Effect of Robotic Assisted Gait Training on functional and psychological improvement in patients with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract

Background: Patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) suffer pain and disability and present enormous health and financial challenges to the NHS. There is limited evidence for many of the commonly used physiotherapy treatment interventions. Research suggests deprivation, age, gender and attendance are possible predictors of poor treatment outcome in common MSK conditions. The present author set up and ran a physiotherapy led group based SIS class to improve generic health outcomes and reduce shoulder pain and disability.
