MAIN INDICATIONS
MD-SHOULDER is a medical device designed to improve shoulder and upper limb movement and to reduce associated pain, counteracting physiological or pathological deterioration of the joint of the shoulder, elbow, and surrounding tissues (joint capsule and bursae).
Scientific evidence shows the efficacy and safety of MD-SHOULDER in cases of:
- Glenohumeral arthrosis
- Acromioclavicular arthrosis
- Sternoclavicular arthrosis
- Calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus
- Acute scapulohumeral periarthritis and subdeltoid bursitis
- Injuries with partial thickening of the rotator cuff
- Painful shoulder in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia
- Subacromial impingement (shoulder conflict syndrome)
- Rotator cuff syndrome
- Scapulohumeral dislocation
- Epicondylitis refractory to other treatments
- Contractures
- Arthritic conditions:
- due to aging
- due to bad posture
- due to concomitant chronic diseases
- due to traumas and injuries
The treatment has proved to be effective also in patients non-responsive to other therapies. It can be combined with other treatments.
