Da una ricerca sul database MEDLINE, inserendo la query “shoulder” con il filtro che mostra solo gli articoli scientifici pubblicati in questo ultimo anno (2022), sono mostrati 7143 risultati, confermando il trend positivo degli scorsi anni con 7224 (2021), 6782 (2020) e 5805 (2019).
Aggiungendo alla ricerca sul database il campo di interesse specifico “rehabilitation”, i risultati scendono a 1259 per il 2022, 1330 (2021), 1308 (2020) e 1770 (2019).
Ne ho selezionate 7 sulla base dell’interesse soggettivo, ed elencati qui sotto non in ordine di importanza.
1. MANUAL THERAPY VS EXERCISE
Paraskevopoulos, Eleftherios, et al. “Effectiveness of Combined Program of Manual Therapy and Exercise vs Exercise Only in Patients with Rotator Cuff-Related Shoulder Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.” Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach, Dec. 2022, p. 194173812211361, https://doi.org/10.1177/19417381221136104.
Aggiungere la terapia manuale all’esercizio terapeutico durante la seduta riabilitativa non cambia gli outcome a breve e a lungo termine.
2. CLINICAL DESCRIPTORS
Requejo-Salinas, Néstor, et al. “International Physical Therapists Consensus on Clinical Descriptors for Diagnosing Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain: A Delphi Study.” Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy, vol. 26, no. 2, Feb. 2022, p. 100395, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjpt.2022.100395.
Per stabilire una diagnosi di RCRSP, dovrebbe essere fatta una diagnosi differenziale con altre condizioni cliniche come l’instabilità di spalla o la sindrome della spalla congelata, poiché la loro presentazione clinica può a volte essere simile.
3. FROZEN SHOULDER
Millar, Neal L., et al. “Frozen Shoulder.” Nature Reviews Disease Primers, vol. 8, no. 1, Sept. 2022, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41572-022-00386-2.
