Exclusive Author Interview

Dr. Michael Walton discusses conservative management strategies for frozen shoulder.

75 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder were randomized to one of three common physiotherapy interventions - physiotherapist-supervised exercise class (EC) with home exercise, individual multimodal physiotherapy (IMP) and home exercise, or home exercise (HE) alone - to compare patient-reported outcomes. Results indicated more significant improvements in Constant and Oxford scores in the EC group compared to both the IMP and HE groups. Additionally, Constant and Oxford scores were significantly better with IMP versus HE. Range of movement and HADS scores were similarly better in both the EC and IMP groups compared to the HE group. SF-36 scores were not significantly different overall between groups.
