Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of robotic treadmill training on lower extremity motor function, functional independence, and walking in men with traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Patients and methods: A total of 30 consecutive male patients (mean age 36.6 years; range, 19 to 53 years) with traumatic incomplete SCI who were admitted to our inpatient clinic of the rehabilitation hospital were included in this study. All patients had conventional rehabilitation for five days weekly. The patients were randomized into two groups as the robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) group (n=15) for 30 min for three times a week for a total of five weeks and the conventional rehabilitation group (control group, n=15). The patients were evaluated sociodemographically and neurologically at baseline. Lower Extremity Motor Score (LEMS),
ÖZElastofibroma dorsi nadir görülen, genellikle skapulanın altındaki kaslar arasına yerleşen iyi huylu bir yumuşak doku lezyonudur. Sıklıkla asemptomatiktir ancak skapulanın hareketiyle orta şiddette omuz ağrısına neden olabilir. Klinik bulgular ve görüntüleme yöntemleri tanıda yararlıdır. Sırtın skapular bölgesinde bir yumuşak doku kitlesi ile eşlik eden omuz ağrısının ayırıcı tanısında elastofibroma dorsi de akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu yazıda, polikliniğimize başvuran ve tek taraflı elastofibroma dorsi tanısı konulan 57 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunuldu.Anahtar sözcükler: Elastofibroma dorsi; omuz ağrısı; yumuşak doku lezyonu.
ABSTRACTElastofibroma dorsi is a rare, benign, soft tissue lesion which is usually located in the infrascapular region between the muscles. It is often asymptomatic; however, it may cause moderate shoulder pain during the movement of the scapula. Clinical findings and imaging methods are useful for the diagnosis. Elastofibroma dorsi should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a soft tissue mass in the scapular region of the back associated with shoulder pain. Herein, we present a 57-year-old male case admitted to our outpatient clinic and diagnosed with a unilateral elastofibroma dorsi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
