Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between shoulder pain and hand edema in stroke patient with shoulder hand syndrome. In this study, 26 hemiplegic patients with the clinical symptom and sign of shoulder hand syndrome were evaluated. Hand volume was measured by hand volumeter, and hand edema was calculated by volume difference of both hands. Shoulder pain was evaluated using VAS (visual analog scale). and spasticity of shoulder was graded by modified Ashworth scale. The relationship among three factors such as shoulder pain. hand edema and shoulder spasticity was evaluated using correlation analysis. Results through correlation analysis among three factors are as follows : 1. Correlation between shoulder pain and hand edema was not significant$(\gamma=-.028)$. 2. Correlation between shoulder spasticity and hand edema was not significant $(\gamma=-.027)$. 3. Correlation between shoulder spasticity and shoulder pain was not significant $(\gamma=-.093)$. As the result of correlation analysis. this study shows that there was no statistically significant difference between shoulder pain and hand edema.
