Relationship Between Achilles Tendon Stiffness Using Myoton PRO and Translation Using a Tensile Testing Machine: A Biomechanical Study of a Porcine Model
Kurashina W, Takahashi T, Sasanuma H, Saitsu A, Takeshita K
Cureus . 2023 Dec; 15(11):e49359. PMID: 38146575
Background Achilles tendinopathy is a common ankle disorder in both the general population and athletes. This condition can alter the mechanical characteristics of the Achilles tendon (AT) by decreasing tendon...

Morphological and histological evaluation of the tendon-bone junction in porcine shoulders to create a rotator cuff tear and repair model
Sasanuma H, Takahashi T, Kawai S, Saitsu A, Kurashina W, Iijima Y, et al.
J Orthop Sci . 2023 Nov; 29(6):1521-1527. PMID: 38007298
Background: This study aimed to morphologically and histologically examine whether pig is useful as models for rotator cuff tear (RCT). Methods: The morphology of the scapula and humerus bones was...

Clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of manipulation under brachial plexus block versus physiotherapy for refractory frozen shoulder: a prospective observational study
Saito T, Hamada J, Sasanuma H, Iijima Y, Saitsu A, Minagawa H, et al.
JSES Int . 2023 Nov; 7(6):2410-2419. PMID: 37969535
Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a pathological condition that involves a painful and stiff shoulder joint, most commonly in people aged 40-60 years. Most literature supports treatment with physical therapy...

Relationship between pain and range of motion in frozen shoulder
Kurashina W, Sasanuma H, Iijima Y, Saito T, Saitsu A, Nakama S, et al.
JSES Int . 2023 Sep; 7(5):774-779. PMID: 37719810
Background: A frozen shoulder (FS) is characterized by pain and limited range of motion (ROM). Although physical assessment of ROM is important for diagnosing and staging FS, ROM cannot be...

Evaluation of muscle stiffness in adhesive capsulitis with Myoton PRO
Kurashina W, Iijima Y, Sasanuma H, Saito T, Takeshita K
JSES Int . 2023 Feb; 7(1):25-29. PMID: 36820433
Background: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is characterized by pain and limited range of motion, caused by stiffness of the joint capsule and coracohumeral ligament. On the other hand, there have been...

Reduction of abnormal blood flow in frozen shoulder after shoulder manipulation under ultrasound-guided cervical nerve root block: semiquantitative analysis using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging
Iijima Y, Sugimoto H, Sasanuma H, Saito T, Kurashina W, Kanaya Y, et al.
JSES Int . 2022 May; 6(3):500-505. PMID: 35572431
Background: We previously reported a characteristic dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) change in patients with frozen shoulder (FS) and named this abnormal blood flow pattern the "burning sign". In this...
