Hemiplegic shoulder pain, common in stroke patients, often arises from muscle weakness, imbalance, or joint and nerve issues. Previous case reports in literature suggest that pectoralis minor syndrome may play a significant role in this pain. In current study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the role of the pectoralis minor muscle in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain and to reveal the contribution of pectoralis minor syndrome to hemiplegic shoulder pain. Additionally, this study may provide fundamental information to improve clinical practice in determining rehabilitation and treatment strategies, contribute to the development of new approaches in managing hemiplegic shoulder pain, and assist in optimizing rehabilitation programs.
