Hydrodilatation superior to manipulation in patients with adhesive capsulitis
②
Synopsis: 40 patients that were eligible for inclusion were randomized to either receive manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) or hydrodilatation as treatment for adhesive capsulitis.The results at 6 months indicate that both treatment groups had successful treatment resulting in good outcomes. However, the outcomes... Read More »

Active trigger point dry needling effective in the lower trapezius to reduce neck pain
①
Synopsis: 72 patients with mechanical idiopathic neck pain were randomly assigned to a group of dry needling in a myofascial trigger point (MTrP) in the lower trapezius muscle, or a control group of non-trigger point dry needling (non-TrP-DN).The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of TrP-DN directly into an active trigger point in the lower trapezius, versus dry needling away from the site of the MTrP, to alleviate unilateral neck pain. The findings demonstrated... Read More »

Assessing the immediate effect of wrist extension exercise on grip strength after DRF
②
Synopsis: 28 patients who had suffered a distal radial fracture (DRFs) and were undergoing occupational therapy were randomized to either perform a 6-minute repetitive wrist extension exercise protocol, or to a rest period of the same length.The purpose of this study was to assess the immediate effect of the intervention protocol on grip strength and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores. Results demonstrated significant... Read More »

Shockwave Therapy For Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy
①
Synopsis: One hundred and nineteen patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy were randomized to received extracorporeal shockwave therapy with eccentric exercise (ESWT +EE) (n=58) or eccentric exercise (EE) and sham therapy (n=61).The primary outcome was function measured by the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment-Achilles questionnaire (VISA-A).Secondary outcomes of interest included pain scores, the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), recurrence and failure of treatment.Both groups demonstrated significant improvements from baseline.No differences in the VISA-A, FAOS or SF-12 were found at any time point between groups. The EWST+EE group... Read More »

Photobiomodulation in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome With Pain, Strength, And Functionality Analysis
①
Synopsis: Thirteen studies including 735 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing low-level laser therapy (LLLT) vs.placebo, wrist splints, or exercises.Pooled outcomes of interest included pain intensity, handgrip strength, pinch strength, and hand functionality.Meta-analysis revealed no significant differences in pain or handgrip strength between LLLT and controls, but a significant improvement in functionality. These findings suggest... Read More »
