The effects of Active Release Technique and exercise therapy on pain and function in nonprofessional adult athletes with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy
Design
A randomize trial with a control group, a single blind strain on 30 patients was used for randomization using the block method
Settings and conduct
invatation-Match the bags with the study criteria-Providing explanations and receiving consent from the cases-Referring the cases to an orthopedic specialist and receiving a written confirmation of the case's damage Our study in cases-Randomization of cases into two intervention and control groups-Evaluation of range of motion of flexion, abduction, external rotation of the shoulder with an inclinometer, evaluation of the strength of the supraspinatus muscle with a dynamometer, evaluation of the pressure pain threshold of the muscles of the supraspinatus, middle deltoid, and upper trapezius with an algometer, and determining the level of visual pain with the VAS questionnaire by therapist different from the researcher-Starting the treatment with the protocol of the intervention group: performing 12 ART sessions three times a week and simultaneously 12 exercise sessions three times a week.Control group protocol: 12 training sessions three times a week-Re-evaluation
