Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 12-week ViFive program, a vision-based artificial intelligent digital care plan for chronic knee pain. ViFive digital care plan is delivered by a physical therapy team consisting of physical therapists and a personal coach. We aim to understand the safety and efficacy of this vision artificial intelligent based home exercise program.
This study will compare between the effect of three treatment modalities of shoulder adhesive capsulitis to hilight the best technique to improve pain and range of motion outcome measures .
Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is a condition of uncertain etiology characterized by pain and progressive loss of both active and passive shoulder motion. Shoulder pain and stiffness are accompanied by disability. It is thought that the incidence is 3 to 5% in the general population. Laser therapy is widely used for treating different musculoskeletal diseases, because of its ability to reduce pain and improve the physical function. Also, MWM when used for shoulders with limited range of motion because of pain had shown improvement in range of motion and pressure pain threshold. Previous studies have investigated the efficacy of combining different manual technique with LLLT for treating pain in some body parts. However, up till now the combined effect of MWM with LLLT for treatment of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis have not been investigated. So, the present randomized controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of adding mulligan mobilization with movement to low level laser therapy in treatment of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.
This study evaluates the addition of dry needling to exercise as part of physical therapy for the treatment of shoulder adhesive capsulitis. There will be two groups. One will receive actual dry needling to the clinically determined shoulder / parascapular trigger points. The other group will receive a sham needle treatment to the clinically determined areas.
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder (FS), is a condition characterized by the functional restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion with unremarkable glenohumeral joint radiographs findings. Shoulder pain almost exists during the whole course of frozen shoulder. Pain induces muscle spasm and causes pain-spasm-pain cycle resulting in limited range of motion, changed muscle recruitment pattern and finally influences neuromuscular control. Commonly used conservative interventions for FS patients include joint mobilization, corticosteroid injection, exercise, modality and soft tissue mobilization. Despite joint mobilization is the most commonly used manual therapy in patients with FS, the evidence level is weak and the efficacy is not superior to other conservative treatments. Soft tissue mobilization is widely used in lots of musculoskeletal conditions. The effects of soft tissue mobilization include breaking the adhesion tissue and improving range of motion, muscle strength and motor control. However, few studies have investigated the effect of soft tissue mobilization in patients with frozen shoulder. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effect of soft tissue biased manual therapy and conventional physical therapy in patients with primary FS.
This study evaluates the addition of translational manipulation under interscalene block, to a course of orthopaedic manual physical therapy for treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Half the patients will receive a translational manipulation under interscalene block, plus 6 sessions of orthopaedic manual physical therapy. The other half will receive 7 sessions of physical therapy. The investigators hypothesize that the translational manipulation under interscalene block will provide additional benefit beyond the effect of in-clinic orthopaedic manual physical therapy alone.
This is a study on the treatment of frozen shoulder with injection of cortisone into the shoulder joint. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether injection with stretching of the shoulder capsule or plain injection is more effective than no specific treatment.
