Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no consistent approach to rehabilitation following arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation surgery (ASSS) in the UK. The aim of this study was to agree a set of post-operative guidelines for clinical practice. METHOD Expert stakeholders (surgeons, physiotherapists and patients) were identified via professional networks and patient involvement and engagements groups. A three-stage online Delphi study was undertaken. Consensus was defined by the OMERACT threshold of 70% agreement. RESULTS 11 surgeons, 22 physiotherapists and 4 patients participated. It was agreed patients should be routinely immobilised in a sling for up to 3 weeks but can discard earlier if able. During the immobilisation period, patients should move only within a defined "safe zone." Permitted functional activities include using cutlery, lifting a drink, slicing bread, using kitchen utensils, wiping a table, light dusting, pulling up clothing, washing/drying dishes. Closing car doors or draining saucepans should be avoided. Through range movements can commence after 4 weeks, resisted movements at 6 weeks. Patients can resume light work as they feel able and return to manual work after 12 weeks. Return to non-contact sports when functional markers for return to play are met was agreed. Return to contact sport is based on function & confidence after a minimum of 12 weeks. Additional factors to consider when determining rehabilitation progression: functional/physical milestones, patient's confidence and presence of kinesiophobia. The preferred outcome measure is the Oxford Instability Shoulder Score. CONCLUSION This consensus provides expert recommendations for the development of rehabilitation guidelines following ASSS.

Abstract
Objective Postoperative rehabilitation is particularly important for Rotator cuff injury. However, type 2 diabetic patients with RCI (T2DM-RCI) are at an elevated risk of rehabilitation failure. The factors influencing the postoperative rehabilitation management of these patients have yet to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the postoperative rehabilitation of T2DM-RCI patients. Methods Data was collected using a descriptive qualitative research design. The sample included 22 interviewees, who were recruited in Subei People's Hospital according to the purposive sampling method. Colaizzi's method was employed for the purpose of evaluation in the course of the data analysis. Findings Thematic analysis of the postoperative rehabilitation views of the interviewees identified eight sub-themes connected to three main themes in accordance with the Behaviour Change Wheel Theory. These were capability-related, opportunity-related, and motivation-related factors. Conclusion It is imperative to enhance the glycaemic control and health perception of T2DM-RCI patients. To this end, rehabilitation programmes, comprising exercise and dietary modifications, must be tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Furthermore, it is crucial to harness the potential of family and social support to motivate patients to maintain a positive outlook.

Abstract
Background Optimal rehabilitation following arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation for traumatic anterior instability is unknown. The purpose of this study was to establish current UK practice for this patient group. Methods A self-administered online questionnaire was developed and distributed to UK surgeons and physiotherapists. Results 138 responses were received. Routine immobilisation was reported in 79.7% of responses with a cross-body sling being the preferred position (63.4%). Duration of immobilisation and timescales to initiate movement were highly variable. Return to light work was advised when patients felt able (25.4%) or after 6 weeks (26.1%). 58.7% recommended waiting for 12 weeks to return to manual work. 56% recommended non-contact sport could be resumed after 12 weeks. For contact sport, recommendations varied from 6 weeks (3.8%) to 6 months (5.8%). Psychological readiness was the most frequently cited criteria for return to play (58.6%). Factors such as hyperlaxity (40.6%), age (32.6%) and kinesiophobia (28.3%) were not considered as relevant as reported quality of surgical fixation (50%). Conclusion There is no clear consensus regarding optimal post-operative rehabilitation following arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation. Further work is required to establish high value, personalised pathways for this patient group.

