Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of continuous passive motion (CPM) on hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain.Methods Forty-four patients were divided into a treatment and a control group.Routine stroke treatment was given to the patients in the control group,and CPM was added for patients in the treatment group.A visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) ,Fugl-Meyer(FM) upper extremity motor scale and functional independence measure (FIM) were used to evaluate the results.Results The VAS,FM and FIM scores of both groups improved after treatment,but the VAS results among the treatment group were significantly better than in the control group. Conclusion CPM can be a good treatment for hemiplegie patients with shoulder pain.
