Association of Shoulder Pain with the use of mobility devices in persons with chronic spinal cord injury.
PM & R : the journal of injury function and rehabilitation, 2010Co-Authors: Nitin B. Jain, Laurence D. Higgins, Jeffrey N. Katz, Eric GarshickAbstract:Objective To assess the prevalence of Shoulder Pain and its association with the use of assistive devices for mobility in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Design Cross-sectional analysis conducted within a cohort study. Setting SCI service in a hospital and the community. Participants Between August 2005 and January 2008, 93 participants with chronic SCI completed a standardized health questionnaire and Pain questionnaire. Main Outcome Measures Shoulder Pain in last 6 months elicited by use of the McGill Pain Questionnaire Pain diagram. Results Of the 93 participants, 65 (69.9%) reported Pain at any site in the 6 months before testing. Shoulder Pain, reported by 39.8% of participants, was the third most common site of Pain after the legs and back. When stratified by the use of assistive mobility devices, Shoulder Pain was reported by 46.7% of motorized wheelchair users, 35.4% of manual wheelchair users, 47.6% of participants using aids such as crutch(es) or canes, and 33.3% of participants walking without assistance ( P = .7 for comparison of 4 groups). Conclusions Shoulder Pain is highly prevalent in SCI. The authors of previous studies have largely attributed Shoulder Pain in SCI to manual wheelchair use. However, our results provide evidence for similarly elevated prevalence of Shoulder Pain among motorized wheelchair users and those patients using crutches or canes. This finding suggests that in addition to overuse injury from cyclic wheelchair propulsion, the assessment of other mechanical and nonmechanical factors that lead to Shoulder Pain in SCI is an unmet research need that may have treatment implications.

Shoulder Pain in the swiss spinal cord injury community prevalence and associated factors
Disability and Rehabilitation, 2018Co-Authors: Fransiska M Bossuyt, Inge Erikshoogland, Ursina Arnet, Martin W G Brinkhof, Veronika Lay, Rachel Muller, Mikael Sunnaker, Timo HinrichsAbstract:AbstractPurpose: To determine the prevalence of Shoulder Pain and to identify factors associated with Shoulder Pain in a nationwide survey of individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Switzerland.Methods: Data was collected through the 2012 community survey of the Swiss SCI Cohort Study (SwiSCI) (N = 1549; age 52.3 ± 14.8; 29% female). Sociodemographic and socioeconomic circumstances, SCI characteristics, health conditions as well as mobility independence and sporting activities were evaluated as predictor variables. Analyses were adjusted for item non-response (using multiple imputation) and unit-nonresponse (using inverse probability weighting).Results: The adjusted prevalence of Shoulder Pain was 35.8% (95% CI: 33.4–38.3). Multivariable regression analysis revealed higher odds of Shoulder Pain in females as compared to males (odds ratio: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.44–2.47), and when spasticity (1.36; 1.00–1.85) and contractures (2.47; 1.91–3.19) were apparent. Individuals with complete paraplegia (1.62;...

elite swimmers with and without unilateral Shoulder Pain mechanical hyperalgesia and active latent muscle trigger points in neck Shoulder muscles
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2013Co-Authors: Amparo Hidalgolozano, Pascal Madeleine, Carmen Calderonsoto, Antonio Domingocamara, Cesar Fernandezdelaspenas, Manuel ArroyomoralesAbstract:Our aim was to investigate the presence of mechanical hypersensitivity and active trigger points (TrPs) in the neck–Shoulder muscles in elite swimmers with/without unilateral Shoulder Pain. Seventeen elite swimmers with Shoulder Pain; 18 swimmers without Shoulder Pain; and 15 elite athletes matched controls were recruited. Pressure Pain thresholds (PPT) were assessed over the levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, infraspinatus, scalene, subscapularis and tibialis anterior muscles. TrPs in the levator scapulae, upper trapezius, infraspinatus, scalene, sternocleidomastoid and subscapularis muscles were also explored. Swimmers with Shoulder Pain showed significant lower PPT in all muscles compared with controls (P<0.01). No differences in PPT were found between swimmers with and without Shoulder Pain, underlining widespread mechanical hypersensitivity. The mean number of TrPs for elite swimmer with and without Shoulder Pain was, respectively, 4.7 ± 1 (2.1 ± 1.5 active; 2.6 ± 1.4 latent) and 4.7 ± 1.3 (1.3 ± 1.3 active; 3.4 ± 1.5 latent), whereas healthy athletes only showed latent TrPs (2.4 ± 1.2). Elite swimmers with Shoulder Pain showed higher number of active TrPs than swimmers without Pain, whereas it was the opposite for the number of latent muscle TrP (P<0.05). The reported mechanical hypersensitivity suggests that active TrPs play a role in the development of Shoulder Pain in elite swimmers.

elite swimmers with unilateral Shoulder Pain demonstrate altered pattern of cervical muscle activation during a functional upper limb task
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2012Co-Authors: Amparo Hidalgolozano, Pascal Madeleine, Carmen Calderonsoto, Antonio Domingocamara, Cesar Fernandezdelaspenas, Manuel ArroyomoralesAbstract:Study Design Cross-sectional cohort study. Objective To investigate the differences in the level of activation of neck-Shoulder muscles between elite swimmers with and without Shoulder Pain during a functional upper-limb task. Background Previous studies have reported altered motor control of the neck-Shoulder muscles in patients with chronic neck-Shoulder Pain. Whether the activation of neck-Shoulder muscles is altered among elite swimmers who have Shoulder Pain is unknown. Methods Surface electromyography from the sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, and anterior scalene (SCL) muscles was recorded bilaterally in 17 elite swimmers (9 men, 8 women; mean ± SD age, 21 ± 3 years) with unilateral Shoulder Pain, and 17 age- and sex-matched elite swimmers without Pain. Root-mean-square values were calculated and normalized to assess the level of muscular activation 5 seconds before, 120 seconds into, 150 seconds into, and 10 seconds after a functional upper-limb task. Results The data revealed significant diff...

suprascapular nerve block for Shoulder Pain in the first year after stroke a randomized controlled trial
Stroke, 2013Co-Authors: Zoe Adeywakeling, Maria Crotty, Michael E ShanahanAbstract:Background and Purpose—Shoulder Pain is a common complication after stroke that can impede participation in rehabilitation and has been associated with poorer outcomes. Evidence-based treatments for hemiplegic Shoulder Pain are limited. Suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) is a safe and effective treatment of Shoulder Pain associated with arthritic Shoulder conditions, but its usefulness in a stroke population is unclear. Methods—We undertook a randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of SSNB in a population of 64 stroke patients (onset < 1 year) with hemiplegic Shoulder Pain. The primary outcome was Pain measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes were disability (Modified Rankin Scale, Croft Disability Index) and quality of life (EuroQol Health Questionnaire). All participants were assessed before randomization, and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks postintervention. Both groups continued with routine therapy. Results—Although both intervention and control groups demonstrated reduction ...

does suprascapular nerve block reduce Shoulder Pain following stroke a double blind randomised controlled trial with masked outcome assessment
BMC Neurology, 2010Co-Authors: Zoe A Allen, E M Shanahan, Maria CrottyAbstract:Shoulder Pain is a common complication of a stroke which can impede participation in rehabilitation programs and has been associated with poorer outcomes. The evidence base for current medical and therapeutic management options of hemiplegic Shoulder Pain is limited. This study will evaluate the use of suprascapular nerve block injection as part of an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of Shoulder Pain following stroke. The technique has previously been proven safe and effective in the treatment of Shoulder Pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative Shoulder conditions but its usefulness in a stroke population is unclear.
