Subluxation of the shoulder joint in stroke patients and the influence of selected factors on the incidence of instability.

Conclusions: 1. The clinical symptoms of stroke are the cause of subluxation in the shoulder joint. 2. Subluxation occurs more frequently in patients with a known presence of fluid in the subhumeral and subdeltoidbursae and in patients with reduced functional capacity. 3. The reduction of subluxation and bursal fluid was influenced by the exercise program and improved functional capacity. PMID: 23898003 [PubMed - in process]
