Effective Of Continuous Therapeutic Ultrasound Combined With Exercises For Rotator Cuff Diseases

Abstract

Objective: Evaluate an effective of continuous therapeutic ultrasound for Rotator Cuff diseases.

Study Design: It is a case control study design was conducted.

The setting and time of the study: This study was carried out among patients in Erbil city/ Kurdistan Region/ Iraq, in Rezgary Hospital and clinical center of Physiotherapy. During six months from February 2022 to Julay2022.

Participants: thesis is an observational study in 90 people between the ages of 18 and 50 years.

 Interventions & Main Outcome Measures: The participants are divided into two groups: 45 patients who underwent ultrasound and exercises, 45 patients who underwent exercises without ultrasound, while experimental research and ultrasound therapy are applied at Rizgari Teaching Hospital and Sardam privet Hospital.

Result: The clinical effect of the ultrasound therapy with exercises was applied between-group differences at each time intervention separately, and no statistically significant differences were highlighted between group A and B at before providing therapies. Similarly, both groups showed identical effect after first follow-up and hence resulted to non-statistically significant difference, turning to after the second follow-up, there was highly significant difference which led us to report that group A and B had different impact in reducing the pain and we can point out that A had better performance in reducing the pain.

Conclusion: Rehabilitation exercises may reduce disability rates by improving muscle strength increase blood flow increases modality of muscle and function while reduce the pain of patients with rotator cuff disease.
