AOCPMR 2022 Mid-Year Meeting
OVERVIEW:
Shoulder pain is a prevalent issue with approximately 1% of adults aged over 45 years old seeking medical attention for new shoulder pain annually, as reported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Additionally, back pain ranks among the most common reasons for doctor visits and missed workdays, as highlighted by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, underscoring the importance of practitioners mastering effective treatment techniques to aid patients in resuming normal activities promptly. The National Institutes of Health also emphasize the potential improvement in function for stroke survivors through better control of spastic limbs, with intrathecal baclofen therapy offering a means to effectively reduce severe, diffuse spasticity without adverse effects on arousal and cognition.
