[Purpose] To evaluate treatments with interferential current, hot pack, ultrasound therapy, stretching, strengthening and range-of-motion exercises, comparing between the right and left shoulders in terms of pain and functional capacity in patients with frozen shoulder. This was a retrospective study. [Subjects and Methods] Sixty-four patients (34 right side, 30 left side) were treated with int...

AIMS The aim of our study was to compare the effects of suprascapular nerve block in patients with frozen shoulder and diabetes mellitus unresponsive to intraarticular steroid injections. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Ten patients without improvement of sign and symptoms after intraarticular injections were made a suprascapular nerve block. METHODS Pain levels and active range of movement of patients...

In this paper, an approach for 3D motion estimation of head and shoulders of persons in videophone sequences is presented. Since head and shoulders are linked together by the neck, constraints for the motion of head and shoulders exist which are exploited to improve the motion estimation. In this paper, the human neck joint is modelled by a spherical joint between head and shoulders and its 3D ...

Bernard of Chartres (via Sir Isaac Newton) reminded us that all progress is achieved “on the shoulders of giants” – that our greatest discoveries and innovations build upon the inspirations, triumphs, and foundational truths established by those who have gone before us. However, in our field of Software Engineering, as new ideas are transmitted at the speed of light, rather than the speed of Be...

Purpose To assess the angiographic findings and effects of transcatheter arterial embolization on physical activity histopathology using a frozen shoulder rat model. Materials Methods First, histopathologic rats in which was immobilized with molding plaster for 6 weeks (n = 4) were compared to control normal non-immobilized shoulders 4). Next, total 16 divided into 2 groups. In group 8), imipen...

We reviewed 26 patients with 34 shoulders treated by the inferior capsular shift operation for inferior and multidirectional instability. The mean follow-up was 8.3 years. In total, 12 shoulders showed voluntary subluxation. Eight operations used an anterior and posterior approach, 11 were by the posterior route, and 15 shoulders had an anterior approach. In 30 shoulders (85%) the outcome was s...
