Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the investigator's study is to compare the efficacy of manual therapy and exercise practices compared to exercise practice in patients with Glenohumeral Arthritis. Thirty volunteer patients will include into the study.
Detailed Description
Patients will randomly divide into two groups. A common exercise program was applied to both groups during 15 sessions. Manual therapy techniques will apply to the manual therapy group in addition to exercise practices. Patients will evaluate in terms of functional status, pain, range of motion, muscle strength and health-related quality before and after 5 weeks of treatment. Also, patient's satisfaction from treatment will evaluate at the 5th week of the treatment. DASH and ASES forms for functional status, VAS for pain, digital goniometer for range of motion, manual muscle test for muscle strength, SF-12 for health-related quality of life, and Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale for patient satisfaction will be used as evaluation criteria.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)
Time Frame: Evaluation will be performed first time at baseline and second time will be performed after 5 weeks rehabilitation program. After treatment "change" will be assessed.
The shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation ROM will be evaluated with digital goniometer while the patient will be in supine position.
Secondary Outcomes
- Manual Muscle Test(Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 5 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- Short Form 12 (SF-12)(Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 5 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 5 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- Global Rating of Change (GRC) Scale(Evaluation will be performed after 5 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- ASES (The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment) Form(Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 5 weeks rehabilitation program.)
- The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) Questionnaire(Evaluation will be performed before treatment and after 5 weeks rehabilitation program.)
