In this book, Professor Filip Struyf explores the epidemiology of shoulder pain and provides a concise explanation of shoulder anatomy, helping healthcare providers understand how this complex joint functions. He discusses various approaches to problem-solving in shoulder pain and offers an overview of questionnaires, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) used to assess pain, function, and the psychosocial experience of patients.
The book also addresses important topics such as screening for red flags and the initial contact with the patient. It provides insights into effective communication strategies and teaches how to build a good relationship with individuals suffering from shoulder pain.
Readers will immerse themselves in the clinical assessment of patients with shoulder complaints, including visual inspection, palpation, and comprehensive movement examinations. The book covers various typical shoulder conditions, such as rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, biceps tendon and labral disorders, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, glenohumeral instability, neurological shoulder pain, and much more. Additionally, it offers insights into the role of imaging in diagnosing various shoulder conditions.
In summary, this is an essential reference for healthcare professionals interested in shoulder pain.
