ANALYSIS OF MOVEMENT OF THE SHOULDER BY PHOTOGRAMMETRY SYNDROME IN THE IMPACT OF THE SHOULDER: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Introduction: The aims was to examine the range of motion of the shoulder with shoulder impingement syndrome, computed by photogrammetry. Methods: A female individual with 50 years of age selected randomly, a reduction of strength and presence of pain in the muscles of the right shoulder, grade 3. For analysis of shoulder movements was used in a camera image capture, in the frontal, side and rear, making the active movements of abduction and adduction, flexion and extension, internal and external rotation of the shoulder. The images were scanned by the software program SAPO, thus getting the precise measurements of the angles of the shoulder allows the analysis of results. The analysis was performed before and after physiotherapy treatment (electro-thermotherapy, exercise and manual therapy), at the Physiotherapy Unioeste three times per week, totaling 36 visits lasting 45 minutes each visit. Results: the analysis of the amplitude of all movements of the right shoulder and left consecutively we can see reduction: bending: -7.2% and -9.8%; extension: -9.1% and - 11.3%; abduction: -8.4% and -9.8%, internal rotation: -6.1% and -8.1% and external rotation: -6.0% and -9.8%. Conclusion: The analysis of motion of joints in the shoulders of this sample, the bifotogrametria, has observed that there was a reduction in range of motion, both on the right shoulder and left shoulder and that the proposed physical therapy did not produce satisfactory clinical results.
