Objective To explore the short and long term efficacy of ultrasound therapy combined with muscle imbalance adjustment training in patients with adhesive capsulitis(AC) ofthe shoulder. Methods A total of 60 AC patients were divided into an observation group and a control group,both each consisting of 30 cases. The observation group underwentultrasound therapy along with muscle imbalance adjustment training,while the control group received acupuncture treatment,both for a duration of 20 days. The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),goniom-eter for ROM,Manual Muscle Testing(MMT),Constant-Murley Shoulder Score,and modified Barthel index were used to access shoulder jointpain level,range of motion (ROM),peripheral muscle strength,shoulder joint func-tion,and daily living abilities,respectively. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were utilized to evaluate the levels of anxiety and depression.All the assessments were conducted and compared between the two groups before treatment,at the end of treatment,and at 6 and 12 months after treatment. Results Both groups showed varying degrees of improvement in ROM,MMT,VAS,Constant-Murley score,modified Barthel index,and emotional status compared to pre-treatment. The observation group demonstrated superior outcomes in posterior shoulder extension strength,VAS,Constant-Murley score,modified Barthel index,HAMA,and HAMD scores at the end of treatment (P<0.05). At 6 months post-treatment,the observation group showed better shoulder joint flexion,extension,abduction,and adduction ROM,as well as muscle strength in flexion,external rotation,and internal rotation,VAS,Constant-Murley score,modified Barthel index,HAMA,and HAMD scores. At 12 months after treatment,the observation group continued to show superior outcomes in all the aforementioned indexes (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of ultrasound therapy and muscle imbalance adjustment training can effectively reduce shoulder joint pain,improve ROM,enhance muscle strength around the shoulder joint,improve shoulder joint function,alleviate anxiety and depression,and ultimately enhance the quality of life for patients with AC.

Objective By establishing a model to screen out patients with potentially large positional deviations based on their abdominal circumference,personalized solutions can be taken to address setup errors in these patients and ensure treatment efficacy.Methods A total of 81 patients treated at Tianjin People's Hospital from May 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects.The correlations between setup errors in the lateral,longitudinal,and vertical directions and abdominal circumference were analyzed.Subsequently,linear regression was performed for the direction with a significant correlation to abdominal circumference to establish a linear regression model.Finally,the 81 patients were divided into a normal setup group and an abnormal setup group with 0.7 cm as the critical value.A receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,and the maximum Youden index was calculated to determine the optimal cutoff value for identifying patients prone to abnormal setup.Results The correlation analysis of abdominal circumference and setup errors in various directions showed that the correlation coefficient between abdominal circumference and longitudinal direction positioning error was 0.406 2,and the correlation was statistically significant and positively correlated.The correlation coefficients for abdominal circumference and the lateral as well as longitudinal directions were-0.117 5 and-0.067 47,respectively,with P values greater than 0.05,indicating no statistical significance.A linear regression model was established for abdominal circumference and longitudinal direction,and the results showed an R2of 0.165,with a regression coefficient B of 0.008(t=3.951,P<0.01),indicating that the model was well constructed.ROC curve analysis showed an area under the curve of 0.715,with a 95%confidence interval of 0.57-0.86 and a maximum Youden index of 0.478.The corresponding optimal cutoff value was determined to be at 87 cm,with sensitivity at 0.875 and specificity at 0.603.Conclusion The abdominal circumference is significant to diagnose whether the longitudinal setup error is abnormal.Patients with an abdominal circumference greater than 87 cm are more likely to experience abnormal positioning during radiotherapy,which is reflected in the longitudinal setup errors being the largest.It is recommended to provide individualized target area margins for patients with an abdominal circumference greater than 87 cm,or perform daily cone-beam computed tomography to correct setup errors,thereby ensuring target coverage and treatment efficacy.
