Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find the effects of scapular pattern and hold-relax technique of propriocetive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF) on the range of motion(ROM) and to find the effects of pain relieve through visual analogue scale(VAS) in frozen shoulder patients. The subjects were consisted of thirty frozen shoulder patients(men ; 9, women , 21) The measurement of the shoulder range of mnotion was taken by
measuring the degrees of flexion, abduction, and external rotation with a goniometer and the measurement of pain was performed by VAS from pre treatment to one to fbur weeks The results were as follows
l. There was the statistical significance not only in the range of motion such as shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation, but also in VAS during four weeks(p<_05).
2. By the result of Schcftc s multiple comparison test, there was statistical significance between the values of pre treatment and treatment after one week in the range of motion of shoulder flexion. In that of shoulder external rotation, there was statistical significance between the values of pre treatment and treatment after one week, and between those of treatment after one and two weeks. As the result of this statistical significance of shoulder external rotation, the early treatment was thought to be more effective. However, there was statistical significance in the treatment after two and three weeks in shoulder abduction and was statistical significance between the values of pre treatment and the treatment after one week, and between those of treatment after two and three weeks in VAS (p<.O5).
3. There was not statistical significance between men and women in the range of motion of the shoulder and in VAS(p>.05).
4. There was not statistical significance between the right and left frozen shoulder patients in the range of´ motion of shoulder and in VAS(p>.05).
