Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(eswt) applied in addition to conventional physical therapy on pain, mobility, functional ability, sleep quality and activities of daily living in patients with adhesive capsulitis compared to low-level laser therapy and to investigate whether they are superior to the control group.

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis

Interventions

OTHER

Low-intensity ESWT Group

ESWT; With the MODUS ESWT system, the patient's shoulder will be in 80° passive abduction, the elbow will be in 90° flexion, and the forearm will be applied to 2 separate parts of the shoulder. The first application will be applied from front to back in the anterior shoulder joint and the upper limit of the treatment will be approximately 1 finger lateral to the coracoid process, the second application will be applied from the lateral scapula to the posterior shoulder joint (0.06 mJ/mm2, 1500 impulses, 1.5 bar).( Modus ESWT® RadialShockwaveTherapy)

OTHER

Low-intensity laser Group

The laser will be made parallel to the joint line with the patient's arm, the arm will be in internal rotation at the posterior of the shoulder and the arm will be in external rotation at the anterior of the shoulder. The wavelength of 850 nm will be applied for 5 minutes in total 30 Joules.

OTHER

Conventional Control Group

Exercises will be started with passive ROM exercises and passive stretching exercises for the flexor, abductor, internal and external rotator muscle groups until the level of pain tolerance in the supine position. In the second week, the program will be continued with active ROM and stretching exercises. In the third week, isometric strengthening exercises for flexor, abductor, internal and external rotator muscle groups will be given along with stretching exercises. Exercises will be performed 5 days a week, 60 minutes a day, accompanied by a physiotherapist.
