Stroke is one of the common case of physical disability . The common complication after stroke is pain and dysfunction of shoulder of paralyzed arm. Shoulder pain affects from 16% to 72% of patients after a cerebrovascular accident. Hemiplegic shoulder pain causes considerable distress and reduction in activity and can markedly hinder rehabilitation. So, shoulder pain management in stroke patient is used in the field of rehabilitation to improve patient’s functional abilities .The ideal management of hemiplegic shoulder pain is prevention. Shoulder taping may be used to prevent shoulder pain. In acute case of hemiplegia , modified wheelchair arm rest is useful for shoulder pain reduction. If shoulder pain persist then treatment should include TENS, IFC, LASER, KINESIOLOGICAL TAPING and INTRAMUSCULAR ELECTRICLE STIMULATION. We have reviewed the available literature on hemiplegic shoulder pain to explore the best management strategies.
