This study explores whether shoulder pain after stroke is related to shoulder subluxation, age, limitations in shoulder range of motion, and upper extremity motor impairment.<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Method.\n Shoulder pain was measured with a visual analog scale in 20 subjects admitted to a rehabilitation hospital within 6 weeks of onset of their first stroke. Degree of shoulder pain was correlated with vertical, horizontal, and total asymmetries of glenohumeral subluxation; age; shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation; and the upper extremity subscore of the Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment.<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results.\n Shoulder pain after stroke was not correlated with age<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n .019<\/jats:italic>\n , P =\n .916); vertical<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n .081<\/jats:italic>\n , P =\n .324), horizontal<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n .126<\/jats:italic>\n , P =\n .241), or total asymmetry<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n \u2212.098<\/jats:italic>\n , p =\n .288); shoulder flexion<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n .049<\/jats:italic>\n , p =\n .390) or abduction<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n \u2212.074<\/jats:italic>\n , p =\n .337); or Fugl-Meyer scores<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n \u2212.123<\/jats:italic>\n , P =\n .257). In contrast, shoulder pain was strongly correlated with degree of shoulder external rotation<\/jats:italic>\n (r\n k<\/jats:sub>\n =\n \u2212.457<\/jats:italic>\n , P =\n .006).<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusion.\n These results do not support a strong relationship between shoulder subluxation and pain after stroke. Appropriate precautions should be taken to prevent range of motion limitations that may result in shoulder pain.<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5014\/ajot.50.3.194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,16]],"date-time":"2012-04-16T14:21:04Z","timestamp":1334586064000},"page":"194-201","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":109,"title":["Shoulder Pain and Subluxation After Stroke: Correlation or Coincidence?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Richard D.","family":"Zorowitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Richard D.
