The Effect of Exercise Therapy in Painful Shoulder Disorders

October 13, 2020 updated by: gizem ergezen, Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

The Effect of Exercise Therapy on Balance and Pain in Painful Shoulder Disorders

20 adults who applied to the orthopedic clinic with shoulder pain, did not require surgical intervention, were referred to the physiotherapy clinic for treatment; will be evaluated in terms of balance, pain and joint range of motion and then included in the exercise program. 20 adults without pain will be evaluated as the control group and the results will be compared within and between groups. Our hypothesis is that the balance will improve and pain will decrease in individuals after exercise.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

20 adults who applied to the orthopedic clinic with shoulder pain, did not require surgical intervention, were referred to the physiotherapy clinic for treatment; will be evaluated in terms of balance, pain and joint range of motion and then included in the exercise program. 20 adults without pain will be evaluated as the control group and the results will be compared within and between groups. Exercises will be applied 3 days a week for 4 weeks, 45-55 minutes by a physiotherapist within the framework of shoulder rehabilitation. In addition, balance exercises will not be given. Balance measurements will be made by the Biodex Balance System, which provides objective data.
