Aerobic Training and Ointment Effect on range of motion, von Willebrand factor, vascular endothelial factor and Femoral Artery Hemodynamics in Joint Contracture: A Rat Model.

Objective: Using a rat model, we investigated the effect of multidisciplinary rehabilitation, including aerobic training and ointment, on the ROM, vWF, VEGF content, and femoral artery hemodynamics in rats with joint contracture.

Methods: A total of 44 Wistar rats were divided into the normal control group (NC, eight rats) and the experimental group (EG). A joint contracture model was established for the rats in the EG group by an external fixator.

Factors associated with frozen shoulder in adults: a retrospective study.

Objective: This study aims to explore the risk factors associated with frozen shoulder patients and further analyze the relationship between gender and diabetes with frozen shoulder.

Method: We have reviewed the data of 1205 frozen shoulder patients in China's Xinjiang region from 2018 to 2023. The collected information included patients' gender, occupation, place of origin, marital status, age, the season of disease onset, duration of illness, etiology, surgical history, hypertension, diabetes, respiratory diseases, knee joint disease, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, rheumatoid arthritis, hyperuricemia, sleep quality, smoking and alcohol consumption, and constipation.