An evaluation of wrist and forearm movement during purposeful activities and range of movement exercises after surgical repair of a distal radius fracture: A randomized crossover study. J Hand Ther 2023; 36:593-605. [PMID: 35953335 DOI: 10.1016/j.jht.2022.07.009] [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: 11/08/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/03/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Following surgical repair of distal radius fractures, range of movement (ROM) exercises are the primary approach for restoring movement during early rehabilitation. Specified purposeful activities can also be used, but the movement produced by activities is not well-understood. The study aimed to evaluate and compare movement during purposeful activity and ROM exercises METHODS: Thirty-five adults with a surgically repaired distal radius facture undertook two 10-minutes interventions: purposeful activity (PA) and active ROM exercises (AE), separated by a 60 minute washout, in random order. Data collection occurred during a single session on the same day. Electrogoniometry was used to measure time-accumulated position (TAP), a global metric of movement range and amount, maximum active end range, movement repetitions, excursions >75% of available ROM, and active time. Data were analyzed using linear mixed and generalized linear mixed regression models. RESULTS Purposeful activities selected were predominantly household or food preparation. TAP was significantly higher during AE than PA: -1878 [-2388, -1367], p ≤.001, for wrist extension/flexion. PA produced significantly greater movement repetitions for wrist extension/flexion and deviation, excursions beyond 75% of available ROM, and active time, than AE. During PA the wrist was extending/flexing a mean of 97% [92, 101], of the time, compared with 43% [40, 47], during AE. There were no significant differences in maximum end range for wrist extension between PA, 33.7° [29.8, 37.5] and AE, 34.5° [30.7, 38.4], or for ulnar deviation. CONCLUSIONS ROM exercises produced higher volumes of sustained joint position than purposeful activity but activities, selected for importance and challenge, produced significantly higher volumes of continuous, repetitious motion in equivalent ranges of movement as exercise repetitions. The study challenges therapists to consider the rehabilitative potential of movement produced by activity for restoring movement and function in the early postoperative weeks.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction: Running is a simple, comfortable, low-cost aerobic exercise that promotes health and prevents obesity and heart and brain diseases. Its practice has grown considerably as therapy, and recent studies indicate that there may also be benefits during physical rehabilitation. Objective: Study the effects of running on sports injuries during rehabilitation. Methods: A search was made in the current medical literature to develop a therapeutic management plan. The experimental test method consisted of a study with 38 healthy runners. They were divided into healthy and injured groups according to their sports injuries. Within one year after the experiment, the physical function of the two groups of runners was evaluated again. The result was compared through mathematical statistics among other research methods. results: The total score of the injured group in the FMS test of screening general body movement function was ≤14 points; the comparison found that the athletes in the injured group generally showed weaker bilateral function than the healthy group. Conclusion: Running exercise is feasible in patients with sports injuries, medium intensity running can improve the speed of recovery in these patients. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Rotator cuff related disorders (RCRD) are common. Exercise-based rehabilitation can improve outcomes, yet uncertainty exists regarding the characteristics of these exercises. This scoping review paper summarises the key characteristics of the exercise-based rehabilitation of rotator cuff related disorders (RCRD). An iterative search process was used to capture the breadth of current evidence and a narrative summary of the data was produced. 57 papers were included. Disagreement around terminology, diagnostic standards, and outcome measures limits the comparison of the data. Rehabilitation should utilise a biopsychosocial approach, be person-centred and foster self-efficacy. Biomedically framed beliefs can create barriers to rehabilitation. Pain drivers in RCRSD are unclear, as is the influence of pain during exercise on outcomes. Expectations and preferences around pain levels should be discussed to allow the co-creation of a programme that is tolerated and therefore engaged with. The optimal parameters of exercise-based rehabilitation remain unclear; however, programmes should be individualised and progressive, with a minimum duration of 12 weeks. Supervised or home-based exercises are equally effective. Following rotator cuff repair, rehabilitation should be milestone-driven and individualised; communication across the MDT is essential. For individuals with massive rotator cuff tears, the anterior deltoid programme is a useful starting point and should be supplemented by functional rehabilitation, exercises to optimise any remaining cuff and the rest of the kinetic chain. In conclusion, exercise-based rehabilitation improves outcomes for individuals with a range of RCRD. The optimal parameters of these exercises remain unclear. Variation exists across current physiotherapy practice and post-operative rehabilitation protocols, reflecting the wide-ranging spectrum of individuals presenting with RCRD. Clinicians should use their communication and rehabilitation expertise to plan an exercise-based program in conjunction with the individual with RCRSD, which is regularly reviewed and adjusted.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of early rehabilitation compared with delayed/standard rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair for pain, function, range of movement, strength, and repair integrity. Design Systematic review and meta-analyses. Methods We searched databases and included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing early with delayed/standard rehabilitation for patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery. We assessed risk of bias of the RCTs using the Cochrane RoB 2 tool. Results Twenty RCTs, with 1841 patients, were included. The majority of the RCTs were of high or unclear risk of overall bias. We found substantial variations in the rehabilitation programmes, time in the sling and timing of exercise progression. We found no statistically significant differences for pain and function at any follow-up except for the outcome measure Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation at six months (MD: 6.54; 95%CI: 2.24–10.84) in favour of early rehabilitation. We found statistically significant differences in favour of early rehabilitation for shoulder flexion at six weeks (MD: 7.36; 95%CI: 2.66–12.06), three (MD: 8.45; 95%CI: 3.43–13.47) and six months (MD: 3.57; 95%CI: 0.81–6.32) and one year (MD: 1.42; 95%CI: 0.21–2.64) and similar differences for other planes of movement. In terms of repair integrity, early mobilisation does not seem to increase the risk of re-tears (OR:1.05; 95%CI: 0.64–1.75). Discussion Current approaches to early mobilisation, based largely on early introduction of passive movement, did not demonstrate significant differences in most clinical outcomes, although we found statistically significant differences in favour of early rehabilitation for range of movement. Importantly, there were no differences in repair integrity between early and delayed/standard rehabilitation. Most rehabilitation programmes did not consider early active movement as soon as the patient feels able. With ongoing variation in rehabilitation protocols there remains a need for large high quality RCT to inform the optimal approach to rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review and synthesize qualitative research studies exploring the experiences of Healthcare Providers (HCPs) of managing shoulder pain. METHODS A meta-ethnographic approach was adopted to review and synthesize eligible studies. The findings from each included study were translated into one another using Noblit and Hares' seven-stage process. A systematic search of eleven electronic databases was conducted in February 2021. Methodological quality was assessed using the CASP Appraisal Tool. RESULTS Ten studies were included in the meta-synthesis, all deemed of high methodological quality. Three themes were identified; (1) Lack of consensus: "we all have different approaches." (2) Challenges to Changing Practice: It's "really hard to change and switch to a different approach," (3) Getting "Buy in" to Treatment: "…so you have to really sell it early". CONCLUSION Healthcare providers working with people with shoulder pain struggle to reconcile, often conflicting, research recommendations with their own clinical experience, beliefs and patient expectations. These findings help explain the continued lack of consensus on how best to manage shoulder pain in clinical practice.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONHealthcare providers (HCPs) working with people with shoulder pain struggle to resolve conflicts between evidence-based recommendations, clinical experience, their own shoulder pain beliefs and patient expectations and preferences.Stronger collaboration across professional disciplines is needed to address the current lack of consensus on the management of shoulder pain.Many HCP's find it difficult to engage patients with shoulder pain in exercise and they work hard to "sell" this approach to patients using strategies such as education, shared decision making and therapeutic alliance.
