Background: The research examined the effect of a scapular stabilizing exercise on shoulder pain, active range of motion (AROM) and changes in the position of the shoulder blade of patients with frozen shoulder.
Methods: General physical therapy and a scapular stabilizing exercise were applied to a 53-year-old female patient with frozen shoulder three times a week for four weeks. Before and after the therapy, measurements were made on the visual analog scale (VAS) and of the AROM, and a lateral scapular slide test was conducted.
Results: Following the therapy, VAS fell from 7 to 3. Before therapy, flexion, abduction, internal rotation, and external rotation recorded 133’, 102’, 45’, and 53’ respectively; after the therapy they increased to 150’, 123’, 55’, and 65’ respectively. The lateral scapular slide test showed sliding distances before therapy of 8.5cm at 0’, 9.2cm at 45’, and 11.3cm at 90’; after therapy, the distances decreased to 6.8 cm at 0’, 8.2 cm at 45’, and 9cm at 90’.
Conclusion: The scapular stabilizing exercise was effective in alleviating shoulder pain, increasing AROM, and reducing changes in the position of the shoulder blade of frozen shoulder patients.
