A Central Nervous System Focused Treatment Program for People with Frozen Shoulder: A Feasibility Study
2022
Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a highly disabling pathology of poorly understood etiology, which is characterized by the presence of intense pain and progressive loss of range of motion (ROM). The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical impact of a CNS-focused treatment program for people with FS. Methods: 10 subjects with primary FS received a 10-week CNS-focused intervention including sensory discrimination training and graded motor imagery techniques delivered as clinic sessions (60 min) and home therapy (30 min five times per week). Measurements were taken at baseline, after a 2-week “washout” period, after treatment, and at three months follow-up.…
Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: laser CO2 vs intra-articular injections
2012
Analysis of our data shows that the functional rehabilitation associated with the CO2 laser causes a greater reduction in pain, better recovery of joint ROM and increase in muscle strength compared to treatment associated with injections of corticosteriods
Adhesive capsulitis in a patient affected by KBG Syndrome
2021
Background and Case presentation: KBG syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome with variable presentation. Many physical anomalies also affect the orthopaedic field. We present a case of a young woman with diagnosis of KBG syndrome that is also affected by joint stiffness and adhesive capsulitis to the shoulders. Discussion: Many other cases have been reported to present joint stiffness and formation of keloids. Adhesive capsulitis is known to be related to autoimmune pathologies and endocrinological disorders. KBG syndrome is caused by heterozygous mutation in ANKRD11 gene and few patients with hypermobility of the joints have also been reported. Conclusions: The KBG syndrome mig…
A central nervous system-focused treatment approach for people with frozen shoulder: protocol for a randomized clinical trial
2019
Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a musculoskeletal condition of poorly understood etiology that results in shoulder pain and large mobility deficits. Despite some physical therapy interventions, such as joint mobilization and exercise, having shown therapeutic benefit, a definitive treatment does not currently exist. The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of a central nervous system (CNS)-directed treatment program versus a standard medical and physical therapy care program on outcomes in participants with FS. Methods/design: The study is a two-group, randomized clinical trial with blinding of participants and assessors. Participants will be recruited via referrals fr…
