Filter by:Limited range-of-motion (ROM) is a common problem after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). The occurrence and magnitude depend on both surgical and patient-related factors. The most important surgical factor is the occurrence of impingement, which implicates collision between the humeral implant or bone and the scapula, limiting further motion. Patient-related factors such as scapula geometry and muscle function and activation also play an important role. Surgeons have to account for these factors when planning and implanting a RSA. Software models can support the surgeon during preoperative planning by using imaging data to simulate the ROM of a patient's shoulder after RSA. These software models allow for adaptation of the implant position during preoperative planning and, by this optimize the postoperative ROM. However, the models currently developed are limited in terms of ROM simulation and the factors the models take into account.
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.
- 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.
Current studies on the mechanism of subacromial impingement and other shoulder pathology reveal that multiple factors are responsible for impingement. These include serratus anterior dysfunction, rotator cuff insufficiency, posterior capsular tightness, acromioclavicular joint, thoracic spine stiffness and extensibility of the pectoralis minor and subclavius muscles. Manual intervention should therefore address these issues in conjunction with the other therapies. Novel interventions have been designed pilot tested for each of these factors to produce a healing environment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of each individual factor and combination of all on the range of motion of shoulder joint in healthy subjects and subjects with a restricted range of motion of shoulder joint respectively. The subject will be allocated randomly into four groups with respect to objective 1 and each of the groups will be evaluated as a quasi-experiment design (pretest-posttest) for healthy each of 30 subjects. Beneficial intervention among the four trials and other previously reported beneficial in improving the shoulder joint range will be combined in and termed as pragmatic intervention protocols. Pragmatic interventions on subjects with the restricted range in shoulder pathology will be tested through a similar design. The effects of these interventions on the Quality of life measured through the Urdu version of Shoulder pain and disability in subjects with shoulder pathology will also be tested.
Subacromial injection is considered one of the best treatments for patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. The subacromial bursa is located between the deltoid muscle and the supraspinatus tendon. It facilitates the gliding of the humeral head through the undersurface of the acromion. If the bursa is thickened, the patient may experience pain when he/she tries to raise the arm. In patients with subacromial impingement due to a thickened subacromial bursa, the physician can precisely inject the medication into the bursa using ultrasound guidance. Use of ultrasound guidance has been proven to yield a better effect of pain relief than the technique using guidance. A previous study found that even using ultrasound guidance to deliver medication, there were still many patients suffering from initial treatment failure or recurrence after the first successful injection. Because the pathophysiological mechanism of subacromial impingement is complexed, the proximal biceps tendon may be involved but is often ignored. Recently, the investigators published a randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of dual-target injection (proximal biceps tendon and subacromial bursa) with the standard subacromial injection in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome, and found that the dual target approach was safe and had a longer effective duration than the standard subacromial injection. In this regard, the investigators will conduct a longitudinal follow-up study to examine the long-term effectiveness of the dual-target corticosteroid injection for subacromial impingement syndrome.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in orthopedic practice. Rotator cuff injuries account for up to 70% of pain in the shoulder girdle. There is no clinical study carried out in Brazil comparing cost effectiveness between the open and arthroscopic methods of rotator cuff repair surgery. The present study aims to determine which method of repair of the rotator cuff, open or arthroscopic, has the best cost effectiveness ratio. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out in which patients with symptomatic rotator cuff lesion will be submitted to repair surgery by either open or arthroscopic technique and will be subsequently evaluated.
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 proposed study will compare the efficacy of Triamcinolone versus Ketorolac for intra-articular injection of the knee and shoulder
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.
