Assessment of glenohumeral subluxation in poststroke hemiplegia: Comparison between ultrasound and fingerbreadth palpation methods (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 American Physical Therapy Association. Background. Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) is a common poststroke complication. Treatment of GHS is hampered by the lack of objective, real-time clinical measurements.Objective. The aims of this study wer...

The effect of arm position on the ultrasonographic measurements of the acromion-greater tuberosity distance (2014)
Journal Article

Ultrasonographic measurements of acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance have shown to be reliable and valid in the assessment of glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) in patients with stroke. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect o... Read More about The effect of arm position on the ultrasonographic measurements of the acromion-greater tuberosity distance.

Reliability and validity of ultrasonographic measurements of acromion-greater tuberosity distance in poststroke hemiplegia (2011)
Journal Article

Objectives The primary aim of this study was to assess the intrarater reliability of ultrasonographic measurements of acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance in patients with stroke using portable ultrasound. A secondary aim was to determine the d... Read More about Reliability and validity of ultrasonographic measurements of acromion-greater tuberosity distance in poststroke hemiplegia.

Interrater and intrarater reliability of ultrasonographic measurements of acromion-greater tuberosity distance in healthy people (2011)
Journal Article

Acromion-greater tuberosity (AGT) distance could potentially be used to assess rotator cuff tears and shoulder subluxation in patients with poststroke hemiplegia. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater and intrarater reliability of ultras...

Within-day and day-to-day intrarater reliability of ultrasonographic measurements of acromion-greater tuberosity distance in healthy people (2010)
Journal Article

Shoulder subluxation is subjectively assessed by a palpable increase in the distance between the acromion and the humerus. Diagnostic ultrasound has potential for objective assessment of this distance. We used portable ultrasound to measure the dista...
