Shoulder instability is a common clinical event, with most causes due to capsulolabral pathology within the shoulder joint. We present a case of a young male with chronic recurrent anteroinferior instability due to impingement of a proximal humerus osteochondroma on the glenoid during shoulder range of motion. Excision of the osteochondroma and repair of the anteroinferior capsule to the humeral neck successfully treated the instability and enabled a rapid improvement in patient function.

The shoulder joint is an enarthrodial or ball-and-socket joint. A complex network of anatomic structures endows the human shoulder with tremendous mobility, greater than any other joint in the body. Many pathologies can been found in those patients with chronic shoulder pain. The painful limitation of shoulder motion affects hand and arm motion as well; therefore, it significantly influences work performance and everyday activities as well as the quality of life. Therefore, the treatment of patients with chronic shoulder pain has major social and health economic implications. In this article we present a patient with a complex history of shoulder pathology including 7 surgeries that left the patient with chronic debilitating shoulder pain. She was suffering from chronic pain and limited mobility of the shoulder joint due to adhesive shoulder capsulitis. She was treated with a multimodality approach with the goals of increasing shoulder range of motion and decreasing her pain. This did not provide significant improvement. The suprascapular nerve supplies motor and sensory innervation to the shoulder, and can be easily accessible in the supraspinatus fossa. A suprascapular nerve block dramatically decreased her pain. This clinical observation along with confirmatory nerve block play an important role during the decision-making process for a trial period of electrical neuromodulation. She was followed for 3 months after the permanent implantation of a suprascapular nerve stimulator. Her pain and shoulder range of motion in all planes improved dramatically. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of the suprascapular nerve, in addition to multimodality pain management, is one approach to the difficult task of treating adhesive capsulitis with accompanying pain and the inability to move the shoulder. We conducted a literature review on PubMed and found no case describing a similar patient to our knowledge. Key words: Suprascapular nerve, neuromodulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, adhesive capsulitis, chronic shoulder pain

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, who had been treated with repair of the Bankart lesion without capsuler plication. Material and method: The study included 22 shoulders of 22 patients (16 males and 6 females) with a mean age of 28 years, who underwent Bankart repair between 2011 and 2014. Patients with bilateral shoulder instability, multiple instability, >25% glenoid bone loss, and those with a history of shoulder surgery were not included in the study. The average follow-up time was 21.2 months. Evaluation was made of the preoperative number of dislocations, postoperative recurrence, functional status, and daily activity performance of the patients. Shoulder range of motion was measured. The results were evaluated using the Rowe shoulder score and the Oxford shoulder instability score. Results: Recurrence was observed in only one patient who had a shoulder dislocation after trauma, thus giving a recurrence rate of 4.5%. Shoulder range of motion was full in all except that one patient. The mean Rowe shoulder score was 95.5 (excellent) and Oxford shoulder stability score was 44.6 (excellent). Conclusion: No recurrent shoulder dislocation was observed in patients who underwent Bankart repair surgery. Plication was not performed with the Bankart repair. Close to full range of motion was obtained in all patients. In conclusion, Bankart repair alone can be considered to be sufficient for the treatment of traumatic recurrent anterior shoulder instability.

ABSTRACT Background: Frozen shoulder is a shoulder joint disorder that occurs in 2-5% of the world’s total population and causes pain, causing shoulder joint motion to be limited. Limited range of shoulder joint motion in frozen shoulder causing diminished functional activity ability. This research aims to determine the effect of giving training on scapula patterns to increase the range of shoulder movement in frozen shoulder case. Subjects and Method: This was an experimental study with one groups pre and posttest design. This study was conducted for 4 weeks with 8 times treatment at RSAL Dr. Ramelan Surabaya. The subjects selected in this study were six persons based on criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The dependent variable was shoulder range of motion. The independent variable was scapular pattern exercise. The data were collected by goniometer instrument and analyzed by paired T test. Results: Paired T test showed that shoulder range of motion exorotation (p= 0.001; 95% CI= -15.95 to -7.38) (Mean= 11.67; SD= 4.08), shoulder range of motion abduction (p< 0.001; 95% CI= -50.75 to -39.25) (Mean= 45.00; SD= 5.48), shoulder range of motion endorotation (p< 0.001, 95% CI= -29.73 to -15.27) (Mean= 22.50; SD= 6.89). Conclusion: Scapular pattern exercise can be recommended as a therapy to increase the range of motion of the shoulder joint in cases of frozen shoulder.

