Palestine Ahliya University, Palestine
Purpose:
The aim of this study is to assess influence of
shockwave therapy plus exercise and ultrasound therapy plus
exercises on pain severity and range of motion with frozen
shoulder joint patients.
Patients:
twenty patients with frozen shoulder joint patients,
Illness time ranging between 2-9 months participated in this
study at Palestine Ahliya University. They were randomly
chosen from ortho pedic surgeon assigned into 2 equal
groups. Each group consists of ten patients.
Methods:
Patients were analyzed pre and post treatment
for shoulder pain severity by pain scale (VAS) and range of
motion (ROM) of the shoulder joint by using goniometer.
Group (A) received shock wave therapy, 2000 impulses per
session, an energy flex density of 0.22mJ/mm2, pulse rate
10/sec and frequency 1-15 Hz plus an exercise program.
Group (B) received ultrasound with a frequency of 3MH, and
intensity 1w/cm was applied on the affected shoulder at the
site of pain using ultrasound gel for 5 minute plus the same
exercise program. The two groups received treatment 3 times
per week for 4 weeks.
Results:
(SWT) plus exercises and (UST) plus exercise were
effective in decreasing shoulder joint pain and increase ROM.
Moreover, (SWT) groupwas themost influential in decreasing
pain and exaggerating range of motion of the shoulder joint.
Conclusions:
(SWT) group and (UST) group are beneficial in
decreasing pain and increasing range of motion with frozen
shoulder joint and should emphasis added to the physical
therapy program.
