Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is common after stroke. The pain perception may exacerbate changes in the motor behavior of the ipsi-lesional upper limb, contributing to the functional decline of an individual's motor performance. OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the influence of pain perception on the aiming movements performed with the ipsilesional upper limb in individuals with unilateral chronic stroke. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 41 participants divided into three groups: 1) stroke with contralesional shoulder pain ≥ 3 by the Visual Numerical Pain Scale (SPSG; n = 13); 2) stroke no shoulder pain (nSPSG; n = 14); and 3) healthy control (CTG; n = 14) matched by sex and age. Individuals with stroke were matched for the severity of sensorimotor impairment by the Fugl-Meyer upper limb subscale and the injured hemisphere side. Stroke groups performed aiming movements with the ipsilesional upper limb and the CTG with the corresponding limb using a pen tip on the sensitive surface of a digitizing tablet. Performance across groups was compared by one-way analysis of variance, considering the time since injury as a covariate. The planning and execution variables of the movement trajectory were analyzed, and the significance was set at 5%. RESULTS Trajectories of the SPSG were slower (p = .010; η2 = 0.22), were less smooth (p = .002; η2 = 0.30), had more directional error (p = .002; η2 = 0.28), and were less accurate (p = .034; η2 = 0.17) than the CTG. The nSPSG and CTG showed similar performance. CONCLUSIONS The perception of pain impairs aiming movements performed with the ipsilesional upper limb in individuals with unilateral chronic stroke.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the experience of working age adults living with chronic post-stroke pain in the United Kingdom (UK). METHODS Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight working age (46-64 years) UK-based stroke survivors who experience chronic post-stroke pain (≥3 months). The interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. RESULTS The analysis led to three Group Experiential Themes: "The Solitude of the Pain Experience," "Unsatisfactory Healthcare and the Need for Self-Care" and "The Development of Pain Acceptance." Findings suggest that individuals see their post-stroke pain as an invisible disability, which is overlooked and misunderstood by others. Furthermore, in the absence of a differential post-stroke pain diagnosis, clear, accurate information and alternatives to pharmacological treatments, individuals with post-stroke pain invest their own resources in finding answers and a way to live with the pain. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest the need for further education on post-stroke pain for healthcare professionals, the consideration of pain in post-stroke assessments, the need for clear differential pain diagnoses and the provision of accurate information to patients. Research is needed to establish non-pharmacological evidence-based treatment approaches, such as pain management programmes, peer support and psychological interventions.

BMC Palliat Care 2023; 22:106. [PMID: 37507696 PMCID: PMC10375733 DOI: 10.1186/s12904-023-01216-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is a prevalent neurological disease that can have a profound impact on women's physical, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being. In many cases, women living with stroke may have marginalized palliative care needs that are often not adequately addressed by healthcare providers. Unfortunately, the experience of women with stroke and their specific palliative care needs have been largely overlooked in research conducted in Jordan. AIM The purpose of this study is to examine the specific palliative care needs of women who have experienced a stroke and are currently living in Jordan. By conducting this research, we aim to identify the various physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of women with stroke and gain a better understanding of how these needs can be addressed through palliative care interventions. METHODS This research utilized a phenomenological descriptive study approach to explore the experiences of twelve women recruited from the outpatient clinic of rehabilitation centers. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The analysis was conducted using the method of Colaizzi (1978), which involves identifying significant statements, extracting meanings, and formulating an exhaustive description of the phenomenon under study. RESULTS The study findings uncovered three primary themes that reflect the palliative care needs of women who are currently living with stroke in Jordan, including (1) Spiritual practices, beliefs, and needs; (2) Coping with distressing symptoms; and (3) Managing the delivery of unfavorable news. DISCUSSION This study provides valuable insights into the experiences of Jordanian women living with stroke, highlighting the far-reaching consequences of this condition on various aspects of their lives. The findings reveal that stroke has a significant impact on women's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, with many facing unmet palliative care needs. By illuminating these challenges, our study underscores the importance of taking a holistic approach to stroke care that addresses the multifaceted needs of women living with stroke. Healthcare providers must consider these findings and integrate palliative care interventions into treatment plans to improve the quality of life of women living with stroke in Jordan. CONCLUSION This study provides valuable insights into the palliative care needs of women who have experienced a stroke. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing women's physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs as part of a comprehensive approach to stroke care. We recommend integrating palliative care interventions into rehabilitation programs to improve the quality of life of women living with stroke in Jordan. By doing so, we can address the pain and complications that can arise from stroke, while also providing holistic support to address the emotional and spiritual impact of the illness. This approach has the potential to improve outcomes for women living with stroke and enhance their overall well-being.