ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of weight relief raise on acromiohumeral distance in patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury. Methods:The acromiohumeral distance of 20 patients with thoracolumbar spinal cord injury was measured by ultrasonic diagnostic system, respectively in the resting position and the supporting decompression position. Results:The acromiohumeral distance was significantly larger in the resting position than in the supporting decompression position (t = 6.933, P < 0.001). Conclusion:Support could reduce the subacromial space in patients with spinal cord injury and become a potential factor for subacromial tissue injury.
