Filter by:There is not a clear understanding of the origin of symptoms perceived by patients with impingement of the soft tissue structures of the subacromial space. Tendinopathy, tendon rupture or other pathologies, are present in asymptomatic subjects and subjects with symptoms and structural integrity can also be found. Patients diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome frequently have myofascial trigger points in the teres major muscle. Travell and Simons reported that the symptoms caused by trigger points in this muscle are similar to those experienced by patients diagnosed with impingement syndrome, but a literature search provides few results regarding relationship between subacromial impingement syndrome and presence of myofascial trigger points in the teres major muscle. This study aims to provide evidence of the results that can be obtained with a specific approach of teres mayor muscle by two manual techniques, Trigger Point Pressure Release and Diacutaneous Fibrolysis, in subjects with subacromial impingement syndrome, a condition that still representing both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Secondary objective is to compare the outcomes between both techniques to select for each patient the most appropriate to their needs and characteristics.
Primary aim of this study is to investigate wether an evidence-based physiotherapy regimen is more effective than standard care in patients referred for arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder. It is hypothesized that a multimodal physiotherapy regimen will relieve pain, improve shoulder function and reduce the need for subacromial decompression surgery of the shoulder compared to standard care/wait and see controls.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise program on 3-dimensional scapular kinematics, disability and pain on shoulder impingement with scapular dyskinesia.
The investigators goal is to provide a mechanism that allows for a better understanding of patient outcomes following rehabilitation. This includes functional outcomes measured by standardized and validated tools from the published literature. It incorporates comorbidities and patient demographic characteristics. It includes measures of general health as well along with activities of daily living and behavioral health aspects. Measures of quality and satisfaction and use of Net Promoter Scores also are included. All of these components come together to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of patients and their associated outcomes. This is a unique milestone in rehabilitative care and will act to inform and direct evidence-based approaches and treatment guidelines. Data are collected via the investigators proprietary electronic medical record system and are synthetic to the clinical process—that is, the data are collected in real-time with patients and the scores are immediately provided to the treating therapist as well as archived for later Registry and scientific use. Subsequent reporting can be risk adjusted to any variable collected which yields robust insights as to idiopathic patient conditions. However, no PHI information will be available.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of eccentric exercise to the shoulder muscles for people with shoulder pain. Identifying specific exercise protocols for individuals with shoulder pain will provide evidence to help clinicians select the best interventions.
This study will be performed to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided subacromial sodium hyaluronate injection in patients with impingement syndrome without rotator cuff complete tear.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence based exercise program for shoulder impingement. Approximately 1% of adults consult their General Practitioner (GP) with shoulder pain each year, making it the third most common reason for musculoskeletal GP consultations in the UK. A further 50% of these patients are diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) (shoulder impingement syndrome) and commonly referred for physiotherapy treatment. This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of an evidence based exercise protocol with usual physiotherapy care.
