Abstract |
Objective The purposes of this study were to investigate the findings of various diagnostic tools for shoulder pain in hemiplegic patients and to compare the results of each diagnostic tool. Method Sixty shoulders in hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain were evaluated by physical examination, visual analogue scale, plain X-ray, arthrogram, ultrasonography and 3-phasic bone scan.
Results The subluxation of shoulder on X-ray was found in 45 patients. The abnormal findings of arthrogram were 39 patients and the most common finding was adhesive capsulitis. The abnormal findings of ultrasonography were 45 patients and the most common finding was supraspinatus tendinitis. In cases of shoulder subluxation on X-ray, many cases were associated with supraspinatus tendinitis on ultrasonography and with adhesive capsulitis on arthrogram. In comparison with the arthrogram and ultrasonography, partial and complete rotator cuff tear findings show consistency. And patients with adhesive capsulitis on arthrogram show significantly high incidence of biceps tendinitis finding on ultrasonography.
Conclusion In hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain, the ultrasonography is more valuable and useful as an invasive diagnositc method for the evaluation of rotator cuff tendinitis especially when there is subluxation in X-ray and adhesive capsulitis in physical examination.
