“…When pathology is not obvious in static assessment, real time ultrasound monitoring provides a major benefit. Dynamic examinations increase the diagnosis of subacromial impingement syndrome, instability of the long head of the biceps arm, snapping hip syndrome, and others [15,16,17,18]. www.fizjoterapiapolska.pl…”

Ultrasound examination (USG) is becoming more popular among physiotherapists. The term “rehabilitative ultrasound imaging” (RUI) refers to the use of USG in the rehabilitation process. An examination (ultrasound) is used in physiotherapeutic therapy to evaluate the tissue and function of the musculoskeletal system. The real image allows for accurate observation and stimulation of the necessary muscles during kinesiotherapy, while measurements track the treatment’s progress. Furthermore, the ultrasound examination aims to assist the physiotherapist in making an early diagnosis of dysfunctional aspects that may necessitate consultation with another specialty, thereby reducing medical errors. Preparing an educational program and conducting training in accordance with established standards and guidelines will allow physiotherapists to be adequately prepared to perform ultrasound examinations and dispel any doubts about a physiotherapist’s competence and the possibility of performing ultrasound examinations in a medical setting.

“…In his studies Fernandez-Lao C. et al (2016) 30 suggest the effectiveness of an internet-based training program as a supplement to traditional training for the development of skills in ultrasound and palpation of the shoulder region in undergraduate physiotherapy students. Collebrusco L. et al (2017) 31 RUSI can be a reliable method to measure and study the movement of the rotator cuff, and the passage area under the acromial during the contraction of the supraspinatus. Moreover, RUSI seems to be reliable also in specific cases of motor control disorders, observing in real time the behaviour of the musculature that stabilizes the scapula through ultrasound feedback during the activation of the stabilizing muscles of the shoulder.…”

Study design: Narrative Review. Background: The use of ultrasound imaging to assess muscle and related soft tissue morphology and function has recently developed in physiotherapy practice. This approach has been called Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) and is supported by new legislative regulations: law n.24 of 8 March 2017 and law n.3 of 11 January 2018. Objective: Here, we provide (a) an overview of current literature regarding the reliability of the ultrasound imaging for rehabilitation use; (b) the possible use in the functional evaluation and treatment through ultrasound biofeedback; (c) training strategies for the use in the clinical practice, including benefits, limitations and skills. Methods: The findings in the following electronic databases Medline, PubMed and Pedro from the last 20 years, were used. Exclusion and inclusion criteria were described for eligibility. Results: Search provided 81 articles. Of these, 23 were excluded for the title, 14 for abstract, 16 because not relevant in the discussion of this work. 7 articles were included as related articles for a total of 35 reviewed articles. Conclusions: Clinical heterogeneity observed among the studies suggests analyzing and validating the RUSI protocols in more detail to create shared training standards, guidelines and good clinical practices.

“…Shoulder impingement syndrome is defined as discomfort or pathology that is present in the subacromial bursa, subacromial space, and rotator cuff tendons [2].Numerous variables, including overuse of the shoulder muscles, an improper scapulothoracic rhythm, instability of the glenohumeral joint, degeneration of the rotator cuff tendons, and altered acromion shapes, contribute to the pathogenesis of SIS 1 . The most common reason for shoulder discomfort in adults is subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).The supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa, and other structures are compressed as they travel through space between the acromion and humeral head, causing the problem 2 .…”

Purpose: To find out the association of shoulder impingement syndrome with BMI in younger adults with reporting shoulder pain. Methodology: This analytical cross-sectional study was carried out involving 18 to 39 years of male and female. Data was collected from Gujarat city (City Hospital, Gujrat Hospital, and THQ Hospital). This study was completed in 4 months after approval of synopsis. And total 233 males and females were evaluated. 18 to 39 years of males and females and who are willing to participate were included. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data was collected on demographic information (age, gender, occupation, height, weight, and BMI), as well as information specific to shoulder impingement syndrome. Findings: Total patients were 233.There were 19 patients who were underweight overall or 8.2%.There were 12 underweight individuals with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 9.0%.There were 7 underweight patients with negative Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 7.0%.75 patients were overall healthy, and their proportion was 32.2%.There were 28 healthy patients with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 21.1%.The percentage of healthy patients with a negative Neer's Test was 47, or 47.0%.There were 93 patients overall who were overweight, making up 39.9% of the total.There were 58 overweight individuals with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 43.6%.Neer's Test results for overweight individuals who were 35 and whose percentage was 35.0% were negative. A total of 46 patients were obese, making up 19.7% of the total.There were 35 obese individuals with positive Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 26.3%.There were 11 obese individuals with negative Neer's Test results, and their proportion was 11.0%. Conclusion: This study reveals that the prevalence of shoulder impingement is associated with overweight or obese patients. The ratio of shoulder impingement was high in females. My result was significant. Recommendations: For study, it is recommended to gather data from several cities so that the conclusions may be generalized. In order to prevent people from developing shoulder impingement, obesity risk factors should be addressed.
