Can Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Be Used to Increase Range of Motion in Frozen Shoulder?

Abstract

The aim of this review was to investigate studies using Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), to determine the effects of IASTM on shoulder mobility in frozen shoulder. Literature search was carried out on 21 March 2022 using PUBMED, Pedro, SCOPUS, Web of Science and Scholar databases. Appropriate clinical studies were identified from the above databases investigating the effects of IASTM on shoulder range of motion (ROM) in frozen shoulder and a narrative review was performed. Despite the very limited data on IASTM, which has just begun to increase in use in frozen shoulder, IASTM seems promising for ROM increase. Further studies with higher quality and larger samples are needed to confirm this view and recommend the appropriate IASTM technique for frozen shoulder.

Donuk Omuzda Eklem Hareket Açıklığını Artırmak İçin Alet Destekli Yumuşak Doku Mobilizasyonu Kullanılabilir mi?

Abstract

Bu derlemenin amacı, donuk omuzda Alet Destekli Yumuşak Doku Mobilizasyonunun (ADYDM) omuz mobilitesi üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek için ADYDM kullanan çalışmaları araştırmaktı. 21 Mart 2022 tarihinde PUBMED, Pedro, SCOPUS, Web of Science ve Scholar veri tabanları kullanılarak literatür taraması yapılmıştır. ADYDM'nin donuk omuzda omuz eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) üzerindeki etkilerini araştıran yukarıdaki veri tabanlarından uygun klinik çalışmalar belirlendi ve incelendi. Son dönemde donuk omuzda kullanımı artmaya başlayan ADYDM ile ilgili çok sınırlı veri olmasına rağmen ADYDM, EHA artışı için umut verici görünmektedir. Bu görüşü doğrulamak ve donuk omuz için uygun ADYDM tekniğini önermek için daha yüksek kalitede ve daha büyük örneklerle daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
