“…Several published etiologies include hereditary, infection, vaccination, surgery, trauma, or autoimmune. [1,4,6,16,18,22,32,35,36,[39][40][41]46] e most common etiology is postviral infection. To date, there are only nine published case reports of PTS associated with the novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and nine case reports associated with COVID-19 vaccination.…”

Background: Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare brachial plexopathy characterized by self-limiting shoulder girdle and upper arm pain followed by the upper extremity weakness and sensory changes. While the etiology is not well-understood, the most common cause of PTS is thought to be postviral. There are at least nine reports, to the best of our knowledge, of PTS associated with COVID-19 infection and nine reports associated with COVID-19 vaccination. Case Description: Here, we present a case of PTS after COVID-19 vaccination in a 64-year-old male and a review of the current literature. Conclusion: PTS can occur post-COVID-19 vaccination and should be on the differential diagnosis when patient continues to experience shoulder pain and develops weakness or sensory changes in the extremity.

“…It can be diagnosed by clinical sign and symptoms [30], MRI, EMG and nerve conduction testing [7]. As previously stated, the etiology of it is unknown [13,31], however some theories put forth in the literature include hereditary [16,32,33], infection that is most common than other [31,[34][35][36][37][38][39], vaccination [17,[40][41][42][43][44], surgery [45], autoimmune [15,46], peri-partum, peri-operative [11], trauma and vigorous physical activity [44].…”

Background Acute peripheral neuropathy, also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome or neuralgic amyotrophy, mostly affects the upper brachial plexus trunks, which include the shoulder girdle. It is typically accompanied by abrupt, intense pain, weakness, and sensory disruption. The etiology and causes of this disease are still unknown because of its low prevalence, however viral reactions-induced inflammation is one of its frequent causes. Case presentation Here, we introduce a professional wrestler patient who was diagnosed with PTS after vaccination and was treated, and we review some articles in this field. Conclusion When it comes to shoulder-girdle complaints and pain, Parsonage-Turner syndrome can be a differential diagnosis. Corticosteroids during the acute period, followed by physical therapy, appear to be an efficient way to manage pain, inflammation, muscular atrophy, and the process of recovering to full nerve regeneration.

“…Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints of the musculoskeletal system, with a lifetime prevalence estimated between 7 and 10%, and is most frequently caused by impingement syndromes and rotator cuff tears [ 1 , 2 ]. Other causes for shoulder pain should also be considered in the differential diagnosis [ 3 ], such as osteoarthritis, nerve irritation [ 4 ], instability, Parsonage–Turner syndrome [ 5 , 6 ], tumors, and conditions of inner organs [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], rheumatic diseases [ 11 ], alterations of local blood vessels [ 12 ], trauma, and osteonecrosis [ 13 ].…”

Shoulder pain is regularly associated with limited mobility and limitations in activities of daily living. In occupational therapy, various interventions, including active isokinetic training with a Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment (BTE) Work Simulator, help the patient improve shoulder mobility and alleviate pain. This randomized controlled cohort study aims to evaluate the impact of different isokinetic movement patterns on the DASH score, pain, and objective performance measures, such as range of motion (ROM) and hand grip strength. Patients that participated in a specific 3-week inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation were divided into two groups. The first group (UNI-group, n = 9) carried out uniplanar exercises for shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation. The patients in the second group (ADL-group, n = 10) imitated multiplanar everyday movements, such as climbing on a ladder, loading a shopping cart, and raising a glass to their mouth. Compared to the UNI-group, the ADL-group improved significantly in DASH scores (mean −10.92 ± 12.59 vs. −22.83 ± 11.31), pain (NPRS −1.11 ± 2.37 vs. 3.70 ± 2.00), and shoulder abduction (+2.77 ± 15.22 vs. +25.50 ± 21.66 degrees). In conclusion, the specific BTE exercise program with multiplanar movement patterns contributed considerably to the therapeutic improvement.
