Shoulder kinetics and ultrasonography changes after performing a high-intensity task in spinal cord injury subjects and healthy controls

摘要: This is a prospective and comparative study between two groups. The objective of this was to compare the changes in shoulder joint forces their moments, as well any possible ultrasound changes, when subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI) healthy controls (CG) undertake high-intensity manual wheelchair propulsion test. conducted an inpatient SCI rehabilitation center. A group 22 at level T2 or below who use (MWU), categorized AIS grade B, were compared CG 12 subjects. Subjects each performed variables analyzed moments beginning end Ultrasound before after test also analyzed. Correlations drawn ultrasonography demographic variables. In both groups, peak increased almost all directions. No differences parameters found. greater long-axis biceps tendon thickness (LBTT) associated more pain according WUSPI VAS (r=0.428, P<0.05 r=0.452, P<0.05, respectively). Shoulder increase intense task. SCI, these increases center on less chance producing subacromial damage. are produced variables, whereas poorer clinical functional evaluation MWUs appears be related thicker tendon.
