Abstract
<jats:p>This article presents four clinical observations of patients who underwent 14-day personalized rehabilitation activities. All patients complained of upper extremity weakness and pain on shoulder movement. The first patient received various physical rehabilitation treatments which allowed to improve a range of motion: shoulder flexion angle increased from 100° to 110°, abduction angle from 90° to 100°, and scores for the Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity (FMA-UE) increased from 11 to 14 and for FMA-LE from 15 to 19 points. In the second patient, who received physical rehabilitation combined with kinesio taping and muscle relaxant therapy, pain intensity in the right shoulder joint on VAS reduced from 7 to 5 points; flexion angle increased from 100° to 110°, abduction angle from 80° to 90°; and scores for FMA-UE increased from 7 to 8 and for FMA-LE from 2 to 27. In the third patient, physical rehabilitation care combined with botulinum toxin therapy resulted in a reduction of left shoulder joint pain on the VAS from 8–9 to 4 points, an increase in flexion angle from 60° to 90°, abduction angle from 30° to 45°, and an increase in the FMA-LE scores from 8 to 9 points. In the fourth patient, the combination of physical rehabilitation, botulinum toxin injections, and kinesiology taping allowed to achieve a reduction of left shoulder joint pain on the VAS from 8–9 to 4 points, an increase in flexion angle from 60° to 90°, abduction angle from 30° to 45°, and an increase in the FMA-LE scores from 8 to 9 points. All patients accomplished their treatment goals at the end of the rehabilitation course.</jats:p>
