“…Various musculoskeletal disorders and injury were implicated as the possible causes of shoulder pain among the patients. Furthermore, difficulties has also been reported in arriving at specific diagnosis of shoulder conditions in patients since they often present similarly with regards to pattern of impairments with pain as the major symptom in many cases of shoulder dysfunctions [28,40,41]. In the present study no specific ICD coding was employed in diagnosis or in the categorization of the patients SP.…”

“…Osteoarthritis (OA) of the gleno-humeral joint is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, which is more common in women and appears to increase with age [6] Findings from other studies also identified tendinitis, bursitis and impingement syndrome, as the most frequent group of diagnoses for both women and men [4,15,27]. Adhesive capsulitis is another common cause of shoulder pain while septic and avascular necrosis are least common [24], while disorders of the cervical spine are also implicated as causes of shoulder pain [28] It is recognized that there are no universal criteria for differential diagnoses of various chronic pain syndrome affecting the shoulder joint complex or even consensus on their treatment [7,24,29]. The management of shoulder pain thus poses a big challenge to the entire medical team and physiotherapy inclusive [29,30].…”

Background: : Shoulder pain is a common reason for patients to seek medical help in any healthcare center. Shoulder pain is influenced by a few factors such as gender, posture during daily activities, aging and psychological factors. Based on the study of Epidemiology of Injuries and Prevention Strategies in Competitive Swimmers, shoulder pain due to shoulder injuries can be reduced by strengthening the shoulder muscle. Badminton has become one of the most popular sports in Asia, especially in Indonesia. This study was conducted to determine if badminton is able to strengthen the shoulder muscle group. Methods: A cross-sectional analytic experimental study was conducted on September 2015 at Lodaya Badminton Training Center and Bale Padjadjaran of Universitas Padjadjaran. Subjects were 30 healthy male routinely trained badminton players and 30 non-badminton players who voluntarily follow the rstudy procedures. Strength measurement procedures were provided to the subjects after getting informed consent. Data analysis was performed using T-test. Results: The shoulder strength in routinely trained badminton players was significantly different from non-badminton players (P<0.05). Conclusions: Shoulder strength can be improved through routine training of badminton to reduce risk of shoulder injury. ]

Background: The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between the amount of pain reduction after local anesthetic injection into the subacromial space preoperatively and clinical outcome after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: A total of 127 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and followed up at least 1 year were analyzed retrospectively. Preoperatively, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain was measured in all patients before and after the ultrasound guided impingement test. The participants were divied into four groups according to pain reduntion ater impingement test (Group A: >75%, Group B: 50%-75%, Group C: 25%-50%, Group D: <25%). VAS for pain, shoulder range of motion, shoulder isometric strength, ASES score were evaluated preoperatively and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. Results: After surgery, the amount of pain reduction shows significantly at 3, 6 months in Groups A, B as compared to Groups C, D (p<0.05). Among the range of motion of shoulder joint, forward flexion was significantly improved in Group A at 3 months (p<0.05). The ASES score significantly improved at 3, 6 months in Groups A, B as compared to Group C, D (p<0.05). Conclusions: Preoperative degree of pain reduction after impingement test correlates with the improvement of pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, especially in the early phase. Therefore, the impingement test could be effectively used. (Clin Shoulder Elbow 2017;20(3):126-132)
