Stroke has a very high incidence of about 2.4% in general adult population and is one of the main causes of disability worldwide. Approximately 90% of stroke survivors have compromised functions including motor, sensory, cognitive and autonomic functions A common sequel of stroke is Post Stroke Shoulder Pain (PSSP) which is often precipitated with movements of the joint. This can hamper the effective utilization of residual function, further training and subsequently lead to disability. It also prolongs rehabilitation of affected limbs and hospital stay thereby adding to the cost of rehabilitation. PSSP can begin as early as 2 weeks post stroke but typically occurs within 2-3 months post-stroke. It has a prevalence of around 35-45% and is understood to be under reported and undertreated. The etiology of shoulder pain in Stroke is multifactorial and most studies have failed to establish a cause-and-effect relationship. The most frequently suspected factors include shoulder subluxation, contractures, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), rotator cuff injury, central pain and spasticity.
