Introduction: The Brazilian Council of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy regulated the use of teleconsultation during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating uncertainty about its use in Brazil. Objective: To describe the experience of teleconsultations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Four patients participated in the study with the following diagnoses: Parkinson’s disease, stroke, peripheral facial paralysis, and tibial plateau fracture. Patients underwent up to 10 physiotherapy sessions via digital tools.  The 5-A self-management tool (Assess, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange) guided the sessions. Results: The teleconsultation type varied between synchronous (n = 1; 25%); asynchronous (n = 2; 50%) and synchronous/asynchronous (n = 1; 25%). There was 75% (n = 3) adherence and one withdrawal (25%). As the benefits of teleconsultations, the patients pointed out the convenience, maintenance of the exercises, and contact with the professional. The reported limitations were the lack of the use of physiotherapeutic devices. Conclusion: Teleconsultations contribute to the continuity of physiotherapy treatment during social isolation. Adherence to treatment was facilitated by access to the technology and by offering patients the choice of teleconsultation type.

Abstract Background and Purpose. The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of end-range mobilization techniques in the management of patients with adhesive capsulitis. Case Description. Four men and 3 women (mean age=50.2 years, SD=6.0, range=41–65) with adhesive capsulitis of the glenohumeral joint (mean disease duration=8.4 months, SD=3.3, range= 3–12) were treated with end-range mobilization techniques, twice a week for 3 months. Indexes of pain, joint mobility, and function were measured by the same observer before treatment, after 3 months of treatment, and at the time of a 9-month follow-up. In addition, arthrographic assessment of joint capacity (ie, the amount of fluid the joint can contain) and measurement of range of motion of glenohumeral abduction on a plain radiograph were conducted initially and after 3 months of treatment. Outcomes. After 3 months of treatment, there were increases in active range of motion. Mean abduction increased from 91 degrees (SD=16, range=70–120) to 151 degrees (SD=22, range=110–170), mean flexion in the sagittal plane increased from 113 degrees (SD=17, range=90–145) to 147 degrees (SD=18, range=115–175), and mean lateral rotation increased from 13 degrees (SD=13, range=0–40) to 31 degrees (SD=11, range=15–50). There were also increases in passive range of motion: Mean abduction increased from 96 degrees (SD=18, range=70–125) to 159 degrees (SD=24, range 110–180), mean flexion in the sagittal plane increased from 120 degrees (SD=16, range=95–145) to 154 degrees (SD=19, range=120–180), and mean lateral rotation increased from 21 degrees (SD=11, range=10–45) to 41 degrees (SD=8, range=35–55). The mean capacity of the glenohumeral joint capsule (its ability to contain fluid) increased from 10 cc (SD=3, range=6–15) to 15 cc (SD=3, range=10–20). Four patients rated their improvement in shoulder function as excellent, 2 patients rated it as good, and 1 patient rated it as moderate. All patients maintained their gain in joint mobility at the 9-month follow-up. Discussion. There seems to be a role for intensive mobilization techniques in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. Controlled studies regarding the effectiveness of end-range mobilization techniques in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis are warranted.

Abstract Background and Purpose. The authors found no literature describing adhesive capsulitis as a consequence of spinal accessory nerve injury and no exercise program or protocol for patients with spinal accessory nerve injury. The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of a patient with adhesive capsulitis and spinal accessory nerve injury following a carotid endarterectomy. Case Description. The patient was a 67-year-old woman referred for physical therapy following manipulation of the left shoulder and a diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis by her orthopedist. Spinal accessory nerve injury was identified during the initial physical therapy examination, and a program of neuromuscular electrical stimulation was initiated. Outcomes. The patient had almost full restoration of the involved muscle function after 5 months of physical therapy. Discussion. This case report illustrates the importance of accurate diagnosis and suggests physical therapy intervention to manage adhesive capsulitis as a consequence of spinal accessory nerve injury.
