摘要
Approximately 84% of all stroke patients with hemiplegia will experience shoulder injury and pain. The importance of maintaining proper posture while positioning and transferring a stroke patient is key to decreasing risk for shoulder injury. Shoulder subluxation injury post-stroke is a consequence of sustained hemiplegia and spasticity. Current research evidence suggests that using therapies such as gentle range of motion and functional electrical stimulation may reduce and prevent shoulder subluxation and hemiplegic shoulder pain. However, physiotherapists are currently the only professionals who can implement such therapies. Considering that stroke care provided by neuroscience nurses includes transferring, positioning and assisting in activities of daily living, it is clear that nurses are an important part of the therapy process. Therefore, the question is: What is the role of the neuroscience nurse in the reduction and prevention of shoulder pain post-stroke? The purposes of this paper are to i) discuss the causes of shoulder subluxation and related pain post-stroke, ii) review current best practice in prevention and treatment of shoulder subluxation, and iii) explore ways in which the acute neuroscience nurse can prevent or reduce shoulder subluxation in the hemiplegic stroke patient.