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stroke symptoms fluctuate during the day as stroke survivors participate in daily activities. Understanding the real-time associations among stroke symptoms and depressed mood, as well as the role of motivation for daily activities, informs, and post-stroke symptom management in the context of everyday living. This study aimed to (1) investigate the real-time associations of fatigue, cognitive complaints, and pain with depressed mood and (2) examine the role of motivation for daily activity participation as a potential moderator of these associations in stroke survivors. DESIGN A prospective cohort study involving 7 days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA), during which participants completed 8 EMA surveys per day. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze data. SETTING Community. PARTICIPANTS Forty community-dwelling stroke survivors (N=40). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES EMA measures of depressed mood, stroke symptoms (physical and mental fatigue, cognitive complaints, and pain), and motivation (autonomous motivation, controlled motivation). RESULTS Higher levels of within- and between-person physical fatigue, mental fatigue, cognitive complaints, and pain were momentarily associated with greater depressed mood (Ps<.001). Within-person autonomous motivation significantly buffered the momentary associations of physical fatigue (B=-0.06, P<.001), mental fatigue (B=-0.04, P=.032), and pain (B=-0.21, P<.001) with depressed mood. CONCLUSIONS Findings indicate the momentary associations of fatigue, cognitive complaints, and pain with depressed mood in stroke survivors. Autonomous motivation underpinning daily activity participation was found to buffer the associations of fatigue and pain with depressed mood. Promoting autonomous motivation for daily activity participation may be viable for preventing and mitigating poststroke depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Individuals with stroke often experience significant impairment of the upper limb. Rehabilitation interventions targeting the upper limb are typically associated with only small to moderate gains. The knowledge that body schema can be altered in other upper limb conditions has contributed to the development of tailored rehabilitation approaches. This study investigated whether individuals with stroke experienced alterations in body schema of the upper limb. If so, this knowledge may have implications for rehabilitation approaches such as motor imagery. METHODS An observational study performed online consisting of left/right judgment tasks assessed by response time and accuracy of: (i) left/right direction recognition; (ii) left/right shoulder laterality recognition; (iii) left/right hand laterality recognition; (iv) mental rotation of nonembodied objects. Comparisons were made between individuals with and without stroke. Secondary comparisons were made in the stroke population according to side of stroke and side of pain if experienced. RESULTS A total of 895 individuals (445 with stroke) participated. Individuals with stroke took longer for all tasks compared to those without stroke, and were less accurate in correctly identifying the laterality of shoulder (P < 0.001) and hand (P < 0.001) images, and the orientation of nonembodied objects (P < 0.001). Moreover, the differences observed in the hand and shoulder tasks were greater than what was observed for the control tasks of directional recognition and nonembodied mental rotation. No significant differences were found between left/right judgments of individuals with stroke according to stroke-affected side or side of pain. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Left/right judgments of upper limb are frequently impaired after stroke, providing evidence of alterations in body schema. The knowledge that body schemas are altered in individuals with longstanding stroke may assist in the development of optimal, well-accepted motor imagery programs for the upper limb.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A394).

Abstract
Introduction Hemiparesis is the main sensorimotor deficit after stroke. It can result in limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and social participation. Hemiparesis can be treated with behavioral techniques of intensive use of the affected arm, such as constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), however, it remains unclear whether motor improvement can lead to increases in the domains of activity and participation. Objective Identify whether CIMT is superior to usual techniques to enhance activity and participation outcomes in stroke survivors. Methods A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted, based on the PRISMA guidelines. Search databases were: PubMed, LILACS, Embase, SciELO, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Medline, and Web of Science, with no language restriction. Meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager (version 5.3), significance level p ≤ 0.05. Results A total of 21 articles were included for analysis. Superior effects were observed on motor function and performance in activities of daily living of individuals treated with CIMT. The outcomes measures utilized were: Fugl-Meyer Assessment (p = 0.00001); Wolf motor function test (p = 0.01); Modified Barthel Index (p = 0.00001); Motor Activity log (MAL) Amount of use (AOU) (p = 0.01); MAL Quality of movement (QOM) (p = 0.00001); Action Research Arm Test-ARAT (p = 0.00001); and FIM (p = 0.0007). Conclusion Our results show that CIMT results in more significant gains in the functional use of the upper limb in ADL and functional independence, demonstrating superior activity and participation results in stroke survivors when compared to conventional therapies.

