About

We hypothesize that focal vibration therapy will reduce pain, increase the mobilization of the glenohumeral joint, and will improve functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Full description

The underlying mechanism of focal vibration therapy in individuals with adhesive capsulitis still remains unclear. Considering the physiological mechanism of focal vibration therapy, the effect of focal vibration therapy on pain, function, and resting muscle tone in patients with adhesive capsulitis will be evaluated. There are no studies examining the effect of focal vibration therapy on shoulder muscle tone in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.

20 participants in 2 patient groups

Experimental Group

Experimental group

Description:

Focal Vibration Group Training with Focal Vibration on the deltoid, trapezius, and biceps muscles with an amplitude of 1.2 mm. Time of training 20-25 min. The configuration of the vibration program will be in an automatic mode of 10 seconds of vibration and 3 seconds of rest to avoid the coupling of the mechanoreceptors. Patients will be treated with FV for three consecutive days: each session consisted of three sessions of 10 minutes each, interspersed with one minute of rest. A vibration frequency of 40 Hz to 100 Hz has been applied, according to the literature. The group also received the Traditional Training.

Device: Focal VibrationTherapy

Control Group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Traditional Training Warm up, grade 1 and 2 mobilization and stretching exercises, strength training, range of motion exercises, and coordination training. The home exercises program is programmed.
