Musculoskeletal Ultrasonographic Assessment for the Soft Tissue Injury of Ipsilateral Shoulder of Head and Neck Cancer Patient Following Selective Neck Dissection
In Brief
An observational study evaluating ultrasonography and elastography for Head and Neck Cancer. Completed, enrolled 38 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators suppose: 1. SND may cause damage to the soft tissue around shoulder girdle. 2. The soft tissue injury may be related with the order of severity of wing scapula and duration after SND. The aims of this study are: 1. To assess the functional disabilities of shoulder and upper extremity in different time period after SND. 2. To evaluate the soft tissue lesion of shoulder with soft tissue ultrasonography to prove our hypothesis. This study is a two years, prospective, cross-section study. The investigators will enroll 80 HNC post SND within 3months, \>3- 6months,\> 6months -1 year, more than 1 year as four different groups, 20 patient in each group.
