| Objective: To analyze the effect of shoulder trigger point extracorporeal shock wave combined with rehabilitation training in the treatment of rotator cuff injury. Methods: A total of 80 patients with postoperative rotator cuff injury treated in our hospital (from Feb. 2020 to Sep. 2021) were selected and divided into control group (n=40) and observation group (n=40) by a random number table method. The control group received rehabilitation training, and the observation group received shoulder trigger point extracorporeal shock wave combined with rehabilitation training. The Constant-Murley Shoulder Scale (CMS), the University of California Shoulder Score (UCLASS) score, range of motion (ROM), pain status (VAS) and patients’ satisfaction were compared. Results: The CMS and UCLASS scores of both groups showed an upward trend after treatment, and the CMS scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of pain, function, shoulder joint flexion angle, and satisfaction in UCLASS were significantly higher in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the ROM scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The VAS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate and treatment excellence rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: For patients with rotator cuff injury, the use of shoulder trigger point extracorporeal shock wave combined with rehabilitation training has a significant effect, which can significantly improve the shoulder joint function of patients, relieve pain, and have high patient’s satisfaction. |
