Background/aim Shoulder pain is a major musculoskeletal problem. We aimed to identify which baseline patient and clinical characteristics are associated with better outcome, 6 weeks months after starting course of physiotherapy for shoulder pain. Methods 1030 patients aged ≥18 years referred the management were recruited provided data. 840 (82%) outcome data at 811 (79%) months. 71 putative prognostic factors collected baseline. Outcomes Pain Disability Index (SPADI) Quick Arm, Hand...
We performed two independent, randomised, controlled trials in order to assess the potential benefits of immediate weight-bearing mobilisation after rupture tendo Achillis. The first trial, on operatively-treated patients showed an improved functional outcome for mobilised fully surgical repair. Two cases re-rupture treatment group suggested that careful patient selection is required as need follow a structured rehabilitation regimen. second conservatively-treated patients, provided no...
Objectives To (i) identify predictors of outcome for the physiotherapy management shoulder pain and (ii) enable clinicians to subgroup people into risk groups persistent disability. Methods 1030 aged ≥18 years, referred musculoskeletal were recruited. 810 provided data at 6 months 4 outcomes: Shoulder Pain Disability Index (SPADI) (total score, subscale, disability subscale) Quick Arm, Hand (QuickDASH). 34 potential prognostic factors used in this analysis. Results Four classification trees...
Abstract Objective There is no established consensus for screening the spine in patients with shoulder pain. The aim of this study was to explore role pain and generate a set recommendations assessing potential involvement Methods A modified Delphi conducted through use an international physical therapist’s expert panel. Three domains (clinical reasoning, history, examination) were evaluated using Likert scale, defined as Aiken Validity Index ≥0.7. Results Twenty-two therapists participated....
Clinical management of musculoskeletal shoulder pain can be challenging due to diagnostic uncertainty, variable prognosis and limited evidence for long-term treatment benefits. The UK-based PANDA-S programme (Prognostic And Diagnostic Assessment the Shoulder) is investigating short outcomes. This paper reports linked qualitative research exploring patients' clinicians' views towards primary care consultations pain.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 patients 15 clinicians....
To determine whether higher level or improvements over time in pain self-efficacy (PSE) and expectations of intervention effectiveness lead to better outcomes the used manage rotator cuff related shoulder (RCRSP) impacts PSE time.
Study Design Prospective multicenter longitudinal cohort study. Background A key component of assessing clinical effectiveness is to compare instruments measuring similar outcomes and select one that sufficiently responsive. Despite their widespread use in reporting outcomes, the responsiveness Shoulder Pain Disability Index (SPADI) shortened version Disabilities Arm, Hand questionnaire (QuickDASH) has not been compared reported within same population. Objective To SPADI QuickDASH a single...
Introduction Musculoskeletal shoulder pain is a common reason for people to be treated in physiotherapy services, but diagnosis can difficult and often does not guide treatment or predict outcome. People with cite need clear information, timely, tailored consultations their pain. This trial will evaluate the introduction of personalised guided consultation help physiotherapists manage care individuals Methods analysis cluster randomised controlled clinical cost-effectiveness introducing...
There has been an emergence of evidence in the area frozen shoulder (FS) within past decade related to risk factors, etiology, diagnosis, and management. It become increasingly challenging for clinicians researchers stay up date these areas, particularly with clinical practice guidelines that are available being few outdated. To this end, aim study was produce international consensus on diagnosis management individuals FS. During phase one a steering committee formed order identify experts...
Frozen shoulder is a disabling condition characterised by severe pain and loss of movement. Corticosteroid injections are targeted at reducing in the earlier painful phase. There multiple studies on effectiveness for frozen shoulder, but none were identified to assess if this guidance has been translated into clinical practice. The aim survey was investigate current practice opinion musculoskeletal health professionals regarding corticosteroid shoulder. online disseminated via social media...
