Presentation / Conference
Kumar, P., Harling, . S., Sparks, A., & Brouwers, J. (2022, July). Effects of electrical stimulation combined with rotator cuff rehabilitation for the management of hemiplegic shoulder pain and glenohumeral subluxation in people with chronic stroke. Poster presented at ACPIN International Conference, 2022, London

Background: Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) and Glenohumeral subluxation (GHS) are common post-stroke complications reported in up to 65% and 81% of patients. Poor motor function and prevalence of rotator cuff (RC) muscle weakness increases the risk o...
