Brief Summary

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

Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints that people need treatment for. Typical signs and symptoms include pain during reaching, muscle weakness, and interrupted sleep. The shoulder is one of the most common areas of pain, ranking third among musculoskeletal pains in the general population. There is a lack of information regarding the impact of shoulder-related problems on the general population, and therefore there is a growing interest in identifying adverse factors associated with shoulder problems. In our study, the postural stability and balance status of individuals with shoulder pain complaints will be evaluated and the effects of conventional treatment of shoulder pain on postural instability and balance parameters will be investigated.

Detailed Description

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

The muscle that is important in lateral flexion of the trunk is the latissimus dorsi. There is a hypothesis that this muscle acts as a force transmitter from the gluteus maximus muscle to the upper extremity via myofascial connections. In the study of Kaur et al., it was reported that the myofascial connection between the hip muscles and the lateral flexors of the trunk increases the serratus anterior muscle activation. Therefore, deterioration in the performance of trunk muscles may affect the activation of the serratus anterior, resulting in decreased scapular upward rotation and posterior tilt, which may contribute to the development of pain and shoulder injury. Decreased core endurance can result in poor transmission of force generated in the lower body to the upper body and may contribute to upper limb incorrect positioning. 40 individuals with shoulder pain symptoms were planned to participate in the study. The individuals included in the study were divided into two groups the treatment group and the control group. A 24-session physiotherapy program will be applied to the patients in the treatment group. Pain, active joint range of motion, balance, and postural stability will be evaluated first week and eighth weeks.

Treatment Group

A 24-session physiotherapy program will be applied to the patients in the treatment group.

The conventional physiotherapy program of the patients in the treatment group; will consist of 20 minutes of the hot pack, 20 minutes of conventional TENS (COMPEX Rehab 400), 1 MHz frequency, 1.5 W/cm² intensity ultrasound (Chattanooga Intelect Ultrasound) on the shoulder joint for 5 minutes. In the exercise program; A combined exercise program including active assistive and active range of motion exercises, stretching exercises for the shoulder muscles at the pain limit and posture exercises will be applied. As the severity of pain decreases, strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff and scapulary muscles will be given.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control Group

Pain, Active range of motion, balance, and postural stability will be assessed in the first week .
