Abstract

Purpose: Localized shoulder pain is one of the most important pathologies of musculoskeletal system. A prevalence study has revealed that it is the third most common pathology among the locomotor system diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the statistical results of the demographic and clinical information regarding patients, who applied to our clinic with shoulder pain. Methods: Information of 68 patients with shoulder pain, who were registered in the first 6 months of 2011 to our Physical medicine and rehabilitation Clinique were examined. Patients' demographic data and information regarding their complaints were obtained (e.g. duration, diagnosis, treatment, and so on.) and statistical analyses were performed on these findings. Results: Totally findings of 42 patients were obtained. The majority of patients were female, who were housewives. A large proportion of complaints were chronic with multiple diagnoses. Almost all patients received combined treatments. Conclusion: Even though our findings are in accordance with the literature, the low sampling size was a significant limitation.

Omuz Ağrılı Hastaların Demografik ve Klinik Sonuçları

Abstract

Amaç: Omuz ağrıları kas-iskelet sistemi patolojileri arasında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Yapılan prevalans çalışmalarında, omuz ağrılarının üçüncü sıklıkla görülen lokomotor sistem patolojisi olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmamızdaki amacımız omuz ağrısı ile başvuran hastaların demografik ve klinik sonuçlarını ortaya koymaktı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon kliniğine, 2011 yılının ilk 6 ayında omuz ağrısı ile başvuran 68 hastanın dosyası incelenerek bilgilerine ulaşılabilen 42 hastanın dosyası dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik bilgileri ve şikayetleri ile ilgili bilgiler alınarak (süre, tanı, tedavi vb.) istatistikleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 42 hastanın sonuçlarına ulaşılabildi. Hastaların büyük kısmı bayandı ve ev hanımıydılar. Şikayetleri büyük bir oranda kronikleşmişti ve çoklu tanıları vardı. Hemen hemen hepsinde kombine tedaviler uygulanmıştı. Sonuç: Bulunan sonuçlar literatür ile uyumlu olmakla beraber çalışmaya dahil edilen hasta sayısının az olması önemli bir limitasyondu.
