Suprascapular neuropathy related to the use of crutches
Authors:D Shabas  M Scheiber
Abstract:A 41-year-old man with shoulder pain was found to have a suprascapular neuropathy. The nerve injury was believed to be secondary to improper crutch usage. The pathophysiology of this unusual cause of suprascapular neuropathy involves injury to the nerve due to exaggerated movements around the shoulder joint. Suprascapular entrapment neuropathy is another potential hazard of improper crutch usage. Therefore, properly fitted crutches and adequate crutch training are essential for the prevention of additional disability.