Higher rates of mortality and perioperative complications in patients undergoing primary shoulder arthroplasty and a history of previous stroke. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2022; 32:e216-e226. [PMID: 36375747 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs), or strokes, are the second most common cause of mortality and third most common cause of disability worldwide. Although advances in the treatment of strokes have improved survivorship following these events, there remains a limited understanding of the effect of a prior stroke and sequelae on patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty (SA). This study aimed to determine the outcomes of patients with a history of stroke with sequela undergoing primary SA. METHODS Over a 30-year time period (1990-2020), 205 primary SAs (32 hemiarthroplasties [HAs], 56 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasties [aTSAs], and 117 reverse shoulder arthroplasties [RSAs]) were performed in patients who sustained a previous stroke with sequela and were followed for a minimum of 2 years. This cohort was matched (1:2) according to age, sex, body mass index, implant, and year of surgery with patients who had undergone HA or aTSA for osteoarthritis or RSA for cuff tear arthropathy. Mortality after primary SA was individually calculated through a cumulative incidence analysis. Implant survivorship was analyzed with a competing risk model selecting death as the competing risk. RESULTS The stroke cohort sustained 38 (18.5%) surgical and 42 (20.5%) medical perioperative complications. Compared with the control group, the stroke cohort demonstrated higher rates of any surgical complication (18.5% vs 10.7%; P = .007), instability (6.3 % vs 1.7%; P = .002), venous thromboembolism (3.4% vs 0.5%; P = .004), pulmonary embolus (2.0% vs 0%; P = .005), postoperative stroke (2.4% vs 0%; P = .004), respiratory failure (1.0% vs 0%; P = .045), any medical complication (20.5% vs 7.3%; P < .001), and 90-day readmission (16.6% vs 4.9%; P < .001). Additionally, RSA in the stroke cohort was associated with higher reoperation (8.5% vs 2.6%; P = .011) and revision rates (6.8% vs 1.7%; P = .013) compared with the matched cohort. Subsequent cumulative incidences of death at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years were 4.4% vs 3.4%, 10.7% vs 5.1%, 25.6% vs 14.7%, 51.6% vs 39.3%, 74.3% vs 58.6%, and 92.6% vs 58.6% between the stroke and matched cohorts, respectively (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS A preoperative diagnosis of a stroke in patients undergoing primary SA is associated with higher rates of perioperative complications and mortality when compared to a matched cohort. This information should be considered to counsel patients and surgeons to optimize care and help mitigate risks associated with the perioperative period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if positioning the upper-limb promoting abduction, external rotation and flexion of the shoulder reduces the intensity of post-stroke shoulder pain at day-7 compared to usual clinical practice. DESIGN & SETTING Prospective single-center randomized clinical trial using a superiority design comparing two preventive strategies of post-stroke shoulder pain in a stroke unit. SUBJECTS Patients were included within 2 days from a first symptomatic ischemic stroke affecting shoulder motor function. INTERVENTIONS Intervention group included specific positioning of the shoulder in abduction, external rotation and flexion in bed, chair and during mobilization. Control group referred to usual practice i.e. positioning using a standard support scarf. MAIN MEASURES Primary outcome was the intensity of shoulder pain assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS) (0-100) at day-7 post-stroke. Other outcomes measured at day-7 and 2 months post-stroke were the VAS, motor function, spasticity, depression, functional independence and rates of complex regional Pain syndrome (CRPS). RESULTS 76 patients (49 males; mean age = 68.3) were randomized. The shoulder pain at day-7 was not different between the control group (16.1, SD = 27.4) and the intervention group (10.3, SD = 21.5, p = 0.18) as well as at 2 months (p = 0.12). A lower rate of depression was observed in the intervention group at 2 months 36.7% (CI95% 19.9;56.1) vs 52.9% (CI95% 35.1;70.2). No between-group difference in other outcomes was observed at 2 months. CONCLUSIONS This study failed to demonstrate the benefit of a specific positioning tool in reducing the intensity of post-stroke shoulder pain which was lower than previously reported in the literature.

