Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischemic compression and IASTM techniques on pain, EHA, functionality, anxiety and depression in patients with the diagnosis of RM tear and presence of ATN. In addition, ischemic compression and EDYDM methods were aimed to compare and to reveal which application would be more useful.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study participants were randomly divided into two groups. While ischemic compression was applied to one group for the determined active trigger points, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) was applied to the other group for active trigger points. In addition to the treatment, both groups were subjected to a joint rehabilitation program.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group 1

Ischemic compression and rehabilitation program applied to the group 1

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

ischemic compression

Intervention Type OTHER

ATNs detected in a total of 13 muscles around the shoulder were applied constant pressure at the level of pain tolerated with the thumb (discomfort severity level 7 to 8 out of 10) and for 90 seconds. This method was applied twice a week for 6 weeks.

Rehabilitation Program

Intervention Type OTHER

A rehabilitation program consisting of exercises and manual therapy used in the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tear for both groups was applied twice a week for 6 weeks.

Group 2

IASTM and rehabilitation program applied to the group 2

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

IASTM

Intervention Type OTHER

In order to apply EDYDM in the treatment of ATN, titanium plated stainless steel was divided into two parts, front and back, with two tools. The sweep was applied to the anterior muscle fibers at an angle of 45 ° for 40 seconds.

For each TN, continuous pressure was applied with swivel movement at tolerable pain level (discomfort severity level 7 to 8 out of 10) for 1 minute. The back group muscles were applied in the same way.

Rehabilitation Program

Intervention Type OTHER

A rehabilitation program consisting of exercises and manual therapy used in the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tear for both groups was applied twice a week for 6 weeks.
