Prevalence, risk factor and outcome in middle-aged and elderly population affected by hemiplegic shoulder pain: An observational study

Abstract

Hemiplegic shoulder pain has a high prevalence and can last for several months. Multiple risk factors are involved. Moreover, hemiplegic shoulder pain affects the readmission rate of patients. Therefore, we should pay more attention to this problem in our clinical work. The application of various means to relieve shoulder pain will be conducive to the recovery of upper limb motor function and shorten the in-hospital rehabilitation time.
