QUESTION What factors at admission are associated with shoulder pain during stroke rehabilitation? DESIGN Retrospective audit of medical histories and logistic regression. PARTICIPANTS 94 people with primary diagnosis of stroke attending inpatient rehabilitation. OUTCOME MEASURES Predictors were a battery of impairments, stroke-related factors, and patient characteristics. The outcome of ...

INTRODUCTION Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk impaired shoulder function due to the inflammatory process. The knowledge of shoulder function in the early years of the disease is limited. The aim was to compare shoulder function and activity limitation related to the shoulder-arm-hand in women with RA in early disease course compared to age-matched healthy women. METHOD This contro...

Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is a common condition characterized by shoulder pain and stiffness. In patients in whom conservative measures have failed, more invasive interventions such as arthrographic or arthroscopic distension can be very effective in relieving symptoms and improving range of movement. However, absolute contraindications to these procedures include the presence of n...

Upper limb three-dimensional movement analysis (UL-3DMA) offers a reliable and valid tool to evaluate movement patterns in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP). However, it remains unknown to what extent the underlying motor impairments explain deviant movement patterns. Such understanding is key to develop efficient rehabilitation programs. Although UL-3DMA has been shown to be a usef...

Background: Self-reported measures represent patients' perspectives toward their disease, but performance levels may vary. Performance-based mimic the patient's functional activity movement, which helps evaluate specific task components, including how therapist approached task. Both report level from or therapist's perspective. The study was done to determine correlation between self-reported a...

A rotator cuff tear causes shoulder pain and limits movement of the shoulder joint. A chronic degenerative change or impingement is the reason for a rotator cuff tear. Diagnosis is made based on medical history and, physical and radiological examinations. Other causes of shoulder pain include calcific tendinitis, degenerative arthropathy, joint dislocation, fracture, and primary or metastatic n...

There are multiple errors in the second and third sentences of the third paragraph of the Introduction. The correct sentences are: The study by MacDonald et al. [13] has already shown that the EMG onset of the DM is dependent on the direction of shoulder movement. The study by Lee et al. [14] demonstrated that the EMG onset of thorax multifidus does depend on the direction of shoulder joint mov...

The authors aimed to identify differences in (a) visual search and (b) reaction time when athletes sidestepped to intercept 2D versus 3D videoed opponents. They hypothesized that participants would (a) fixate on different parts of the opponent's body and (b) react quicker when responding to the 3D versus 2D opponent due to the added depth cues. A customized integrated stereoscopic system projec...
