Dressing Autonomy for Frozen Shoulder Users

After the installation—or freezing—stage and stiffness—or frozen/adhesive—stage, the complete return to normal or close to normal strength and range of motion typically takes from 6 months to 2 years without treatment. During this final stage—also known as the thawing stage—joint mobility returns gradually, external rotation being the last motion to be recovered. Although during the 4–6 months period of the freezing stage, daily activities are very difficult but possible to handle by oneself, during the stiffness stage through the final stage, one may depend on others throughout the dressing process (AAOS, 2003; Xhardez, 1990). Adhesive capsulitis is a syndrome defined as idiopathic restriction of shoulder movement, that is, usually painful at onset. Secondary causes include alteration of the supporting structures of and around the shoulder resulting from an underlying condition, such as diabetes mellitus, rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear, subacromial bursitis, biceps tendinopathy, recent shoulder surgery or trauma, and inflammatory diseases (Ewald, 2011).
Endoscopic Surgery
Published in John G Webster, Minimally Invasive Medical Technology, 2016
During many minimally invasive surgical procedures, surgical tools are inserted through small incisions or even natural openings of the body. In order to observe the manipulated tissue and the surgical progress of the surgery, an endoscope is also inserted into the surgical site. Endoscopes are designed in different sizes and styles according to applications. Some of the various types include: Laparoscope. Designed for viewing in the abdominal area; applications include gall-bladder operations, hernia repair, appendix removal, etc.Arthroscope. Designed for viewing inside joints; applications include knee surgery, shoulder surgery, wrist surgery, or even spine surgery.Sinuscope. Designed for viewing nasal and sinus cavities; used in sinus surgery.Cystoscope. Designed for viewing the bladder; used in prostate surgery and other procedures related to the urinary and reproductive systems.Hysteroscope. Designed for viewing the uterus and assisting with certain gynecological procedures.Colonoscope. Used for viewing the colon.

The throwing shoulder in youth elite handball: adaptions of inferior but not anterior capsule thickness differ between the two sexes

Collection of demographic and handball-specific data was performed using a set of standardized surveys. Demographic data were age, height, weight, handball experience, history of previous shoulder injuries and previous hospitalizations with or without shoulder surgery. Handball-specific information included shoulder throwing dominance and player position. The study protocol included bilateral evaluation of the anterior and inferior capsule as well as humeral retrotorsion by means of ultrasound; external and internal rotation was analysed with a manual goniometer (Winkelmann et al., 2020). Each shoulder was assessed once for anterior and inferior capsule thickness (ACT, ICT), internal and external rotation and humeral retrotorsion by a radiologist with 5 years of experience in musculoskeletal ultrasound. Athletes were randomly assessed, with physicians blinded to the athletes’ dominant throwing shoulder. Prior to shoulder evaluation, each athlete had to complete a standardized warm-up routine which included light running, bilateral shoulder circles and light bilateral muscle activation exercises. No specific shoulder stretching was performed or measured before the assessment. Measurements were performed in a static position and not in an stretched position (maximal ABER) because it was not considered suitable: Handball athletes in maximal ABER-position have a high prevalence of unilateral pain or apprehension which may reduce standardized assessment and thus objective test results (Myklebust et al., 2013).
Scapular motion adaptations in junior overhead athletes: a three-dimensional kinematic analysis in tennis players and non-overhead athletes

Elif Turgut, Filiz Fatma Colakoglu, Gul Baltaci
A total of 20 asymptomatic, competitive junior tennis players and 20 age- and gender-matched healthy children without participation in overhead sports were included in the study, which took place in the university (Table 1). The inclusion criteria for participation were no limitation in active or passive shoulder range of motion, and no history of any shoulder surgery or injury. Participants who were multiple sport athletes or displayed any signs of impingement or instability based on clinical examination were excluded. All participants were examined by the senior physiotherapist (G.B.) with more than 20 years experience in the field and they had negative Neer (1983), Hawkins and Kennedy (1980), and apprehension-relocation tests (Tzannes, Paxinos, Callanan, & Murrell, 2004).
Evolution of muscular fatigue in periscapular and rotator cuff muscles during isokinetic shoulder rotations
Published in Journal of Sports Sciences, 2018
Sylvain Gaudet, Jonathan Tremblay, Fabien Dal Maso
Twenty-four individuals (11 males and 13 females, all right-handed, age: 22.8 ± 4.3 years; height: 174 ± 9.1 cm; mass: 69.4 ± 11 kg) volunteered to participate in this study. Participants were either physically active adults (n = 17) or competitive swimmers (n = 7). Physically active adults were engaged in various recreational physical activities at least two times per week for the past 3 years. Competitive swimmers were engaged in regular swimming training since at least 5 years and swam at least 7 times per week in addition to resistance training two times per week. All participants were free from shoulder pain or injury at the time of testing and had no history of shoulder surgery or arthroscopic intervention to either shoulder. The protocol was approved by the local ethics committee (14-068-CERES-D) and all participants read and signed a written informed consent form before the experimental procedure.
