Summary

High intensity laser therapy (HILT) has been considered as a treatment option for shoulder pain. To our knowledge, the effectiveness of HILT in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) with partial thickness rotator cuff tear (PTRCT) is unknown. In this study, we intended to investigate the effectiveness of HILT on pain, disability, function and quality of life in patients with HSP accompanied by PTRCT.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegia

DEVICE

High intensity laser therapy

A prospective, randomized, controlled study was undertaken. A total of 44 patients who met inclusion criteria were randomly divided into two groups. HILT group (n=22) received 3 sessions of HILT per week for 3 weeks in addition to the multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation and exercise program which performed 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks. Control group (n=22) received a multidisciplinary stroke rehabilitation and exercise program for HSP of 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks.
