Overview
Brief Summary
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints that people need treatment for. Typical signs and symptoms include pain during reaching, muscle weakness, and interrupted sleep. The shoulder is one of the most common areas of pain, ranking third among musculoskeletal pains in the general population. There is a lack of information regarding the impact of shoulder-related problems on the general population, and therefore there is a growing interest in identifying adverse factors associated with shoulder problems. In our study, the postural stability and balance status of individuals with shoulder pain complaints will be evaluated and the effects of conventional treatment of shoulder pain on postural instability and balance parameters will be investigated.
Detailed Description
The muscle that is important in lateral flexion of the trunk is the latissimus dorsi. There is a hypothesis that this muscle acts as a force transmitter from the gluteus maximus muscle to the upper extremity via myofascial connections. In the study of Kaur et al., it was reported that the myofascial connection between the hip muscles and the lateral flexors of the trunk increases the serratus anterior muscle activation. Therefore, deterioration in the performance of trunk muscles may affect the activation of the serratus anterior, resulting in decreased scapular upward rotation and posterior tilt, which may contribute to the development of pain and shoulder injury. Decreased core endurance can result in poor transmission of force generated in the lower body to the upper body and may contribute to upper limb incorrect positioning. 40 individuals with shoulder pain symptoms were planned to participate in the study. The individuals included in the study were divided into two groups the treatment group and the control group. A 24-session physiotherapy program will be applied to the patients in the treatment group. Pain, active joint range of motion, balance, and postural stability will be evaluated first week and eighth weeks.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of postural stability from baseline to 8 weeks
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Biodex Balance system will be used to evaluate the postural stability and balance of individuals. In evaluating the Biodex Balance System, the postural stability test of the participants will be assessed on the dynamic platforms. In the fall risk assessment, it will be evaluated with eyes open and eyes closed on the dynamic platform, which increases its mobility from 12th to 6th Levels. During the test, participants will be asked to look at a fixed point at eye level. The test will be repeated 3 times and the average will be taken. A 15-second rest period will be given between each repetition.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change of Pain Level from baseline to 8 weeks(8 weeks)
- Change of shoulder joint range baseline to 8 weeks(8 weeks)
