Filter by:Volleyball players repetitively place the arm into extreme positions, and thus expose the athletes' shoulders to a large load and increase the risk of injuries. The shoulder complex is identified as one of the most injured joints in volleyball sports. Although many studies have revealed alterations in the function, morphology and biomechanics of the shoulder complex in volleyball players with shoulder pain, some researchers suggested that a smooth energy transfer from the axial skeleton, through the shoulder complex, to the arm and hand is crucial for overhead sports performance and injury prevention, with little evidence showing the link between trunk muscle performance and shoulder pain in volleyball players. Therefore, the main purposes of present study are (1) to compare the trunk muscle performance (muscle strength, power and endurance) in volleyball players with and without subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS); (2) to compare trunk and shoulder muscles activity during spiking in volleyball players with and without SIS.
Subacromial Impingement Syndrome is one of the most common shoulder pathologies causing shoulder pain, functional disability and reduced quality of life. This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of posterior capsule stretching and posterior mobilization on shoulder joint functions in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
Subacromial and subcoracoid impingement have been categorized as external impingement, one type of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). Differentiation between subacromial impingement and subcoracoid impingement are important in determining the treatment target. The thickness of the coracohumeral ligament (CHL) may affect coracohumeral distance (CHD), which has been suggested as a possible factor in developing subcoracoid impingement with subscapularis (SSC) lesion. Evidence that indicates the existence of abnormal SSC, CHL thickness and CHD in people with SIS is limited. The purposes of the study were (1) to evaluate the correlations between CHL thickness and CHD by using ultrasonography in people with SIS with and without SSC lesion, (2) to examine the difference in SSC/CHL thickness and CHD between people with SIS with and without SSC lesion.
Various stretches are used to lengthen the posterior shoulder capsule. No study has reported the comparison of the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and cross body stertch
Ozone injection has lately been utilized as a safe alternative to corticosteroids in the management of musculoskeletal diseases with fewer side effects. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a corticosteroid, single dose and three doses of ozone injection in shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS).
Since pain is usually accompanied by a substantial effect on daily life that results in the extensive use of healthcare resources. In subacromial impingement syndrome, shoulder pain affects the quality of life negatively by affecting upper extremity functions and interrupting night sleep. It is very important to control the pain in order to reduce the loss to the labor force and prevent the pain from becoming chronic. Various physical treatment methods such as ultrasound, hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, etc., and injections or medical agents are recommended. This study aimed to compare the effects of ultrasound (US)-guided in comparison to landmark guided subacromial corticosteroids injection on shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain, and functional status in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS).
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of platelet-rich plasma application with additional exercise and only exercise application on pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in subacromial impingement syndrome. Material and Method: 56 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of shoulder pain and were diagnosed with Subacromial impingement syndrome between February 2022 and February 2023 will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, the patients with informed consent will be randomized and divided into 2 groups of 28 people. The cases will be randomly divided into groups and their treatment will be done by the same researchers. Evaluation will be carried out by another investigator blinded to which group the participants belong to before and after the treatment. After the initial evaluations are completed, the 1st group will be given a home exercise program that they will apply every day for 8 weeks, and the 2nd group will be given 2 doses of PRP with an interval of 2 weeks in addition to the same exercise program. Initial evaluations of the patients will be made before the treatment and will be re-evaluated at the end of the 6th month. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); shoulder functionality will be evaluated with the Constant Murley Score, joint range of motion with the Universal Goniometer, muscle strength with the "Hand-held" dynamometer, and quality of life with the SF-36. Statistical Analysis: SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) (SPSS 21.0) statistical program will be used in the statistical analysis of the data. Mann Whitney-U Test will be used to determine the difference between the efficacy of treatments. P < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant in all analyses.
Sport climbing has recently become a highly popular sport and was included in the Summer Olympic Games 2021. Shoulder injury accounts for 15 to 20 percent of all sport climbing injuries, and it is the third most common problems, only surpassed by wrist and hand injuries. Sport climbing involves both open and closed chain movements of upper limbs. These prolonged and repetitive movements on vertical or overhanging terrain may lead to overuse and fatigue, which result in injuries. Sport climbing consists of multiple movement elements. Pull up with small holds is a basic movement in sport climbing, and activates many shoulder muscles, including trapezius, serratus anterior, latissimus dorsi. Studies related to sport climbing have focused on observing difference between sport climbers and non-sport climbers. Altered posture, increased scapulohumeral rhythm during arm elevation, and decreased shoulder angle during one-arm hanging have been observed in sport climbers. However, little studies have investigated whether climbers with shoulder injuries demonstrate different shoulder kinematics and muscle activation during tasks related to sport climbing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the shoulder kinematics and muscle activation during pull-up with small holds in sport climbers with and without shoulder pain. Methods. Thirty sport climbers with shoulder pain and 30 healthy control subjects matched with gender, age, dominant hand and experience will be recruited in this study. All subjects will undertake physical examinations such as shoulder range of motion (ROM). Shoulder kinematics and muscle activation will be collected during arm elevation in the scapular plane and pull-up with gym-bar and 20mm depth small climbing holds. An electromagnetic tracking system will be used to measure bilateral scapular and humerothoracic kinematics. Surface electromyography (EMG) will be used to record muscle activation of bilateral upper trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi. Demographic data and physical examination will be analyzed by independent t test or Chi-square test. Two-way ANOVA will be used to test differences between groups in kinematics and EMG data at different phases of tasks. If significant interaction effect is found, Post-hoc pairwise comparison with Bonferroni correction will be used. The significant level is set at 0.05.
Shoulder pain is the third common problem, after problems of spine. Abnormal scapular kinematics, so called scapular dyskinesis, is believed to be associated with shoulder pain. Studies showed that individuals with shoulder problems demonstrate less upward rotation, posterior tilt and external rotation during shoulder movement. The shortness of the pectoralis minor (PM) is one of the factors leading to scapular dyskinesis. Short pectoralis minor has been shown to prevent scapula from tilting posterior and rotating externally during shoulder motion. The decreased scapular posterior tilt and external rotation may decrease subacromial space and result in impingement. However, although many assessment methods have been used to assess PM tightness or shortness, no study has tested the validity of these testing methods. Moreover, although stretching exercises for PM have been shown to increase the PM length, previous studies found that PM stretching exercises did not restore scapular kinematics and did not further decrease pain and improve function. Shoulder pain and discomfort has also been reported during stretching. Therefore, rather than stretching exercise, other types of treatment that can specifically increase the PM length and restore scapular kinematics may be needed. Manual therapy could specifically increase the flexibility of PM, and scapular orientation exercises could improve scapular kinematics. These types of treatment may be better options. However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated whether manual therapy combined with scapular orientation exercises could improve scapular kinematics, pain and function. Therefore, the first part of this study is to investigate which tests for length or tightness of PM can predict the scapular dyskinesis. The second part of the study is to investigate the effects of manual therapy and scapular orientation training on PM length, scapular kinematics, pain, and function in subjects with shoulder pain. In the first part of the study, 67 healthy subjects will be recruited. In the second part, 62 patients with shoulder pain will be recruited and randomized into either a PM treatment group or a control group. While no treatment will be provided for the healthy subjects in the first part, subjects with shoulder pain in the second part will receive 12 sessions of treatment in 4-6weeks, with 30-40 minutes per session. Patients in the control group will receive general shoulder strengthening exercise, while patients in the PM treatment group will have additional manual therapy and scapular orientation exercise. The measures include tests of PM length, scapular kinematics in the first and second parts, and pain and shoulder disability were also additionally assessed in the second part.
A number of previous studies investigated the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).
