Summary: This study compared the effects of an exercise protocol with and without electromyographic biofeedback on pain, function, and movement in subjects with Subacromial Pain Syndrome. The results showed that adding biofeedback increased scapular upward rotation, but patients who only did exercises had a better response in reducing pain.

Summary: This study evaluated the measurement properties of the DASH in individuals with SPS using the Rasch model, finding that adjustments to some items are necessary for these patients. Clinicians should interpret the DASH results cautiously, especially for patients with shoulder pain above 120 degrees of arm elevation.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effects of scapular mobilization in people with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Participants were divided into two groups: one group participated in a 6-week exercise program, and the other group received the same exercise program plus passive manual scapular mobilization. The results showed that the addition of scapular mobilization did not provide significant clinical benefits in terms of function, pain, or scapular motion in participants with SIS in the short term.

Summary: The study found that combining Kinesio tape with therapeutic exercise is more effective for patients with shoulder impingement syndrome compared to therapeutic exercise alone or no intervention. Therapeutic exercise alone showed positive effects in all significant outcomes.

Summary: Hip fractures are a major health concern, especially for older adults, with negative impacts on quality of life, mobility, and mortality. This study aims to investigate the short-term benefits of a supervised preoperative aerobic moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) program and the added effect of an 8-week postoperative MIIT aerobic exercise program. The study also aims to explore the amelioration of surgical outcomes and hemostatic balance through exercise.

Summary: This study compared the effects of group-based exercise, individual exercise, and home exercise on patients with subacromial pain. The results showed that there were no significant differences in health benefits among the three regimens, but the home exercise intervention was associated with the lowest costs.

Summary: After cast removal for nonoperatively treated distal radius fractures, providing advice leaflet or advice video for rehabilitation shows similar patient-reported outcomes compared to face-to-face therapy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the clinical benefits of dextrose prolotherapy for patients with shoulder pain and bursitis, suggesting insufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of this treatment. Significant time effects were observed for the main symptoms and functional impacts of the patients, but group effects were not significant, except for some changes in tissue elasticity that require further research.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of manual therapy in combination with a therapeutic exercise program for non-specific shoulder pain. The results showed that both manual therapy and sham therapy led to similar improvements in pain and shoulder range of motion.

Summary: This study compared the effects of neuromuscular exercise (NME) and strengthening exercises on pain and active range of motion (AROM) in individuals with idiopathic frozen shoulder (FS). The results showed that NME was superior to strengthening exercises in relieving pain and increasing AROM in shoulder flexion, internal rotation, and external rotation. This suggests that NME could be used as a treatment option for individuals with FS.

Summary: The rehabilitation protocols after rotator cuff repair have different advantages. Early rehabilitation can improve range of motion in the short term, while long-term functional recovery is similar to the traditional protocol. The risk of retear remains a concern for early rehabilitation. Choosing the appropriate rehabilitation protocol based on individual needs can lead to better shoulder function recovery.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of combining extracorporeal shock wave therapy or local corticosteroid injections with conventional physical therapy (CPT) for patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Sixty patients were allocated to three groups and assessed for subacromial space, shoulder pain and disability index, and shoulder range of motion. The results showed that the addition of extracorporeal shock wave therapy to CPT had more noticeable intermediate-term effects compared to CPT plus local corticosteroid injection or CPT alone.

Summary: The study showed that supervised training had significant improvements on pain, function, and patient-perceived effect in adults with subacromial pain syndrome. It also indicated potential benefits of supervised training in terms of quality of life and return to work, although more patients reported mild, transient pain after training.

Summary: The study suggests that spinal manipulation combined with physiotherapy can improve outcomes for patients with subacute or chronic lumbar radiculopathy over a 3-month period. The manipulation group showed more favorable results in Oswestry scores and straight leg raise test. All ranges of motion significantly increased with manipulation.

Summary: With the increasing rate of disabled people worldwide, the need for physiotherapy is growing. Telerehabilitation systems utilizing advanced technologies offer advantages over traditional methods, improving communication between patients and physiotherapists and facilitating data sharing. A Kinect-based system has shown promising results in shoulder damaged patients, offering a potential alternative for telerehabilitation.
