Effects of Cervicothoracic Mobilization in Patients With Supraspinatus Tendinitis
Effects of Cervicothoracic Mobilization on Shoulder Pain, Range of Motion, and Disability in Patients With Supraspinatus Tendinitis
This study aims to evaluate the effects of cervicothoracic junction mobilization on pain, shoulder range of motion (ROM), and disability in patients with supraspinatus tendinitis. A randomized controlled trial will include 62 participants divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive cervicothoracic mobilization alongside conventional physiotherapy, while the control group will receive conventional physiotherapy only. Outcomes will be assessed using NPRS, a goniometer, and SPADI. Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS, with results reported after data collection and analysis.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Supraspinatus tendinitis is a frequent cause of shoulder pain and functional impairment and may be influenced by dysfunction in the cervicothoracic region. Mobilization of the cervicothoracic junction has been suggested to improve shoulder symptoms by enhancing regional mobility and neuromuscular control; however, evidence in patients with supraspinatus tendinitis remains limited. This study will evaluate the effects of cervicothoracic junction mobilization on shoulder pain, range of motion (ROM), and disability in patients with supraspinatus tendinitis. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 62 participants diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinitis, recruited via convenience sampling after written informed consent. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups (31each) using a computer-generated sequence by a blinded assistant, concealed in opaque envelopes. Group A (Experimental) will receive cervicothoracic mobilization (C6T4) using Maitland's Grade III-IV central PA and transverse oscillatory techniques, alongside conventional physiotherapy. Group B (Control) will receive conventional physiotherapy only, including moist heat (10 min), Codman's pendulum, stretching, scapular setting, and open-chain TheraBand resistance exercises. Outcomes-pain (NPRS), shoulder range of motion (goniometer), and disability (SPADI)-will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Data will be analyzed using an independent t-test in IBM SPSS, with significance set at p < 0.05. Will be given after Data Collection.

Experimenteel: Cervicothoracic Junction Mobilization
This group will receive Maitland-based rhythmic oscillatory mobilizations, including central posterior-anterior and transverse techniques applied to the cervicothoracic region (C6-T4). |
Participants will receive Maitland-based rhythmic oscillatory mobilizations, including central posterior-anterior and transverse techniques applied to the cervicothoracic region (C6-T4), on every alternate day in addition to the same physiotherapy program provided to the control group over six weeks. |
|
Actieve vergelijker: Traditional physiotherapy
A standard physical therapy protocol is given to the participants in this group |
Cryotherapy for 10 minutes for the first 2 days. Codman exercises: 10 repetitions of each movement, 3 days/week, a strengthening protocol for the rotator cuff muscles and scapula. |

Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Tijdsspanne: 4rth week
|
It is a scale to measure pain, where 0 indicates no pain, and 10 indicates the worst pain possible. |

Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI)
Tijdsspanne: 4rth week
|
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-reported questionnaire used to assess shoulder pain and disability in daily activities. It consists of 13 items divided into two subscales: pain (5 items) and disability (8 items), with higher scores indicating greater pain and functional limitation. |
