简要总结
Determine if adding "extra-gravity" (sustained increase in vertical loading) during standard rehabilitation exercises has a beneficial effect on pain reduction in subjects suffering from shoulder pain of different origin.
详细描述
Standard rehabilitation protocols will be used with every subject, depending on the cause of their shoulder pain. The treating clinician will determine the appropriate therapy protocol for each subject.
During the treatment sessions, subjects will wear a very comfortable waist belt attached with rubber band to anchor points on the ground (the rubber bands will be tighten to simulate the extra-gravity).
Upon enrollment, the treating clinician will randomly assign the subject to one of four groups depending on the type of loading and exercise typology.
The hyper-gravity will be simulated as an additional 50% of subject's body weight.
The frequency and duration of each therapy session will be determined by the treating clinician (usually 45 minutes of therapy twice a week for 4 weeks).

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in pain level
时间窗: three months
The patient will grade the pain level using a numeric pain scale (0 no pain; 10 unbearable pain requiring pain medication). Changes will be assessed between baseline (before therapy sessions) and three month post therapy. It will be used to investigate if there is any statistical difference between the different therapies.
次要结局
- Changes in Stability Score(three months)
- Changes in shoulder range of motion(three months)
- Changes in Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Outcome Measure(three months)
- Test of Sustained Selective Attention (TOSSA)(three months)
