研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of rotator cuff tears in the shoulders of hemiplegic patients of different severity.
详细描述
Rotator cuff tears are often suspected to contribute hemiplegic shoulder pain. However, it is controversial whether their incidence increases in hemiplegia. Based on the postulate that muscle weakness in hemiplegia predisposes rotator cuff injury due to biomechanical failure, this study aims to investigate whether the rotator cuff tears are associated with the muscle strength of the shoulder by observing hemiplegic shoulders of varying degree of paresis.

结局指标
主要结局
Rotator Cuff Tear of the Hemiplegic Shoulder, Confirmed by Ultrasonography
时间窗: within one month after enrollment
All patients underwent ultrasonography (USG) for the both, affected and unaffected, shoulders. USG routinely examined biceps, subscapularis, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus tendons as for the partial or complete tears, calcifications, bony irregularity and bursal swellings.
次要结局
- Rotator Cuff Tear of the Unaffected Shoulder, Confirmed by Ultrasonography(within one month after enrollment)
- Subluxation of the Glenohumeral Joint, Confirmed by Physical Examination(within one month after enrollment)
- Muscle Strength, Measured by Physical Examination, Per Medical Research Council Muscle Strength Grading System(within one month after enrollment)