The overhead-throwing athlete is a challenging sports medicine patient. The repetitive microtraumatic stresses imposed on the athlete’s shoulder joint complex during the throwing motion constantly places the athlete at risk for injury. These stresses may effect several adaptations to normal shoulder range of motion, strength, and scapula position. The clinician should therefore appreciate the unique physical characteristics of the overhead-throwing athlete to accurately evaluate and treat throwing-related injuries.

Background: Frozen Shoulder is a painful shoulder condition with insidious onset that was associated with stiffness and loss of motion in the shoulder joint. Mulligan Mobilization with Movement for shoulder joint combines sustained manual application of ‘gliding’ force to a joint, with the aim of repositioning the positional faults with concurrent physiological motion of the joint. Kinesiotaping improves glenohumeral motions and reduces microtrauma and mechanical irritation of soft tissue structures and reorient shoulder movements through arc of improved glenohumeral motion. Objective: To compare effect of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement and Kinesiotaping on pain and active shoulder range of motion using VAS and universal goniometer. Method: 30 subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly allocated into 2 groups of 15 each. Group A received Mulligan Mobilization with Movement and Group B received Kinesiotaping for shoulder joint. Pre and Post intervention shoulder external rotation, abduction and internal rotation range of motion and VAS scores were analysed. Result: The statistical analysis showed that there is a significant increase in range of motion and significant reduction in pain scores post intervention in both the groups (p<0.0001). However, inter group analysis showed that Group A is much more effective in improving range of motion and reducing pain scores. Conclusion: The present study concluded that Mulligan Mobilization With Movement is a better intervention on Frozen shoulder as it shows greater increase in shoulder range of motion and significant pain reduction when compared to Kinesiotaping technique. Key words: Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM), Kinesiotaping, Frozen shoulder, pain, Range of Motion.

This is a preliminary study to investigate the feasibility of electronic moxibustion in breast cancer patients with upper limb lymphedema. As current treatment options for lymphedema are unsatisfactory and time consuming, there have been attempts to manage symptoms using integrative treatments. Electronic moxibustion was developed to compensate for the shortcomings of conventional moxibustion and is widely used in clinical practice. However, there have been no studies on using electronic moxibustion in breast cancer-related lymphedema. To investigate the feasibility of electronic moxibustion in treating breast cancer-related lymphedema, this study included subjects who completed primary cancer treatment at least 6 months ago and had more than 10 mm difference in arm circumference of upper limbs. All subjects were assigned to the treatment group. Subjects were treated with 16 sessions (30 minutes/session) of electronic moxibustion for 8 weeks followed by 4 weeks of follow-up. For outcome measures, upper limb circumferences, shoulder range of motion, bioimpedance analysis, and quality of life questionnaire were assessed. All 10 subjects completed the study. The effective index showed 38.21% reduction after treatment ( P = .0098) and 29.35% ( P = .0039) after 4 weeks of follow-up compared to the baseline. The reduction of lymphedema was most prominent at 10 cm above the elbow crease, where the mean reduction of circumference difference was 7.5 mm ( P = .0430) and continued to improve after treatment (mean reduction of 8.3 mm, P = .0156). There was significant improvement in shoulder range of motion only in flexion and internal rotation at week 9. There were 7 adverse events, and most were irrelevant to the treatment. Only 1 participant had a mild burn on the acupuncture point. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that electronic moxibustion treatment is a feasible treatment for breast cancer-related lymphedema. Electronic moxibustion may reduce differences in upper limb circumference and improve shoulder range of motion. A future comparative clinical trial is needed to confirm the clinical efficacy of this treatment.

