM), ASES(American Shoulder And Elbow Surgeons) score, UCLA(University of California, Los Angeles) score, Constant-Murley score and SST(Simple Shoulder Test) score were recorded preoperatively and at postoperative 3-week, 6-week, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the application of PRP leads to faster wound healing, less wound healing disorders, less pain and faster functional recovery after subacromial surgery.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different physical therapy exercise programs in persons who have shoulder pain in order to determine if they have a different affect on pain level and ability to use the injured shoulder after treatment. Both exercise groups will attend physical therapy for an hour,two to three times a week, for eight weeks. The first two weeks of therapy sessions will involve learning the exercises and testing to determine what weight to use during exercises. One group will perform a traditional therapy exercise program for shoulders using hand weights. The other group will perform a version of the same shoulder exercises but with a different exercise technique. Exercises in both programs are part of the standard of care for shoulder impingement in physical therapy but one program concentrates on the lowering portion of the exercise (eccentrics) while the other emphasizes the lifting portion of the exercise (concentrics). Both groups will perform the same warm-up, stretching, and cool-down exercises. Participants will also be required to perform a daily home exercise program of stretches and range of motion that will take about 20 minutes to complete. Exercise testing will determine the hand weight resistance used by each person during their therapy sessions and re-testing will occur every two weeks to determine any changes in the weight used for the exercises to keep them challenging. Pain level, ability to use the injured arm for daily activities, strength, and amount of movement in the shoulder, will be measured at the start of physical therapy and after five and eight weeks (end of study) of the exercise treatments. A concurrent study investigating the reliability of the shoulder motion and strength measurements used in the larger study will also be performed. Research hypotheses: 1. Adults with shoulder pain who complete the eccentric progressive resistive exercise intervention will demonstrate significantly greater improvements in the outcome measures at three weeks, earlier in the intervention, than the concentric progressive resistive exercise intervention group. 2. Adults with shoulder pain who perform progressive resistive exercise interventions, regardless of contraction type, will demonstrate significant improvement in the shoulder outcome measures at three and six weeks of intervention.
The program of stretching, strengthening and proprioception is more effective than stretching and strengthening program in nursing, with rotator cuff disorder, according to indicators of quality of life and job satisfaction.
Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain with high lifetime prevalence (one in three) in general population. In occupational population is the most common upper extremity disorder. Symptoms include pain, a variable degree of mobility limitation and a more or less pronounced functional impairment. Conservative treatment is usually the first therapeutic option and some physiotherapeutic techniques have proved its efficacy but nevertheless treatment remains challenging. According to the investigators clinical experience, Diacutaneous Fibrolysis has a beneficial effect on patients suffering from SIS, but no one published clinical trial has evaluated this manual technique previously. The investigators hypothesis is that adding Diacutaneous Fibrolysis to a protocolized physiotherapeutic treatment can provide better outcomes. The investigators objective was to assess the effect of Diacutaneous Fibrolysis on pain, mobility and functional status in patients suffering from SIS. A double-blind (patient and evaluator) randomized clinical trial was carried out in two public centres of Primary Health Care of the Spanish National Health System. The study protocol was approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee from the Jordi Gol Institute of Research in Primary Health Care and all the patients provided written consent. A hundred and twenty patients with clinical diagnosis of SIS were included and randomly allocated to one of three groups. All groups received the same daily protocolized treatment based on therapeutic exercises, analgesic electrotherapy and cryotherapy during three weeks. Additionally, intervention group received six sessions (two a week) of actual Diacutaneous Fibrolysis; placebo group received six sessions (two a week) of placebo Diacutaneous Fibrolysis, while control group received only the protocolized treatment. Pain intensity (VAS), active range of motion (flexion, abduction, extension, external and internal rotation) and functional status (Constant-Murley score) were measured in baseline, after the three weeks of treatment and three months after the end of treatment.
