Abstract Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder is a prevalent degenerative joint disease characterized by pain, stiffness, and functional disability. Physiotherapy treatment with manual therapy and exercise is popular for symptom control. The purpose of this study was to compare McKenzie's Manual Treatment combined with Conventional Physiotherapy versus Conventional Physiotherapy alone for patients with shoulder OA.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out on 60 patients aged between 40 and 70 years with a diagnosis of shoulder OA. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group was administered McKenzie's Manual Treatment along with standard physiotherapy, whereas the control group was administered conventional physiotherapy alone. Treatment for both the groups was done for four weeks. The outcome measures were Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), which were measured pre- and post-intervention.
Results: Both groups had significant improvement in pain and function of the shoulder. The intervention group had more decrease in SPADI scores (from 74.53 ± 19.2 to 10.4 ± 5.10) and NPRS scores (from 7.86 ± 1.66 to 2.86 ± 1.14) with highly significant p-values (p < 0.001). The control group also had significant but less improvement. Comparative analysis verified the greater efficacy of addition of McKenzie's Manual Treatment.
Conclusion: The addition of McKenzie's Manual Treatment to the standard physiotherapy is a better method for alleviating pain and disability in patients with shoulder OA than physiotherapy alone. Adding manual therapy techniques to rehabilitation programs could improve clinical results in such patients.
