Filter by:Shoulder orthoses are an essential component of both, postoperative care as well as a range of conservative treatment concepts, and thus influence the functional outcome of a wide spectrum of glenohumeral pathologies. Therefore it is important to look at them in greater detail. A new concept, designed by DJO Global in the "Ultrasling Quadrant®" orthosis now immobilizes only the glenohumeral joint, while giving the possibility of elbow movement. It also allows multiple settings concerning the position of the glenohumeral joint like internal rotation as well as neutral or external rotation. It is yet to be seen how these changes will influence the outcome of therapy as well as how they will change the patient's perception of the orthosis and its wearing comfort. Therefore it is planned to be compared to another multifunctional shoulder brace already established on the domestic and international market, the BledsoeARC® brace. The primary objective is to assess if one of the investigated shoulder braces Ultrasling Quadrant® or Bledsoe Arc® is perceived by patients who received shoulder surgery as superior in terms of higher wearing comfort when worn during the post-operative immobilization period.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMT) versus placebo on pain, quality of life, shoulder function and isokinetic assessment, and muscle strength in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.
The purpose of this pilot study is to validate the safety, reliability and usability of FLOAT medical device, a prototypal robotic system for the rehabilitation of the shoulder, designed and developed in the Rehab Technologies IIT-INAIL Lab to fulfil the needs orthopaedic conditions. The acceptance from patients and therapists will be assessed after a single session of robotic therapy in a sample of injured workers suffering from post-traumatic or post-surgical shoulder disorders.
Introduction: Handball is a sport with a high prevalence of shoulder injuries due to the overuse that causes a glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, and excess of external rotation and scapular dyskinesia. Stretching is essential to restore physiological movement and improve strength. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of a posterior capsule stretching and strengthening of the shoulder and scapular program in handball players from 18 to 37 years old. Study design: randomized clinical trial, multicenter, single-blind with follow-up period. Methods: 60 handball players will be randomly assigned to the two study groups (experimental and control). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 3 weekly sessions with a duration of 21 and 12 minutes each. The study variables will be: range of motion in internal and external rotation (goniometer), throwing speed (Ball Throwing Speed Test), functionality (DASH questionnaire), perceived exertion (Borg scale), glenohumeral stability (CKCUEST y YBT-UQ Test) and the throwing force (Overhead Medicine Ball Throw). The intervention will consist in the application of stretching of the posterior shoulder capsule with an exercise protocol. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov analysis will calculate the normality of the distribution. In case of homogeneity of the groups, with the t-student test of repeated measurements and an ANOVA of repeated averages, the difference between the different evaluations and the intra- and inter-subject effect will be calculated. Expected results: Improved range of motion of the shoulder, strength and throwing speed after the intervention.
This study investigates the agreement between extended scope physiotherapists (ESP) and orthopaedic surgeons (OS) on diagnosis and treatment plan in an orthopaedic outpatient shoulder clinic. Furthermore a cost analysis and an evaluation of the interdisciplinary collaboration at the orthopaedic outpatient shoulder clinic (termed shoulder clinic in the following) will be performed.
This study shows a new technique which has been implemented at the schulthess clinic to improve the outcome after an correction of an anterior instability in the shoulder joint due to a HAGL lesion.
