Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to determine the effects of IASTM in combination with exercise in frozen shoulder. Thirty-five patients with phase II frozen shoulder included in this single-blind, randomized study. Patients were divided into two groups. In the first group exercise programme (Group 1) and in the second group IASTM in combination with exercise programme (Group 2) were applied for twelve sessions (two days per week for six week). The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and secondary outcomes were the visual analogue scale (VAS), the range of motion (ROM), The Constant score and Short- Form-36 (SF-36). Outcome measures were performed at baseline, after the 6th session and the 12th session.


Description:

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a popular treatment for myofascial restriction based on the logic developed by James Cyriax. IASTM is applied using specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect on soft tissue (eg scar tissue, myofascial adhesion) to reduce pain, improve joint range of motion and function. IASTM can help improve fibroblast proliferation and promote normal collagen sequencing, however, there is no enough study evaluating the results of IASTM use in patients with frozen shoulders in the literature. This study aimed to determine the effects of IASTM in combination with exercise in the treatment of frozen shoulder. Therefore, it was hypothesized that exercise programme combined with IASTM are more effective in improving pain, range of motion (ROM), and functionality than are the exercise programme alone.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Standard Exercise
Glenohumeral exercises, scapulothoracic exercises, stretching exercises and mobilization exercises were performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist two days per week for six weeks at the clinical setting (Celik and Kaya Mutlu, 2016).
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM treatment was applied to the posterior-anterior-middle deltoid, latissimus dorsi, teres major, teres minor, supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle fibers, superficial and deep fascia. IASTM was applied in parallel and vertical direction to the muscle fibers treated with the instrument at a 45° angle, each technique (SWEEP, BRUSH (straight short steps) techniques) for 20 seconds (Ikeda, Otsuka, Kawanishi, and Kawakami, 2019). It was performed two days per week for six weeks.
Home Exercise
Hme exercise program consisted of glenohumeral exercises, scapulothoracic exercises, stretching exercises and mobilization exercises. It was asked to perform two days per week for six weeks.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Upper extremity function DASH is a 30-item questionnaire that evaluates functionality, pain, emotional and social parameters in the upper extremity. Twenty-one questions evaluate patients' difficulties in daily life activities, 5 questions symptoms, 4 questions social function, work, sleep and self-confidence. For each question, the participant marks the option that suits patients in the 5-point Likert system (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: inability). Score between 0 and 100 were obtained from each section. Baseline

Secondary The severity of pain The severity of pain that people feel on their shoulders at rest, during activity and at night was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The patients were told that "0" number shows "no pain" and "10" number shows "most excruciating pain" on the visual analog scale, and the participant was asked to position the pain feeling in this range by drawing a line.

Secondary Functional level of shoulder The modified constant shoulder score assesses pain, position, daily living activities, ROM and strength. Scoring consists of pain (15 points), daily activities (20 points), active range of motion (AROM) (40 points) and strength (25 points). The total Constant score is classified as excellent (90-100), good (80-89), moderate (70-79) and poor (<70). Turkish validity and reliability study of modified constant score. Baseline

Secondary Range of motion Shoulder flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation ROM were actively and passively measured using a universal goniometer while the participant was in the supine position. All shoulder ROMs were repeated 3 times and the average of the angular values obtained was recorded in degrees. Baseline

Secondary Health-related quality of life In order to evaluate the quality of life, the Short Form-36 (SF-36) was used, which consists of 36 items evaluating 2 main (physical and mental component) and 8 sub-parameters (physical, emotional and social function, physical role, mental health, pain, general health and vitality). The scale evaluating the score of each subgroup between 0-100; 0 indicates "bad health", 100 indicates "good health".
