This article reviews the role of the low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with magnetic field strengths of 0.4 Tesla in the evaluation of the main pathologic conditions of the shoulder joint commonly encountered in clinical practice. Shoulder pain is a common clinical complaint that may be caused by abnormalities of the rotator cuff tendon, labrum and a variety of other pathological conditions. The differential diagnosis is extensive and includes tendinosis and rotator cuff pathology, instability, labral lesions, biceps disorders, radiculopathy, and thoracic outlet syndrome. In older patients, arthritis may even be a factor. The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic confidence of an open low field MRI in patients with shoulder joint pain. Our data was obtained from 40 patients: 24 Male (60%) and 16-Female (40%). Their ages ranged between 17 and 70 years. All patients were investigated by conventional X-rays and MRI in the medical diagnostic center of Aden Resonance in Al-Mansoura district in Aden city. MRI was performed at an open 0. 4 Tesla MR-unit (Hitachi - Japan-Aperto Lucent). The study protocol comprised axial, sagittal & coronal STIR-T2 and T1 weighted images of 3-4 mm thickness. 55 patients (52.4%) were investigated by high field MRI 1. 5 T (Neusoft) as a reference method.

“…As such, this special test would not be appropriate for patients with severe restrictions or pain in these motions. Additionally, we chose to compare the IRO/shift test to the Jobe test because the Jobe test is predominantly considered to be the gold standard for clinical examinations of superior rotator cuff pathology; however, there are numerous other special tests that should be considered during evaluation, such as Hawkin's sign, full can test, and drop arm test, to name but a few [7][8][9]. Future investigations are necessary to compare the clinical usefulness of the IRO/shift test with these other exams.…”

“…There has been a plethora of studies investigating the efficiency of different clinical tests for rotator cuff pathology. Common highly favorable tests for supraspinatus lesions include the drop arm test, full can test, and Hawkin's sign, just to name a few [7][8][9]. Although special tests such as the drop arm test have been shown to have good specificity (87-99%) and variable sensitivity (6-71%) [9,10], the Jobe's test commonly outperforms the others with more consistent specificity (62-75%) and sensitivity (72-88%) [7,9,11] and is considered the gold standard of clinical testing [7,9].…”

To determine how the internal rotation and shift (IRO/shift) test compares to the gold standard of clinical tests (Jobe test) for diagnosing supraspinatus lesions and to confirm these clinical results with surgical findings, 100 symptomatic patients were clinically examined between October 2018 and November 2019. All 100 patients were evaluated using both the IRO/shift test and Jobe test. A total of 48 of these patients received surgical intervention. Based on these data, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy for both the IRO/shift test and Jobe test were calculated. The IRO/shift test had a sensitivity of 96% (95% CI: 82–100%), specificity of 50% (95% CI: 27–73%), PPV of 73% (95% CI: 56–86%), NPV of 91% (95% CI: 59–100%), and an accuracy of 77% (95% CI: 63–88%). The Jobe test had a sensitivity of 89% (95% CI: 72–98%), specificity of 60% (95% CI: 36–81%), PPV of 76% (95% CI: 58–89%), NPV of 80% (95% CI: 52–96%), and an accuracy of 77% (95% CI: 54–81%). These results suggest that the IRO/shift test is comparable to the Jobe test, which is often viewed as the gold standard clinical examination for assessing supraspinatus lesions. This study was approved by the Ethics Commission of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (reference number: 2018-05).

Preventive Assessments and Training for Shoulder Joint Injury

Shoulder joint injury often affects athletes' performance, training, and daily life, and it costs more money and time to treat, so it is very important to prevent shoulder joint injury. This paper mainly provides assessment and training ideas for preventing shoulder injury to make athletes achieve better results and reduce injuries. Many shoulder joint examinations such as Jobe, Neer, the Hawkins Kennedy, the pain arc, and the Allen tests can simultaneously be used for preventive evaluation. At present, there are few preventive assessments. This paper gives some ideas from the assessment's breadth, content, timing, and modernization perspective. Preventive assessment is mainly to screen out risk factors for high-risk people who do not suffer from shoulder joint disease or those who recover from shoulder joint injury to provide better plans for follow-up daily life and training and improve the quality of life and sports. Preventive evaluation provides a good reference for preventive training. The main purpose of preventive training is to prevent potential upward risks and improve athletes' sports levels. Functional training is mainly aimed at strengthening the weak chain so that the muscle group can reach a more stable and balanced state, so better cooperation with the completing Fascia is easily ignored in ordinary training. Fascia training can better play the function of muscles, increase the proprioception of muscles, and improve the quality of action completion.
