ABSTRACT
Aim:
The aim: to compare the effectiveness of end-range mobilization and therapeutic exercises, used in combination with ischemic compression, on disability and pain indicators among patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint and thoracic myofascial pain syndrome.
Material and methods:
Materials and methods. The study involved 68 patients. Goniometry of the shoulder joint, assessment of pain in myofascial trigger points, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index questionnaire were used before and after physical therapy. The duration of physical therapy comprised 3 weeks. Physical therapy of the first group of patients consisted of end-range mobilization and ischemic compression. Patients of the second group performed therapeutic exercises and ischemic compression.
Results:
Results. Both groups demonstrated positive dynamics of shoulder joint mobility, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and pain in trigger points. However, the final results of the studied indicators were better in the first group of patients.
Conclusions:
Conclusions. Physical therapy based on the combination of end-range mobilization and ischemic compression had a more positive impact on disability and pain indicators for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint and myofascial pain syndrome as compared to the combination of therapeutic exercises and ischemic compression.
