Abstract
Upper limb function exercises were performed for subjects who presented with shoulder joint pain in the paralyzed upper limb after stroke according to the shoulder joint pain and psychological condition. In particular, in the Transfer Package, we requested that the degree of pain caused by the activity of the paralyzed hand and the feeling of use be recorded, and provided guidance including how to deal with the pain and environmental adjustment. As a result, the pain in the shoulder on the paralyzed side was reduced, and the frequency of use of the paralyzed hand in daily life increased. The Transfer Package appears useful among patients with upper limb paralysis with shoulder joint pain.
