Introduction: This service evaluation explored and reported findings from a new physiotherapist-led service offering suprascapular nerve blocks (SSNBs) to patients with persistent shoulder pain.
Methods: We collected data before the SSNB injection and at the 6-weeks and 6-month follow-up from consecutive patients with persistent shoulder pain being treated by physiotherapists or an anaesthetist. Outcomes were patient-reported pain (numerical rating scale [NRS 0 to 10]), patient-specific functional score (PSFS) and health-related quality of life [the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ5D-5 L)].
Background: Balance is commonly affected by multiple factors, especially among the elderly population. Visual biofeedback (VBF) is an intervention tool that can be used in balance rehabilitation.
Aim: This study aimed to systematically review randomized controlled trials that examine whether VBF training is effective in improving balance in an elderly population.
