简要总结
Disorders of rotator cuff are the most common cause of shoulder pain as it is seen in about 30% of the overall population. A wide range of treatments are available for rotator cuff disease but the overall prognosis is highly variable with 40-50% of patients reporting persistent pain and disability. This highlights the need to deliver effective interventions in the acute stage of rotator cuff tendinopathy. Currently there is a lack of evidence regarding the most appropriate treatment for acute rotator cuff tendinopathy. This condition is caused by tightness or contracture of the arch of the ligament and bone that is the CA arch which covers the structures below are rotator cuff tendons and subacromial bursae. Without overhead arm activity, the space between the acromion bone and the humerus undergoes slow contracture resulting in degenerative changes. The hanging exercise using the force of gravity will provide the force & stretching that will reverse the process that led to deformity and inertia of CA arch. To our knowledge, the effect of hanging exercise on shoulder have never been studied.
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of hanging exercise on painfree ROM and acromiohumeral distance in patients with rotator cuff disease.
Methodology: Participants will be randomly allocated to intervention group and control group. Intervention group will receive hanging exercise in addition to conventional physiotherapy for 3 days a week on alternative days for 4 weeks.
