The management of irreparable rotator cuff tears associated with osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint has long been challenging. Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) was designed to provide pain relief and improve shoulder function in patients with severe rotator cuff tear arthropathy. While this procedure has been known to reduce pain, improve strength and increase range of motion in ...

INTRODUCTION The minimal bony constraint of the glenohumeral joint (GHJ) enables it to achieve a remarkable range of motion. Consequently, the stability of the joint must be maintained by the surrounding soft tissue structures; in particular the rotator cuff. The data available on normal shoulder function is sparse due to complex kinematics of the GHJ and technical difficulties in acquiring the...

An eight-year-old, male, thoracic limb amputee Whippet presented with a traumatic lateral luxation of the scapulohumeral joint. Surgical reduction and stabilisation of the shoulder joint by means of a modified Campbell scapulohumeral prosthesis and capsulorrhaphy was unsuccessful and reluxation of the shoulder joint occurred. Subsequent surgical stabilisation using bicipital tendon transpositio...

BACKGROUND Adhesive capsulitis is a common disabling condition, with reviews reporting up to 5.3% of the population being affected, the burden placed upon individuals and healthcare services may therefore be considered substantial. For recovering the normal extensibility of the capsule in individuals with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, passive stretching of the capsule through end-range m...

Unlike individuals with mild stroke, individuals with severe stroke are constrained to stereotypical movement patterns attributed to abnormal coupling of shoulder abductors with elbow flexors, and shoulder adductors with elbow extensors. Whether abnormal muscle coactivation and associated joint torque patterns can be changed in this population is important to determine given that it bears on th...

frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that perturbs movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. to date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. a 45-year-old man wi...

Frozen shoulder also known as adhesive capsulitis is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the joint. It occurs when tissues joint become thick stiff making it difficult to move shoulder. an experimental design conducted SGT medical college amongst 40 60 years population department of physiotherapy collaborative community medicine. To investigate impact Matrix Rhythm Therapy on discomfo...

The shoulder joint is the foundation for excellent upper extremity function. It contributes to stability and basic movements like rotation and elevation of the arm. Shoulder fusion should not be accepted even for total palsy, and nerve repair should be recommended as long as an available donor nerve exists. In planning the reconstructive procedure for shoulder function, accurate biomechanical a...

Background Ultrasound (US) is an effective modality in the evaluation of shoulder dislocation and reduction. In most studies, high frequency US probes have been used. Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of low frequency US in the diagnosis of shoulder dislocation and its proper reduction in the emergency department (ED). Methods In a prospective observational study 84 pat...

BACKGROUND To validate the Persian version of the simple shoulder test in patients with shoulder joint problems. METHODS Following Beaton`s guideline, translation and back translation was conducted. We reached to a consensus on the Persian version of SST. To test the face validity in a pilot study, the Persian SST was administered to 20 individuals with shoulder joint conditions. We enrolled ...