BACKGROUND: Persisting shoulder stiffness adversely affects quality of life by causing pain and motion restrictions especially in patients with diabetes. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic capsular release in patients with idiopathic shoulder stiffness. METHOD: A literature search was conducted in electronic databases and studies were selected by following precise eligibility criteria. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed to estimate the changes at latest follow-up in scores of the Constant, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), and University of California at Los Angelis (UCLA) scales, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and shoulder range of motion. RESULTS: Nineteen studies were included. The follow-up duration was 42 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 32, 51]. Improvements in scores of the Constant, ASES, UCLA scales, and VAS were 48.3 [95% CI: 38.0, 58.6], 44.6 [95% CI: 24.6, 64.6], 19.3 [95% CI: 16.6, 22.0], and -6.1 [95% CI: -6.9, -5.4] respectively (P< 0.05 all). Improvements in the shoulder range of motion were: abduction 82.0 [95% CI: 65.0, 98.9]; forward flexion 75.9 [95% CI: 59.7, 92.1]; external rotation 43.2 [95% CI: 37.5, 49.0]; and internal rotation 25.4 [95% CI: 15.2, 35.5] degrees; P< 0.05 all). CONCLUSION: Arthroscopic capsular release effectively improves shoulder function in patients with idiopathic shoulder stiffness.

AbstractCurrently it is hypothesized that increased body mass index may contribute to overuse injuries. Thus, if hip or shoulder range of motion is affected by body mass index, pitchers may be placing additional stress on joints as they seek to pitch at maximal velocity. The purpose of this study was to examine if range of motion at the hips and shoulders were related to body mass index classification. A sample of 147 female softball pitchers (17.0±4.2 years; 167.6±11.8 cm; 70.6±17.5 kg; body mass index=24.8±4.7 kg/m2) participated. Bilateral hip and shoulder range of motion were assessed. Multivariate analysis of variance results indicated body mass index [Wilks’ Λ=0.742, F=1.722, p=0.014, η2=0.095] significantly affected range of motion of the shoulder and hip. Post hoc results indicated the underweight group had significantly more range of motion than the obese group in hip internal range of motion on both the throwing side (mean difference=12.39, p=0.005) and glove side (mean difference=11.98, p=0.004). Although body composition is not overly emphasized among softball pitchers, the current study reveals excess weight may inhibit proper mechanics. Coaches, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning personnel, and athletes should acknowledge the role that body composition can play in affecting pitch outcomes.

IntroductionShoulder instability injuries are common in sports involving collisions and overhead movements. Arthroscopic Bankart repair and the open Latarjet are two commonly used surgical stabilisation procedures. There is a lack of knowledge surrounding movement strategies, joint loading and muscle strength after each of these procedures. This study will compare: (1) shoulder joint neuromechanics during activities of daily living and an overhead sporting task; (2) shoulder range of motion; (3) shoulder strength; and (4) self-reported shoulder function and health status, between individuals who have undergone an arthroscopic Bankart repair versus open Latarjet.Methods and analysisThis is a prospective cohort, single-centre, non-randomised parallel arm study of surgical interventions for athletic shoulder instability injuries. Thirty participants will be recruited. Of these, 20 will have experienced one or more traumatic shoulder instability injuries requiring surgical stabilisation—and will undergo an arthroscopic Bankart repair or open Latarjet procedure. The remaining 10 participants will have no history of shoulder instability injury and act as controls. Participants will undergo baseline testing and be followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months. A two-way (group×time) analysis of variance with repeated measures on one factor (ie, time) will compare each outcome measure between groups across time points.Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the Barwon Health and Deakin University Human Research Ethics Committees. Outcomes will be disseminated through publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at relevant scientific conferences.Trial registration numberAustralian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12620000016932).
