About

The study aimed to investigate the effect of breathing exercises in addition to conventional treatment on pain, normal joint movement and quality of life in patients with frozen shoulder.

A simple random number table will randomly divide participants into two groups. The study group (20 participants) will be given 15 sessions of respiratory exercises in addition to the 15 sessions of physiotherapy provided routinely for treatment. The control group (20 participants) will receive 15 sessions of physiotherapy services in addition to the routine 15 sessions of the physiotherapy department.

Full description

After completing the demographic information form, a visual analog scale will be used for pain intensity, a Baseline digital goniometer will be used to measure the normal joint range of the shoulder girdle, and a Short form SF-36 will be used for quality of life. All participants will be evaluated before and after 15 sessions. The same assessments will be performed in both groups. The evaluations are expected to last 40 minutes in total.

The study group (20 participants) will be given 15 sessions of respiratory exercises in addition to the 15 sessions of physiotherapy provided routinely for treatment. The control group (20 participants) will receive 15 sessions of physiotherapy services in addition to the routine 15 sessions of the physiotherapy department.