Abstract
Objectives: Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to facilitate rehabilitation
at hospitals by distracting patients’ attention from pain and by providing a virtual
environment favorable for motivating the patients to continue rehabilitation. However, the
application of VR in a home-visit rehabilitation remains to be validated. Here, we report
a case in which home-visit rehabilitation using immersive VR was effective for post-stroke
hemiplegic shoulder pain. Case presentation: After treatment, at a general hospital, for the
hypertensive hemorrhage in the right brain capsule that resulted in the residual attention
deficit disorder and left hemiplegia, a 63-year-old woman was cared for with a home-visit
rehabilitation in a rural area. The patient had persistent pain in her left shoulder,
which increased during activities of daily living and during rehabilitation, and the pain
precluded rehabilitation. A VR relaxation program was delivered to the patient to
alleviate pain during rehabilitation. Her shoulder pain was successfully alleviated using
VR during training for muscle stretching and passive joint mobilization. Conclusion: The application of VR to home rehabilitation in rural areas may
augment the effectiveness of home rehabilitation by alleviating pain during the procedure
and sustaining the motivation for home rehabilitation.

Protocols Used by Occupational Therapists on Shoulder Pain after Stroke: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Occup Ther Int 2021; 2021:8811721. [PMID: 34025305 PMCID: PMC8110407 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8811721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Shoulder pain as a consequence after a stroke has multifactorial causes and can prevent the functional return of the upper limb. In addition, the effectiveness of clinical protocols applied by occupational therapists remains uncertain. Objective To identify the main treatments currently used by occupational therapists for pain in the shoulder after a stroke. Method Articles in English published between 2015 and 2019, of the randomized clinical trial type, with populations that stroke survivors a stroke and sequelae of shoulder pain were selected. The terms and combinations used were “shoulder pain and stroke and occupational therapy,” in the electronic databases, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Occupational Therapy Systematic Evaluation of Evidence (OTseeker), and PubMed. Statistical Review Manager (version 5.3) established the significance level P ≤ 0.05. Results Thirty-nine articles were found, but only four met the inclusion criteria. Electrical stimulation, therapeutic bandaging, and dry needling were eventually employed. For the meta-analysis, pain was the primary outcome, and range of motion (ROM) and upper limb function were secondary. Pain, ROM (external rotation, abduction, and flexion), and manual function were compared, and the meta-analysis showed improvement in the treatment group in clinical trials: pain (MD -2.08; 95% CI -3.23, -0.93; P = 0.0004), ROM (MD 4.67; 95% CI 1.54, 7.79; P = 0.0003), and manual function (MD 1.84; 95% CI 0.52, 3.16; P = 0.006). Conclusion Dry needling, California tripull taping (CTPT), and functional electrical stimulation controlled by brain-machine interface (BCI-FES) are proved effective in shoulder pain and functionality.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine pain anxiety after acquired brain injury (ABI) and its relationship to rehabilitation outcomes.Materials and Method: Participants consisted of 89 adults with an ABI participating in outpatient rehabilitation therapy. They completed a battery of neuropsychological tests at baseline along with surveys of mood, health-related self-efficacy, and pain anxiety. Separately, occupational therapists assessed basic and instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs) as well as therapy engagement across treatment after the sixth session.Results: Individuals who reported high pain anxiety had fewer years of formal education, lower self-efficacy, and more emotional distress than those with low pain anxiety. Although Blacks were about half (56%) of the study sample, they comprised the majority (73.1%) of individuals in the high pain anxiety group. Pain anxiety was negatively related to therapy engagement. Moderation analysis using linear regression indicated that pain anxiety moderated the influence of self-efficacy on basic ADLs.Conclusions: Pain anxiety, particularly when high, is negatively associated with rehabilitation outcomes for individuals with ABI. Among those with high pain anxiety, health-related self-efficacy is an important resilience characteristic to improve functional outcomes. In rehabilitation therapy, pain anxiety provides a novel intervention target to enhance ABI recovery.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the prevalence of shoulder pain and its functional limitations among patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted over a period of four months from October 2019 to January 2020 and included all patients with uncontrolled DM (HbA1c > 9) who are visiting the diabetes clinic at Security Forces Hospital during the study period. Telephone interviews were held by a physician from the Family Medicine Department using a previously validated questionnaire, that is, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Evaluation Form. Results A total of 285 patients were included in the study; 156 (54.7%) were females and 129 (45.3%) were males. Most (51.1%) of the patients aged 45-64 years. The majority of the patients 58.9% had type II DM and 41.1% of them had type I DM. The mean HbA1c level was 10.56. Of the patients are having shoulder pain (109; 38.2%), 42.5% were between 45 and 64 years of age and 44.1% were between 65 and 96 of years. While 176 (61.8%) of the participants had no pain at all, 70.5% males and 54.5% females did not have shoulder pain (p<0.001). The mean shoulder pain intensity for all patients was 5.81(SD=3.21), ranging from 4.71 (SD=3.15) to 6.13 (SD=3.29), according to different age groups, and showed a significant correlation (p<0.05). Conclusions Increasing prevalence of shoulder dysfunction is making physicians alert regarding early diagnosis and management of the disease. Thus, it should be mandatory to include screening, prevention, and rehabilitation strategies for shoulder dysfunction in diabetic care programs to improve the daily lifestyle of the patients.

