The use of local cryotherapy and PNF method in the procedure that improves the functioning of patients with subacromial impingement syndrome
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Considering the serious nature of complications pertaining to the trauma of the glenohumeral joint, the priority is to address the underlying cause as well as symptoms. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of localized cryotherapy and the PNF method on the mobility of the glenohumeral joint, in patients presenting with subacromial impingement syndrome. Each group (test and control) consisted of 18 patients. Patients in the test group were subjected to treatment of local cryotherapy and PNF therapy in the treatment of the shoulder girdle for fifteen days whilst the control group were treated with local cryotherapy procedures for the duration. There is little doubt that local cryotherapy is and effective treatment for various kinds of dysfunction however when combined with other treatment methods (such as PNF) a better outcome is achieved.
