Supervised physiotherapy program does not improve results over home exercises alone following hydrodilation for frozen shoulder

This report has been verified by one or more authors of the original publication.

41 patients with primary frozen shoulder who received treatment with hydrodilatation were randomized to either participate in a 4-week supervised physiotherapy program afterward in addition to a home exercise therapy program, or to home exercises alone. Patients were assessed for shoulder function on the Oxford Shoulder Score, pain, and range of motion at 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12-month follow-up. Results demonstrated no significant differences between groups in any outcome measure at any time point following treatment.
