NCT03045432 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 104

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several factors associated with the hemiplegic shoulder pain after stroke includes rotator cuff injury, bicipital tendonitis, impingement, spasticity, limited external rotation of shoulder joint, adhesive capsulitis, shoulder subluxation, shoulder hand syndrome, and brachial/axillary neuropathy. In this study, the investigators aim to usie high frequency ultrasound to evaluate the relationship between stroke patients with poor shoulder motor function and shoulder tendon injury. Also, assumed that performing passive range of motion and positioning training might prevent tendon injury of shoulder and hemiplegic shoulder pain in either acute or chronic stage of stroke.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Pain
  • Hemiplegia
  • Stroke
  • Rotator Cuff Injury

Interventions

OTHER

video-teaching

By watching a video specially designed by a rehabilitation team, the participants may learn how to position their affected arm properly (30 minutes per time, twice a day for five days in a week), how to transfer safely with the help from the caregivers, how to execute appropriate passive range of motion exercises regularly (15 minutes per time, twice a day for five days in a week), and be taught to be aware of not doing insecure pulley exercises nor carrying stuffs which are too heavy.

OTHER

oral-teaching

The nurses will teach patients how to position their affected arm properly, how to transfer safely with the help from the caregivers, how to execute appropriate passive range of motion exercises regularly, and be taught to be aware of not doing insecure pulley exercises nor carrying stuffs which are too heavy on the admission date of hospitalization.

OTHER

regular rehabilitation program

Regular occupational therapy program and regular physical therapy program in the rehabilitation department of the hospital.
