Brief Session Description : Hemiplegic shoulder pain is a common issue affecting patients with various neurological conditions including stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injury. We will provide a comprehensive review of the relevant anatomy and potential underlying neurologic and musculoskeletal pathology that should be considered when treating hemiplegic shoulder pain in addition to corresponding interventions. We will also discuss the potential value of peripheral nerve stimulation and cryoneurolysis as novel interventions. We will highlight the strength of a collaborative approach to managing hemiplegic shoulder pain.
