Comparative Study of Manual Therapy plus Shoulder Exercise versus Combined Therapy with Ultrasound in Patients of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Shoulder pain especially subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is commonest among various joint pains. Adjunct to physiotherapy, ultrasound therapy yielding ultrasound waves is recently of interest in palliation of pain in joint and other inflammatory conditions. It was worthwhile to objectively assess role of ultrasound therapy in SIS. Comparative study of outcomes of manual therapy plus ultrasound therapy alone versus combined ultrasound therapy was carried out in diagnosed patients of SIS. Twenty patients in either group duly inducted sequentially and fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria, completed the study. Physiotherapy with manual therapy plus exercise therapy administered daily for 3 weeks significantly reduced pain score but not disability score and range of various movements in the control patient group.The intervention group given ultrasound combination therapy with manual and exercise therapy yielded highly significant reduction in pain and disability scores and improved range of all studied movements. Ultrasound therapy was found to be significantly useful in giving relief in patients of SIS and perhaps relevant to several other joint and muscular conditions.
