Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the MSQ to Turkish language and test the validity and reliability of Turkish version of MSQ in shoulder dysfunction patients. And also, the ultimate goal was to facilitate international researches in shoulder problems as well as to serve the physicians for their clinical practice.
In this study assessing whether platelet rich plasma injections(PRP) are effective in the management hemiplegic shoulder pain, 55 patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain was recruited to this randomized controlled study. Patients were randomized into two groups, first getting PRP injections, and other group taking sham injections.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if stretching the contralateral sacroiliac (SI) joint improves GIRD in baseball players. Additionally, we aimed to compare our SI joint stretching regiment with a classically described sleeper stretch routine.
The investigators will test whether conscious control with manual guides and video or EMG biofeedback will enhance 3-D kinematics of scapula in shoulder dysfunction subjects with different type of scapula dyskinesis. The investigators will also examine how correction of scapular orientation may affect the activation of associated muscles during various dynamic movements in these subjects.
Subacromial injection is a useful procedure to counteract shoulder impingement syndrome. With the aid of high‐resolution ultrasound, the needle can be introduced precisely into the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa located between the acromion above and the supraspinatus tendon below. The standardized method allows the injectate to distribute along the subdeltoid bursa, further reliving pain from subacromial/subdeltoid impingement. In a substantial part of shoulder pain patients, it is common to accompany pain along the bicipital groove, which the biceps long head tendon courses through. The biceps long head tendon is attached to the superior labrum of the glenoid cavity and acts as the second important structure to prevent upward migration of the humeral head, following the supraspinatus tendon. Overuse injury of the biceps tendon is a likely cause of anterior shoulder pain. Concomitant administration of medication into the subacromial bursa and biceps tendon sheath is theoretically more effective than injection to the subacromial bursa only because the formal procedure targets two vulnerable structures in shoulder impingement syndrome at once. Regarding the standard ultrasound‐guided subacromial injection. Therefore, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness of standard subacromial injection in comparison with a novel approach simultaneously injecting the subacromial bursa and biceps tendon sheath.
Dynamic control of the rotator cuff muscles plays an important role in stabilizing the shoulder during motion. Impairment in the neuromuscular control of these muscles may to lead to injury and pain. Rehabilitation programs have moderate success in decreasing pain and improving shoulder function. While most of these programs target the rotator cuff, it is still unknown if they serve to improve the neuromuscular control of the rotator cuff muscles. The rehabilitation may induce neurological and physiologic changes in neuromuscular structures and thus alter the neuromuscular control of the entire shoulder complex. Kinematics and electromyographic (EMG) activities have been widely used to study neuromuscular control. However, corticospinal excitability, which has been widely examined in the patients with neurological disorders, provides a more detailed account of central control from the primary motor cortex through the spinal cord to the muscles. This assessment of neuromuscular control will serve to illuminate the ability of the shoulder muscles to handle the stress from activities such as overhead sports activities and carrying or lifting heavy objects. This approach could be used to help design efficient training program for athletes and effective rehabilitation program for patients with shoulder injuries. The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate the effect of exercise treatment effect on the proprioception, kinematics, EMG and corticospinal excitability of shoulder muscles, including the deltoid and rotator cuff muscles.
Manual therapy combined with a protocol of therapeutic exercises will increase the beneficial effects on scapular kinematics, myofascial pain and function in subjects with shoulder impingement when compared to exercises only.
Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedures and it is often done with the patient in the upright, or beach chair position (BCP). There have been multiple reported complications associated with the BCP, including cerebral ischemia, loss of vision, ophthalmoplegia, stroke, and even death. It has been reported that patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 34 or greater are as much as 12 times more likely to experience cerebral desaturation events (CDEs) compared to non-obese controls. CDEs in the upright position are hypothesized to be partially related to reduced cardiac preload due to venous pooling in the lower extremities which is exaggerated in obese patients. This prospective observational study aims to determine if the use of compression stockings in obese patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy in the BCP can reduce the incidence, frequency, or magnitude of CDEs experienced by the patient
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.
