THE EFFECTS OF SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION APPLIED TO THE SUBSCAPULARIS MUSCLE ON PAIN AND FUNCTIONALITY IN SHOULDER DYSFUNCTIONS

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to appreciate the soft tissue mobilization applied on the subscapularis intended to increase shoulder range of motion, function and decrease the pain will produce improvement on shoulder pathology. Methods: Patients with 48 shoulder pain and limitation were included in the study. They were divided into soft tissue mobilization (STM) group and conventional physiotherapy programme (CPP) group randomly. All patients got treatment at the clinic, including 15 sessions of 25 minutes. The first group received conventional physiotherapy treatment. The second group received soft tissue mobilization. Pain was evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), shoulder joint movements were evaluated with goniometer, overhead reach test, functionality was evaluated with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. The cases were evaluated before, immediately after and 3 weeks after the end of treatment. Results: There were statistically significant differences in pain and range of motion results among the groups (p˂0.05). Effect sizes were large for STM group in VAS, external rotation range of motion, over head reach test parameters. However, STM group’s effect size was lower than CPP group in flexion range of motion. Conclusion: Soft tissue mobilization was found to be more effective on pain, range of motion, functionality than classical shoulder rehabilitation.
