Abstract

Painful shoulder impairments results in substantial difficulties in daily activities. Shoulder pain, as a common musculoskeletal disease, often arises due to dysfunction in the complex network of structures, which is crucial for the extensive mobility of the shoulder joint. Treatment of shoulder problems has also an effect on economic costs. Disorders increase the demand on health care; affected people show decreased working capacity and substantial absence due to sickness. Sometimes these factors lead to early retirement or job loss.

Highlights

Painful shoulder impairments results in substantial difficulties in daily activities
Design: The impact of three-week inpatient rehabilitation on pain, sleep quality and shoulder function, respectively biomarkers for stress and pain was investigated in a multicenter study
The improvement of our main outcome parameters showed that an inpatient rehabilitation program has a long-lasting effect on pain and function in shoulder disabilities and is very important for the improvement in quality of life

Summary

Introduction

Painful shoulder impairments results in substantial difficulties in daily activities. As a common musculoskeletal disease, often arises due to dysfunction in the complex network of structures, which is crucial for the extensive mobility of the shoulder joint. Treatment of shoulder problems has an effect on economic costs. Disorders increase the demand on health care; affected people show decreased working capacity and substantial absence due to sickness. Sometimes these factors lead to early retirement or job loss [1]. The goal of non-operative interventions used in the rehabilitation programs refer to: (i) Pain reduction, (ii) Help in recovery and maintain a passive range of motion, (iii) To strengthen the rotator cuff in a non-impingement range of motion, and (iv) To prevent the occurrence of progressive pathological changes
