“…Apparently, additional training exercises are aimed at expanding the subacromial space. This may be a sport-specific adaptation to prevent injuries [25]. GHS was assessed clinically using a linear measure of fingerbreadths between the acromion and the humeral head [26].…”

Glenohumeral Subluxation (GHS) is one cause of shoulder pain after stroke. The greater the distance of GHS, the higher is the chance of rotator tendonitis or tearing of the tendon, causing limited motions and excruciating pain. Cross Cerebellar Diaschisis (CCD), a reduction of blood flow in the contralateral cerebellum after the supratentorial stroke, is detectable by a brain perfusion scan, and it has marked impacts on functional outcomes after stroke. We presented here a case on hemiplegic stroke. CCD of the patient persisted for 7 months without improvements. The patient underwent measurement of GHS and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography to confirm the characteristic relationship. The patient’s GHS persisted for a prolonged period of time during which the acromiohumeral distance was longer than those of the general CCD-free stroke. Together with persisted CCD, the persistence of GHS was correlated with a prolonged CCD, which is presumably one sign of motor deficits associated with CCD.

Context: Recreational overhead athletes are exposed to high overload, which increases the risk of shoulder injuries. Reduction of the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) is often associated with rotator cuff–related shoulder pain (RCRSP) among the general population. However, the AHD of symptomatic shoulders of recreational athletes has not yet been compared with their asymptomatic shoulders. Objective: To compare the AHD of a symptomatic to asymptomatic shoulder at rest (0°) and 60° abduction. To establish the relationship between AHD, pain, and functional limitations of recreational athletes with RCRSP. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: University laboratory. Participants: A total of 45 recreational overhead athletes with RCRSP were examined. Main Outcome Measures: The AHD was measured by ultrasonography at 0° and 60° abduction (angles). Shoulder pain was assessed using a numeric pain scale, whereas functional limitations were assessed using the The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire. Differences in the between-shoulders condition (symptomatic and asymptomatic) were determined using 2-way analysis of variance for repeated measures. A Pearson correlation established the relationship between AHD, pain, and functional limitations. Results: No angles × shoulder condition interactions (P = .776) nor shoulder condition effects (P = .087) were detected, suggesting no significant differences (P > .05) between asymptomatic and symptomatic shoulders in the AHD at 0° or 60°. The AHD at 60° reduced significantly compared with 0° (3.05 [1.36] mm [2.77–3.33], angle effects: P < .001). The AHD at 0° and 60° was not correlated with pain or functional limitations (−.205 ≤ r ≤ .210, .167 ≤ P ≤ .585). Conclusions: The AHD of recreational athletes is not decreased in symptomatic shoulders compared with asymptomatic shoulders. Reduction of the AHD in symptomatic shoulders is not associated with an increase in pain or functional limitations of recreational athletes with RCRSP.