Abstract
Background: Many people experience post-stroke pain (PSP). It is a long-term consequence of stroke that commonly goes unrecognised and untreated. As a result, an integrative review is needed to identify the primary factors that affect PSP and determine the impact on quality of life (QOL). Methods: An integrative review using a quantitatively led data synthesis, supported by qualitative evidence, was conducted. Results: Fourteen studies were identified and 2415 (968 females, 1447 males) people were included. Five primary themes were identified as effecting the experience of PSP; anxiety, depression, fatigue, cognitive function and physical function. Anxiety, depression and fatigue increase PSP. Pain, depression, fatigue and reduced physical function lower QOL. Conclusions: It is essential that clinicians recognise PSP in order to optimize QOL and function post-stroke. Further research is needed to employ a strategy to identify and objectively quantify PSP and its impact on QOL.

Abstract
Background Having patients self-manage their health conditions is a widely promoted concept, but many patients struggle to practice it effectively. Moreover, few studies have analyzed the nature of work required from patients and how such work fits into the context of their daily life. Objective This study aimed to review the characteristics of patient work in adult patients. Patient work refers to tasks that health conditions impose on patients (eg, taking medications) within a system of contextual factors. Methods A systematic scoping review was conducted using narrative synthesis. Data were extracted from PubMed, Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsycINFO, including studies from August 2013 to August 2018. The included studies focused on adult patients and assessed one or more of the following: (1) physical health–related tasks, (2) cognitive health–related tasks, or (3) contextual factors affecting these tasks. Tasks were categorized according to the themes that emerged: (1) if the task is always visible to others or can be cognitive, (2) if the task must be conducted collaboratively or can be conducted alone, and (3) if the task was done with the purpose of creating resources. Contextual factors were grouped according to the level at which they exert influence (micro, meso, or macro) and where they fit in the patient work system (the macroergonomic layer of physical, social, and organizational factors; the mesoergonomic layer of household and community; and the microergonomic triad of person-task-tools). Results In total, 67 publications were included, with 58 original research articles and 9 review articles. A variety of patient work tasks were observed, ranging from physical and tangible tasks (such as taking medications and visiting health care professionals) to psychological and social tasks (such as creating coping strategies). Patient work was affected by a range of contextual factors on the micro, meso, or macro levels. Our results indicate that most patient work was done alone, in private, and often imposing cognitive burden with low amounts of support. Conclusions This review sought to provide insight into the work burden of health management from a patient perspective and how patient context influences such work. For many patients, health-related work is ever present, invisible, and overwhelming. When researchers and clinicians design and implement patient-facing interventions, it is important to understand how the extra work impacts one’s internal state and coping strategy, how such work fits into daily routines, and if these changes could be maintained in the long term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shoulder pain is a common complication of hemiplegic patients that can interrupt their rehabilitation program and is associated with poorer outcomes. The usefulness of the suprascapular nerve block. (SSNB) in the stroke population has been suggested, but some concerns still remain. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of SSNB on pain intensity and passive range ofmotion (PROM) in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP). STUDY DESIGN A prospective, double blind, randomized controlled trial was conductedin 34 stroke patients with HSP. They were randomly divided into three groups: Localanesthetic (LA) injection into the trapezius muscle (placebo group), LA injection into thesuprascapular notch, and LA and corticosteroid (CS) injections into the suprascapularnotch.The main outcome was visual analog scale (VAS) scores evaluated before andafter administration of the injection at 1 hour, 1 week, and 1 month. RESULTS There were significant decreases in the VAS scores with all three injections at all follow-up time points (p: 0.001 for the placebo group, p <0.001 for the LA group, and p <0.001 for the LA+CS group). When changes in VAS scores were compared between the groups, the LA+CS group demonstrated a higher decrease in VAS than the placebo group. Improvement in the PROM was seen only in the LA and LA+CS groups. