Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see the impact of a modified Spencer's technique on tissue stiffness, mobility, and blood flow of the shoulder joint. Spencer's technique is a well-known osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) that is common for treating adhesive capsulitis and is believed to help blood flow. There are studies that look at the clinical effects of the technique and/or compare it to other techniques; however, measuring the extent to which Spencer's technique, or this modified technique, improves tissue stiffness and blood flow has never been written in the literature. This study will serve as a proof of concept that this technique improves tissue stiffness, blood flow, and mobility of the shoulder join as well as the nearby areas. Using ultrasound, the investigators will measure tissue stiffness and blood flow and will analyze the mobility of the shoulder joint using a Vicon motion capture system.
The investigators's aim is to examine trunk and upper extremity edema after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and/or labrum repair surgeries. During surgery, the shoulder joint capsule is cut and the joint is entered arthroscopically. During this procedure, approximately 3-6 liters of saline fluid is injected into the joint, depending on the duration of the surgery. The given fluid accumulates out of the joint in relation to the duration of the surgery and the amount of fluid given. In this study, the investigators aim is to examine how much the extra-articular fluid collects under the skin of the upper extremity and trunk, and the change in the amount of fluid 24 hours after surgery. Examination of the amount of subcutaneous fluid may help to better understand the postoperative complications such as edema, carpal tunnel syndrome, compartment syndrome, myolysis, and dyspnea. How much edema the joint and surrounding structures are exposed to and its relationship with the duration of surgery can help to clinicians determine the safe discharge time.
In our study, we aimed to examine the muscles and tendons of the shoulder region on the plegic side of patients with hemiplegia by elastography and to investigate whether there is a relationship between the course of the disease and the course of the lesions that will occur in the shoulder.
Frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, shoulder, platelet-rich plasma, corticosteroid, injection.
We hypothesize that focal vibration therapy will reduce pain, increase the mobilization of the glenohumeral joint, and will improve functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether certain criteria for returning to the field can be predictive of a return of the athlete to a level of performance similar to that of before his shoulder injury. In this context, these different criteria will be tested at 6 months in post-surgery while performance monitoring will be carried out at 12, 18 and 24 months.
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of different positions of the glenohumeral joint on the maximum muscle contraction of different shoulder muscles. The muscles do not contract with the same intensity depending on the position of the arm in relation to the trunk. With the determination of this optimal position to activate the shoulder muscles as much as possible, we will be able to strengthen the patients during their revalidation.
