Upper limb pain and decline in strength during rehabilitation for a lower limb injury

摘要: Background/aim: This study aimed to establish changes in upper limb strength and range of motion that may occur over a short period time when rehabilitation is focused on lower injuries. Methods: The research was single group with pre-post design. A total 24 patients receiving therapy services for injury received an assessment admission then three weeks later during inpatient rehabilitation. Upper involved goniometry, dynamometric evaluations, manual muscle testing (MMT) pain. Findings: significant decrease right grasp (change −1.2, 95% CI: −2.4–0.0, P=0.04) occurred between Time 1 (initial admission) 2 (three later). There more than 3° shoulder flexion (−3.1, CI −6.2, −0.1) abduction (−4, −8.1, −0.17) Times 2. Approximately 42% participants reported musculoskeletal pain at both times. Pain most commonly the shoulder...
