Filter by:In the treatment of adhesive capsulitis, conservative treatment usually gives successful results, and steroid injection is an effective method that is frequently preferred among conservative treatment modalities. However, many controversial issues have not yet been clarified in the literature, such as the location of the injection, whether into the glenohumeral joint or around the coracohumeral ligament where the most radiological findings are detected.
Although the middle gluteal muscle is an important stabilizer of the pelvis, no relationship has yet been described between the Great Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) and the resistance of the core muscles. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a core resistance program on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 36 postmenopausal women with clinical diagnosis of GTPS, who will be randomized into 2 groups: group 1 (hip exercises) and group 2 (hip + core exercises). The treatment protocol will be performed twice a week, for 4 weeks. The same evaluation will be done in 3 moments (in the pre-treatment period, after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the end of treatment, as a follow up), and will consist of the following analyzes: quality of life (Hip Outcome Score - HOS questionnaire), GTPS severity (VISA-G questionnaire), muscle activation (electromyography - EMG), dynamic postural control (force platform - CoP), muscle strength (load cell), core resistance (supine bridge test and prone bridge test) and pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale). Expected results: It is intended to establish the effect of a resistance program of core muscles on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with SDGT.
Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation, a non-invasive method, will be used in the study. Studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation combined with a large vagal nerve network can have a neuromodulatory effect that will activate some natural protective pathways to improve health. Clinically, vagus nerve stimulation is FDA-approved for epilepsy, treatment-resistant depression, and morbid obesity. Since OSS dysfunction is also involved in the etiology of DO and there is no study on the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation in this disease, this study is planned to reveal the effectiveness of auricular vagus nerve stimulation and home exercise program in DO patients.
Gluteal tendinopathy, a degenerative condition of the gluteal tendons, is a common cause of lateral hip pain. It is three times more common in women, affecting up to 25% of those aged over 40 years. Research evidence supporting the most effective interventions remains limited. A 2018 landmark three-arm RCT (LEAP trial) in Australia compared EDucation on load management plus eXercise (EDX) against corticosteroid injection (CSI), and a 'wait-and see' control on pain and global improvement in 205 individuals with gluteal tendinopathy (Mellor et al, 2016; 2018). Results showed superior and significant positive effects in the EDX group, compared with CSI and wait-and-see groups at 8 weeks and 1 year. A total of 14 EDX sessions was provided over 8 weeks in LEAP, but in the public healthcare system in Ireland, typically 5-6 physiotherapy treatments are provided. Therefore, whilst the LEAP trial demonstrated positive effects for EDX, implementation into clinical practice in Ireland is questionable as 6 or less treatment sessions are typically provided in public and private settings in Ireland (French et al, 2020). This two-arm feasibility RCT aims to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a future RCT of a reduced dose (6 sessions) of a recently proven efficacious physiotherapy treatment of EDucation plus eXercise (EDX-Ireland) to usual care for gluteal tendinopathy in an Irish setting. A Study Within A Trial will evaluate if exercise adherence is improved with use of a smartphone app compared with paper-based diaries.
Objective: To determine whether ultrasound-guided Intra-Articular Hypertonic Dextrose and hydrodilatation improves pain and function in patients with frozen shoulder(FS)
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of activity versus structural oriented treatment approach on pain, range of motion, and function in diabetic patients with frozen shoulder.
Study 1 - Adhesive Capsulitis Study - 90 patients The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of patients with symptoms of adhesive capsulitis, primary and secondary, between three groups: I) Physical Therapy alone; II) ERMI Shoulder Flexionater® alone; III) PT + Device. Study 2 - Postoperative Shoulder Stiffness Study - 90 patients The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of patients with post-operative stiffness indicative of secondary adhesive capsulitis between three groups: I) Physical Therapy alone; II) ERMI Shoulder Flexionater® alone; III) PT + Device. Study 3 - Stiffness after MUA Study - enroll all eligible patients (goal of at least 15) The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of patients who have undergone manipulation under anesthesia or lysis of adhesions between three groups: I) Physical Therapy alone; II) ERMI Shoulder Flexionater® alone; III) PT + Device.
Adhesive capsulitis can be defined as insidious and progressive loss of both active and passive shoulder mobility in the glenohumeral joint presumably due to capsular contracture. It is associated with inflammation and stiffness of the capsule surrounding the glenohumeral joint, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain. The objective of this study is to compare the effects of spencer technique and gongs mobilization on pain, range of motion, disability, and scapular symmetry in patients with phase II adhesive capsulitis. This study will be a Randomized Clinical trial involving 48 patients both males and females aged 40 to 60 years clinically diagnosed cases of phase II adhesive capsulitis. Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups using consecutive sampling technique. Group A will be treated with conventional treatment and spencer technique whereas Group B will be treated with conventional treatment and gongs mobilization. Numeric Pain Rating Scale will be used to measure pain of patients. Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score will be used to ask some questions related to patient's symptoms and disability. Lateral scapular slide test will be used to measure scapular symmetry and universal goniometer will be used to measure range of motion of shoulder joint. Each session will be repeated for 40 minutes thrice a week. All participants of the study will fill the Numeric Pain Rating Scale and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score on day 1 as pretreatment values and at the end of 4th week as post treatment values respectively. The collected data will be analyzed on SPSS - 25. Key words: Adhesive, scapula, mobilizations, glenohumeral joint, pain
Adhesive Capsulitis also known as frozen shoulder is a self-limiting disorder of the shoulder joint characterized by pain, loss of joint ROM and functional limitation which usually resolves in 12-15 months. I Different physical therapy techniques and modalities have been used in reducing pain and increasing ROM in frozen shoulder. It is a randomized clinical trial and random sampling was used with an inclusion criterion of confirmed adhesive capsulitis patients. This study aims to provide a comparative analysis of two mobilizations: Gongs and Scapular mobilization in terms of effects on pain, range of motion and functional status. Patients having acute inflammation, fracture, dislocation or any surgery around the shoulder joint were excluded from the study. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups with group A receiving Gongs mobilization and group B receiving scapular mobilization in addition to Continuous passive motion which was given as a baseline therapy to both the groups. Total duration of the study was 6 months. Numeric pain rating scale, universal goniometry and Shoulder pain and disability index were used to measure the pain, range of motion and functionality respectively at the start and end of study. After collecting data from defined study setting, data was entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it was decided either parametric or non-parametric test to be used.
This randomized control trial aims to compare the effect of myofascial release of subscapularis along with shoulder mobilization VS mobilization alone among patients with adhesive capsulitis. The study will be conducted at physiotherapy outpatient department (OPD) of Sindh Institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation, and Dow University Ojha Campus, Karachi. According to study criteria, 70 patients with sub-acute adhesive capsulitis will be selected through a non-randomized purposive sampling technique by a consultant physician. After taking informed consent, participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups through the sealed envelope method. Both the groups will receive conventional treatment while Group 1 will be given an additional treatment of myofascial release of subscapularis through ischemic compression technique. Total 6 treatment sessions will be provided and assessment will be done at baseline and end of the 6th session.
