Filter by:Impingement Syndrome (IS) is the most common alteration of the shoulder's articular complex of diverse etiology. Forty to 50% of those affected seek medical attention due to the pain; in half of these cases, the pain persists a year after the first medical appointment. It represents a sizeable drain on healthcare resources and a loss of productivity. Initial treatment of IS is generally conservative and includes a wide range of procedures and educational protocols. If conservative treatment fails, arthroscopy may be recommended for decompression. The standard treatment (ST) applied in the Quintanar de la Orden Physiotherapy Unit (UFQO), located within the healthcare area of Toledo, Spain, is prescribed by a rehabilitation specialist. It consists of one or more of the following procedures: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound therapy, kinesiotherapy, and cryotherapy. Reflex Locomotion - or Vojta - Therapy, is a physiotherapeutic procedure that entails all the components of human locomotion. It consists of applying stimuli to certain areas of the body with the patient in various positions in order to produce a neurophysiological facilitation of both the central nervous system and the neuromuscular system, activating global and innate locomotive patterns or complexes, namely the Creeping Reflex and the Rolling Reflex. Both complexes provoke a certain coordination of striated muscle throughout the entire body. This enables a change from pathological patterns to alternative physiological patterns that are painless, efficient, and functional, by means of generating significant global effects, including the axial extension of the spine, correct positioning of the shoulder girdle, and activation of the abdominal musculature, all of which are altered by shoulder pathologies. Therefore, because of the high prevalence of IS and the lack of scientific studies on physiotherapeutic interventions on the shoulder, the investigators decided to conduct a clinical trial on the utility of Vojta Therapy in the treatment of IS. The investigators hoped to improve on the studies published to date, which vary greatly in methodological quality and use small sample sizes and heterogeneous populations. Moreover, no published studies have examined the use of Vojta Therapy in relation to shoulder pathologies in general, or to IS in particular.
The shoulder stability has always been related to the rotator cuff complex, although more and more is contemplated the Teres Major muscle and its affectation in the shape of the trigger points within this pathology. As non-invasive measures for the deactivation of these myofascial points, Travell and Simons recommended the pressure maintained along with muscular stretch. Stretching are usually a technique widely used in our practice as physiotherapists and it is necessary to study its effects in the clinic. As an objective we plan to compare the effect of passive stretching in short lever according to the Orthopaedic Manual Therapy concept if it produces better result in the pain, the rank of movement and in the Function, with the effect of stretching by means of a long lever in affected patients of subacromial syndrome. This is a randomized controlled study with blind evaluator approved by the Ethical Committee of the Institut d'Investigació en atenció Primaria Jordi Gol. After checking the inclusion and exclusion criteria, you will be asked, voluntarily, that the patient sign informed consent. The variables will then be valued independent and dependent on the study. It will randomly be assigned to one of the three groups in the study. The 3 groups receive the protocolized treatment for the service they consist of In superficial thermotherapy, an educational talk and kinesitherapy. The intervention groups will receive alternate days, with a total of six sessions, the stretch corresponding to the group to which they have been assigned. In the case of the Long Lever Group, the intervention consists in a rotary stretch through the humerus as a mobile point. And in the case of the Short Lever Group a stretch of translocation through the scapula as a mobile point. The main variables used will be: age, side effects, habits involving the shoulder, pain intensity, pain threshold at pressure and function, among others. The dependent variables will be measured: pain intensity by means of Analogue Scale Visual, the function through the Constant-Murley test, the Movement Range with Goniometer and the Pressure Threshold Pain with a pressure gauge brand Stech.
This study compares the periodic effects of Accelerated rehabilitation protocol (ARP) and Mulligan mobilization with mowement method (MWM) in subacromial pain syndrome patients rehabilitation. Half of the participants will receive ARP, while the other half will receive MWM.
The investigators aim to compare subacromial ketorolac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) versus methylprednisolone (steroid) for the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of game-based virtual reality exercise added to conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). In order to evaluate its effectiveness, assessment of pain, range of motion and disability will be applied.
This study was planned to investigate the effects of Trigger Point-Dry Needling Therapy (TP-DNT) on night pain and Shoulder Internal Rotation (SIR) in individuals with Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SPS).
This study is to investigate whether combination of ultrasound-guided subdeltoidcorticosteroid injection and physiotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone in treatment of patients with chronic subacromial (or subdeltoid) bursitis (SAB).
Aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercises and Shoulder Mobilization (SM) on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality, and muscle strength in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Patients received 20 sessions (for 4 weeks) under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients were evaluated at baseline, at week two, at week four, and at week sixteen.
Subacromial shoulder injections can be approached from the front or side of the shoulder. The investigators are comparing both methods, to find which one has better spread in the subacromial space.
The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Functional Shoulder Score in Turkish patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).
