Journal Article
Kumar, P., Fernando, C., Mendoza, D., & Shah, R. (2022). Risk and associated factors for hemiplegic shoulder pain in people with stroke: A systematic literature review. Physical Therapy Reviews, 27(3), 191-204. https://doi.org/10.1080/10833196.2021.2019369

Introduction: Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is reported in up to 40% of people with stroke and has been associated with spasticity and glenohumeral subluxation. The frequency of HSP has reduced in the last two decades which is most likely due to imp...

Does the application of a Lycra arm sleeve change shoulder biomechanics in people with stroke? - A preliminary study (2021)
Journal Article
Kumar, P. (2022). Does the application of a Lycra arm sleeve change shoulder biomechanics in people with stroke? - A preliminary study. Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, 34(2), 116-121. https://doi.org/10.1097/JPO.0000000000000408

Introduction Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is reported in up to 81% of patients with stroke. Our previous studies found that a Lycra sleeve can reduce acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance (used for assessment of GHS) in people with chronic str...
