前言：超声(US)已被用于改善关节活动度，但其治疗效果尚无共识。本研究以单病例设计为基础，探讨超声结合运动及松动术对患者活动范围的影响。方法：患者为40岁男性，右侧肱骨大结节骨折，术后肩关节屈曲活动度受限。除了标准治疗(运动和动员)外，US作为额外的干预措施。结果：标准治疗加超声治疗组肩关节屈曲活动度较单纯标准治疗组明显增加(P<；0.001)。效果显著(tau-U=0.758)。结论：US的使用改善了肩关节屈曲时的活动范围。在单病例设计中，Tau-U分析可用于指示干预的效果。
Introduction: Ultrasound (US) has been used to improve range of motion; however, there is no consensus on its therapeutic effects. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of US in combination with exercise and mobilization on range of motion based on a single-case design.Methods: The patient was a 40-year-old man who had a fracture of the greater tuberosity of the right humerus and presented with limited shoulder range of motion in flexion postoperatively. In addition to standard treatment (exercise and mobilization), US was performed as an additional intervention. The therapeutic effect of US was examined using Tau-U.Results: The range of motion of the shoulder flexion significantly increased in the period when standard treatment and US were combined compared to that in the period when only standard treatment was administered (p< 0.001). The effect size was high (tau-U= 0.758).Conclusion: The use of US improved shoulder range of motion during flexion. The Tau-U analysis can be useful to indicate the effect of intervention in a single-case design.
