Article Synopsis
- Shoulder ultrasonography (US) is used to identify causes of shoulder pain, but its link to functional disability and daily activities hasn't been fully explored.
- The study examined 84 patients with shoulder pain, evaluating conditions like ACJ degeneration and tendon issues, using specific questionnaires to measure pain and physical function.
- Results showed significant correlations between US findings and patients' reported pain and disability, highlighting US's role in understanding how shoulder issues affect daily living.
Article Synopsis
- - YouTube is becoming a key platform for health information, prompting a study to evaluate the reliability and quality of videos related to facial paralysis exercises.
- - The research analyzed 100 videos using various assessment tools and found that only 48 met quality standards, revealing poor average scores, especially for videos created by non-healthcare professionals.
- - Overall, the study concluded that the quality of these exercise videos is medium to low, emphasizing the need for better content from reputable sources.
Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation, revealing that patients and caregivers often turn to this platform for information due to the difficulties of TBI recovery.
- Out of 100 videos initially reviewed, 72 met the criteria for analysis, and various quality metrics indicated a moderate overall quality, with healthcare professional-created videos scoring higher than those made by non-professionals.
- The findings suggest that for reliable TBI rehabilitation information, individuals should prioritize videos that are longer in duration, uploaded earlier, and produced by healthcare professionals, highlighting the need for improved quality of educational content on social media.

Turk J Phys Med Rehabil
December 2020
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a Turkish translation of the ABILHAND-Kids Survey, which measures upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy (CP), while also testing its validity and reliability for Turkish patients.
- A total of 109 pediatric CP patients participated in the study, and their demographic data and functional abilities were evaluated using the ABILHAND-Kids and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) surveys.
- Results showed the Turkish version of ABILHAND-Kids had high reliability (ICC=0.98) and strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.94), confirming it as a valid tool for assessing manual abilities in Turkish children with CP.
Easy Volumeter in Detection of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: A Validity Study.
Lymphat Res Biol
October 2019
The standard volumeter is heavy and fragile, and using the same volumeter for different patients can result in hygiene problems. These disadvantages point to the need for the development of a new model of volumeter. The new volumeter put forward in this study is lighter, smaller, sturdier, and easier to clean, while also having its own scale.

- - This study investigated the impact of continuous passive motion (CPM) shoulder exercises on lymphedema in breast cancer patients, comparing a group receiving a combination of CPM and complete decongestive therapy (CDT) to a control group receiving only CDT.
- - Thirty patients participated, and outcomes like shoulder range of motion, limb volume, and quality of life were measured over 15 treatment sessions; both groups showed improvements, but there were no significant differences between the two groups.
- - The research concluded that while CPM improved certain measures slightly, it did not significantly reduce breast cancer-related lymphedema compared to CDT alone.
