Effectiveness of Pragmatic Shoulder Technique VS Traditional Physical Therapy
Shoulder PainShoulder Impingement3 moreIsolated and combined effectiveness of pragmatic protocols on shoulder range of motion had been investigated and found effective in healthy participants. To our knowledge, there was insufficient literature to support the comparison between pragmatic and traditional protocols in the treatment of shoulder pathologies.

Rotator Cuff TearsShoulder PainThis study is a comparison of analgesia effect from peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) with liposomal bupivacaine combined with bupivacaine compared to PNB with ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Hyaluronic Acid, Corticosteroid and Electrotherapy in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
Subacromial ImpingementPain1 moreBackground: Electrotherapy, corticosteroid, and hyaluronic acid have been used to treat subacromial impingement syndrome. However, we need to compare treatment options to provide the optimal results. This study aims to compare the effect of hyaluronic acid, corticosteroid, and electrotherapy in subacromial impingement syndrome. Design: Ninety five patients were randomised into three equal groups according to treatment types. Hyaluronic acid (20 mg/2ml, three times one week apart) or corticosteroid (triamcinolone acetonide, 40 mg/ml, single dose) treatments were applied as subacromial injections. Electrotherapy consisted of 14 sessions TENS (20 min.), hotpack (20 min.) and ultrasound (1.5watt/cm2, 1 MHz, 6 min.). Patients were evaluated before treatment, one and four weeks post end of treatment. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ) were used as outcome measures.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain
Post-stroke Shoulder PainShoulder pain after stroke is one of the most common complications of stroke. Underlying mechanisms of shoulder pain after stroke still completely is not clarified. Central sensitization and neuropathic pain mechanisms are thought to play a role in the etiology of pain. Research on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy in the treatment of pain in which somatosensory sensitization mechanisms play a role is increasing day by day. There are studies showing that application of high-frequency rTMS to the primary motor cortex provides effective pain relieving in most of painful conditions. However, data in the literature regarding the application of high-frequency rTMS in shoulder pain after stroke are very limited. There is only one clinical study related to this. More studies are needed in this area.In our study, it was aimed to examine the effects of this treatment protocol applied on the effects of pain on daily activities, upper extremity disability, anxiety, depression, range of motion and neurophysiological parameters.

Effects of IASTM in the Treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis
PainShoulder2 moreThis study aimed to determine the effects of IASTM in combination with exercise in frozen shoulder. Thirty-five patients with phase II frozen shoulder included in this single-blind, randomized study. Patients were divided into two groups. In the first group exercise programme (Group 1) and in the second group IASTM in combination with exercise programme (Group 2) were applied for twelve sessions (two days per week for six week). The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and secondary outcomes were the visual analogue scale (VAS), the range of motion (ROM), The Constant score and Short- Form-36 (SF-36). Outcome measures were performed at baseline, after the 6th session and the 12th session.

Embodiment in Virtual Reality as a Telemedicine Digital Therapeutic for the Treatment of Chronic...
Chronic PainLow Back Pain1 moreChronic shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal pain condition that can have a profound impact on a sufferer's life and a large socioeconomic healthcare burden to society. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of delivering telemedicine enabled functional shoulder rehabilitation for chronic shoulder pain patients using immersive virtual reality. Ten chronic shoulder pain patients were recruited from local pain clinics. Patients engaged in three sessions of virtual embodiment training per week over the course of eight weeks. Rehabilitation sessions were delivered on an Oculus Quest head-mounted display and hand controllers. Rehabilitation exercises (virtual embodiment training) leverage techniques from graded motor imagery, such as visual mirror feedback and augmentation of the virtual avatar's movements. Eight pain assessments were administered prior to the first session, and at weeks four and eight to get an indication of the effect that telemedicine delivered virtual embodiment training has on symptoms of chronic shoulder pain.

Effects of Ballistic Exercises on Pain, Disability, and Explosive Strength in Tennis Players With...
Shoulder PainThe goal of this Randomized control trial is to determine ''Effects of ballistic exercises on pain, disability and explosive strength in tennis players with shoulder pain''. The main question it aims to answer is: To determine effect of ballistic exercises on pain, disability and explosive strength in tennis players with shoulder pain. Participants will be divided into 2 groups. Group-A will be treated with stretching and simple baseline strengthening of the upper limb through any regular mean (like TheraBand) in a moderate manner with 10 to 20 repetitions for 3 days per week for six weeks. Group B will be treated with stretching and then strengthening of the upper limb through ballistic six exercises from a moderate to intense manner with 3 sets of 10 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets, 3 sets of 15 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets, and 3 sets of 20 repetitions with a 30sec gap between sets for 3 to 4 days per week for six weeks.

Functional Movement Analysis (FMS) of Diaphragmatic Breathing-Immediate Effect on Shoulder Mobility...
Shoulder PainDiaphragm IssuesThe diaphragm is defined as a thin, smooth muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. The shoulder and diaphragm muscle have a clear relationship through innervation and myofascial tissue connection. Fascia is often neglected medically, rehabilitatively, or performance as the underlying cause of problems. Bones, organs, and muscles appear to float in the fascial web, a continuous three-dimensional system of connective tissue. Plastic and viscoelastic properties, which can change tension and shape under the influence of manual techniques and movement retraining, ensure that the structural changes are reversible. Functional Movement Analysis (FMS) is a screening system that aims to predict the risk of injury and functional deficiencies. FMS consists of 7 basic motion component tests. It is scored on a scale of zero to three and creates a composite score whose sum ranges from 0 to 21 points. One of the 7 motion models evaluated is shoulder mobility. According to the results of this study, people who perform activities that require shoulder mobility will be guided as to whether the use of diaphragmatic breathing will be effective for preparation, rehabilitation or performance improvement. The aim of the study was to observe whether shoulder mobility increased in healthy individuals taught diaphragm breathing compared to the control group.