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study support the use of an SSNB with or without CS, to increase the range of motion in the affected shoulder, especially during the rehabilitation period.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The terminal sensory branches innervating the shoulder joint are potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of shoulder pain. This cadaveric study investigated in detail the anatomic pathway of the posterior terminal sensory branch of the axillary nerve (AN) and its relationship to nearby anatomic structures for applications, such as nerve block or ablation of the shoulder joint. METHODS For this study, nine shoulders were dissected. Following dissection, methylene blue was used to stain the pathway of the terminal sensory branches of the AN to provide a visual relationship to the nearby bony structures. A transparent grid was overlaid on the humeral head to provide further detailed information regarding the innervation to the shoulder joint. RESULTS Eight of the nine shoulders displayed terminal sensory branches of the AN. The terminal sensory branches of the AN innervated the posterolateral head of the humerus and shoulder capsule and were deep and distal to the motor branches innervating the deltoid muscle and teres minor muscle. All terminal branches dissected innervated the shoulder capsule at the posteroinferior-lateral aspect of the greater tuberosity of the humerus. All specimens displayed innervation to the shoulder joint in the lateral most 25% and inferior most 37.5% before methylene blue staining. CONCLUSION The terminal sensory branches of the AN consistently innervate the inferior and lateral aspects of the posterior humeral head and shoulder capsule. These nerves are easily accessible and would provide a practical target for nerve block or ablation to relieve shoulder pain without compromising motor integrity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided suprascapular block treatment in patients with painful hemiplegic shoulder whose pain was not reduced after conservative treatment. DESIGN The patients were those whose hemiplegic shoulder pain was not reduced by standard conservative treatment prior to discharge. The study group (n = 21) included patients who had undergone an ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block (SSNB). The control group (n = 21) were patients who had not undergone SSNB. Both groups undertook home exercise programs. All patients were evaluated at 1 week and 1 and 3 months after the discharge. Evaluations included shoulder range of motion (ROM), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, EQ-5D-3L for quality of life, the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and Brunnstrom staging. RESULTS The shoulder ROM significantly increased in the SSNB group at 1-3 months, when compared with the baseline value. The shoulder ROM significantly decreased (p ˂ 0.05) in the control group at 1-3 months, when compared with the baseline value. The pain VAS and EQ-5D-3L scores significantly decreased (p ˂ 0.05) after treatment in the follow-ups at 1 month in the SSNB group. The control group showed no change from the baseline scores (p ˃ 0.05). The MAS scores and Brunnstrom staging did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION The ultrasound-guided SSNB is a safe and more effective treatment than conservative treatment for painful hemiplegic shoulder. Further studies are needed to compare ultrasound-guided and non-guided suprascapular blocks as treatments for hemiplegic shoulder pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore strategies that persons with persistent shoulder pain after stroke use to manage their pain in daily life. DESIGN: A qualitative study using semi-structured face-to-face interviews, analysed by content analysis. SETTING: A university hospital. SUBJECTS: Thirteen community-dwelling persons (six women; median age: 65 years; range 57-77) with shoulder pain after stroke were interviewed median two years after the pain onset. RESULTS: An overall theme 'Managing shoulder pain by adopting various practical and cognitive strategies' emerged from the analysis. Three categories were identified: (1) practical modifications to solve daily life problems; (2) changed movement patterns and specific actions to mitigate the pain, by non-painful movements, avoidance of pain-provoking activities and various pain distracting activities and (3) learned how to deal with the pain mentally. Several strategies were used simultaneously and they were experienced successful to various degrees. CONCLUSION: The findings in the present study indicate that persons with persistent shoulder pain after stroke use both practical and cognitive strategies to manage their pain.
