Effects of Different Frequencies of Physical Therapy Visits on Shoulder Function After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Objective: There is no consensus about the optimal frequency of patient visits during the rehabilitation program after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). This study aimed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) visits of the patients in the first 12 weeks of rehabilitation after ARCR.

Methods: This was a quasi-randomized study with 2 parallel groups.

Background: There is very limited information about the changes in shoulder kinematics in patients with reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The aim of the study was to investigate the changes in the scapulohumeral rhythm and shoulder kinematics over time after the reverse shoulder procedure.

Methods: Nineteen patients with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (age: 65.

Functional Performance Tests Reveal Promising Results at 6 Months After Shoulder Stabilization Surgery.

Background: Although athletes are mostly allowed to return to play 6 months after shoulder stabilization surgery, there are inadequate data about their functional status during this period.

Hypotheses: Performance tests would reveal insufficiency in the functional capacity of shoulder 6 months after stabilization surgery.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Turkish version of the shoulder instability-return to sport (SI-RSI) after injury scale.

To translate and culturally adapt the shoulder instability-return to sport after injury (SI-RSI) scale into Turkish (SI-RSI-Tr) and examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of athletes following a traumatic shoulder instability. The SI-RSI was translated into Turkish using Beaton guidelines. Sixty-nine patients with shoulder instability completed the translated SI-RSI, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), and the Walch-Duplay Scores.

The association of breast cancer-related lymphedema after unilateral mastectomy with shoulder girdle kinematics and upper extremity function.

The purpose of this study was to examine the association of breast cancer-related lymphedema on shoulder girdle kinematics and upper extremity function. The study included 67 breast cancer survivors with and without unilateral lymphedema. Individuals were divided into non-lymphedema, moderate and severe lymphedema groups according to the volumetric measurement difference between the affected and unaffected upper extremities.

Tender point examination with palpation in different shoulder pathologies: A retrospective study.

Background: Shoulder pain is a common symptom for non-traumatic shoulder pathologies and affects 4.7-66.7% of entire population.

The repeatability of 3-dimensional scapular kinematic analysis during bilateral upper extremity movements.

Although three-dimensional electromagnetic systems are widely used to evaluate the 3-dimensional scapular kinematics their reliability when testing bilateral upper extremity tasks is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the repeatability of the scapular kinematic analyses using the Flock of Birds (FOB) system during bilateral upper extremity movements. Twenty-one volunteers without shoulder problems were included (aged 24.

Alterations in the 3-dimensional scapular orientation in patients with non-specific neck pain.

Background: Although it is thought that there is a relationship between neck pain and scapular dysfunction, there are controversial results and no clear information in the literature regarding this issue. This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the 3-Dimensional scapular orientation on patients with non-specific neck pain.

Method: Thirty-four patients with chronic non-specific neck pain [age, 29.

Correction to: Effect of taping on scapular kinematics of patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

The published version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in Fig. 2. Only one graphic of different movement of scapula was published instead of three.

Effect of taping on scapular kinematics of patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of scapular taping on scapular kinematics by three-dimensional electromagnetic system during shoulder elevation in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patients. A total of 11 patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy were included in the study. Scapular anterior-posterior tilt, upward-downward rotation, and internal-external rotations were evaluated using the three-dimensional electromagnetic system during the elevation of the upper limbs in the scapular plane before and after kinesio taping.

Does scapular corrective taping alter periscapular muscle activity and 3-dimensional scapular kinematics? A systematic review.

Study Design: This is a systematic review.

Introduction: Scapular taping is widely used in the management of scapular dysfunction. However, its effects on the scapular kinematics and the electromyography (EMG) activity of the periscapular muscles are not clear.

A three-dimensional scapular motion analysis in patients with arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair of the shoulder: The effect of scapular stabilization taping.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the scapular kinematics during dynamic humeral movements in patients with arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair of the shoulder along with the potential biomechanical corrective effects of scapular stabilization taping.

Methods: Twenty patients with unilateral traumatic anterior shoulder instability and arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair participated in the study. Dynamic shoulder kinematics were assessed during the scapular plane shoulder elevation for both the operated and non operated shoulders and also under two conditions: no-taping and taping.

Cross-education improves quadriceps strength recovery after ACL reconstruction: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of concentric and eccentric cross-education (CE) on quadriceps strength and knee function recoveries after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods: Forty-eight patients (age: 29.5 ± 6.

Neck and Scapula-Focused Exercise Training on Patients With Nonspecific Neck Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of additional 6-week scapular stabilization training in patients with nonspecific neck pain (NNP).

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 patients with NNP were randomly allocated to the study. Fifteen participants in the intervention group received neck-focused exercise and scapular stabilization training, whereas 15 participants in the control group received neck-focused exercise training.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the anterior cruciate ligament-return to sport after injury (ACL-RSI) scale into Turkish.
