A relation between the movement range of arms and arising moment has been studied to find out efficient movement range to minimize impact concerning arm landing in sports aerobics. Four male athletes who won top three in national-level sports aerobics competition were chosen for the experiment. They were allowed to jump in between two force platform so that the right hand and the right leg could land onto the front and rear force platform, respectively. The sampling frequency was 200 Hz. The main conclusions based on the analysis of the angle and joint moment parameters of wrist, elbow, and shoulder are as follows: 1. The wrist moment was small when its angle was small, indicating that the dorsi-flexion of the wrist joint offered a positive influence to reduce wrist moment. 2. The elbow angle increased as wrist angle decreased and vice versa. This means that the movement range of the wrist joint affects that of the elbow joint. The darsi-flexion of the wrist is the position to absorb the impact of the elbow effectively rather than to absorb the impact of the wrist itself. The impact is absorbed by the flexion of wrist joint rather than the wrist. 3. The degree of moment transfer of the shoulder joint, having absorbed the impact from the elbow and elbow joint, became dependent on the efficiency of the fore-joints impact absorption.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ipsilateral shoulder pain affects the sensorimotor function of the same side shoulder in patients with stroke. Methods: Thirty stroke patients, who were divided into the ipsilateral shoulder pain group (n=15) and the ipsilateral shoulder non-pain group (n=15). Subjects were evaluated on performance of a tracking task, joint reposition test and 9-Hole pegboard test for sensorimotor functions, and Fugl-Meyer test and Motricity Index for functional ability of the contralateral side. Results: In comparison of the two groups, significant differences in performance on functional ability, including the Fugl-Meyer test(both upper and lower limb) and Motricity Index(only lower limb) were observed (p<0.05). With regard to sensorimotor functions, the ipsilateral shoulder pain group were observed significantly poor scores on the Accuracy Index, joint reposition score and 9-Hole pegboard test, when compared with the ipsilateral shoulder non-pain group (p<0.05). Conclusion: We found that ipsilateral shoulder pain could impede accurate performance of a movement and result in deteriorated proprioception of the ipsilateral shoulder. Therefore, careful evaluation and appropriate therapeutic intervention are essential for stroke patients who suffer from ipsilateral shoulder pain.

Objective : This report is to introduce the clinical application of Whidam's Su-Gi therapy to shoulder pain. Methods : Whidam's Su-Gi therapy for shoulder pain first identifies for red flags in order to select a person to be treated in korean medicine. After performing shoulder joint mobility evaluation and Su-Gi treatment, determine the disadvantage, and determine the mobility evaluation and Su-Gi treatment route of the shoulder, the shoulder blade, and cervical vertebrae. The advantage and pain are evaluated by a manual exercise test. After performing Su-Gi therapy according to the evaluation at each stage, pain and dysfunction are reevaluated to check the negative and proceed to the next step. Conclusions : The clinical application of Whidam's Su-Gi therapy to shoulder pain was organized around the correlation between the shoulder joint, the shoulder, the shoulder blade, and cervical vertebrae, and a medical flow chart was constructed away from the listed description method.

Localized or radiating pain in the arm and shoulder joint may result after faulty alignment causing compression or tension on nerves, blood vessels, or supporting soft tissues. The critical site of faulty alignment is the quadrangular space in the axilla bounded by the teres major, teres minor, long head of triceps, and humerus. The axillary nerve emerges through this space to supply the deltoid and teres minor. The activity of the trigger point on teres minor compressing the axillary nerve causes pain to develop through the area of sensory distribution of cutaneous branch of the axillary nerve. Relieving compression on the axillary nerve and suprascapular nerve is the key point to relieving the pain. Spasm of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus compressing the suprascapular nerve caused pain to develop in the shoulder joint and scapular area. We treated those patients experiencing such pain with local anesthetic infiltration or I-R laser stimulation on the identified trigger points.

Typically, massive rotator cuff tears have stiff and retracted tendon with poor muscle quality, in such cases orthopaedic surgeons are confronted with big challenging to restore the cuff to its native footprint. Furthermore, even with some restoration of the footprint, it is related with a high re-tear rate due to less tension free repair and less tendon coverage. In this tough circumstance, the partial repair has yielded satisfactory outcomes at relatively short follow-up by re-creating the transverse force couple of the rotator cuff. Through this partial repair, the massive rotator cuff tear can be converted to the "functional rotator cuff tear" and provide improvement in pain and functional outcomes in patient's shoulder.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the joint torque of triple segmental system in golf driver swing. For this purpose, joint torque were calculated. In order to determine the load on the lumbar region, a triple segmental system was set for wrist, left shoulder and lumbar, torque working on the lumbar region were estimated. For this study, a total of 7 professional golfers were sampled, and then, their driver swings were recorded with two high-speed digital video cameras (180 frames/sec.) to be synthesized into 3-dimensional images and coordinated. Then, Eular's equation was used to produce some kinematic data, which were used to calculate joint torque with Newton's function. All data were calculated using LabVIEW 6.1 graphic program. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; It was found that the joint torque was generated in the direction opposite the target on wrist and shoulder during down swing, while in the direction towards the target on the lumbar region. During impact and release, the torque on the wrist joint was converted from the direction opposite the target to the direction towards the target, while the torque on the lumbar region was generated vice versa. The joints on the club-arm-shoulder were generated in the opposite direction at the beginning of down swing when the torque on the thorax-pelvis began to be generated, and then, the torque on the thorax-pelvis began to lower, while that on the club-arm-shoulder began to increase. Thus, a rapid decrease of the torque on the lumbar region linked to the low trunk acted to increase moment and joint torque on the arm-club region.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to observe effectiveness of ultrasound-guided Soyeom pharmacopuncture therapy at acromioclavicular joint of shoulder in patients with anterior shoulder pain. Methods We analyzed medical records of 9 patients hospitalized with anterior shoulder pain who had admitted to Department of Korean Rehabilitation Medicine, College of Korean Medicine, Daejeon University from March 1, 2021 to June 13, 2021. 9 patients were treated the treatment of Soyeom pharmacopuncture therapy on acromioclavicular joint under ultrasonic guidance with Korean medicine treatment (such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxabustion, etc). The study was conducted as a retrospective observation study which analyze the patient's medical records. We used numeric rating scale (NRS) to evaluate pain reduction and the shoulder range of motion (ROM) to evaluate function improvement twice (before pharmacopuncture treatment and 5 days later treatment). Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 program (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). Results The average of numeric rating scale reduced statistically significantly from 5.56±1.13 to 3.11±1.36 (p=0.004). The average of shoulder flexion ROM increased statistically significantly from 166.67±8.17° to 175.00±8.37° (p<0.05). And the average of shoulder abduction ROM increased statistically significantly from 158.57±20.35° to 172.86±12.53° (p<0.05). Both NRS and shouler ROM showed statistically significantly improve after treatment. Conclusions This study shows ultrasound-guided Soyeom pharmacopuncture therapy at acromioclavicular joint of shoulder has a meaningful clinical effect on the improving shoulder pain and ROM especially on flexion and abduction.
