ABSTRACT
Background: Periarthritis shoulder is an inflammatory condition that causes fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule is accompanied by gradually progressive stiffness and significant restriction of range of motion typically external rotation. [1]
20 people with PA shoulder of age group >30 years were recruited from the community. The strength of external rotators on functional activities in patients with PA shoulder was evaluated by MMT, ROM, and SPADI.
Method: 20 people with PA shoulder of age group >30 years were recruited from the community. The strength of external rotators on functional activities in patients with PA shoulder was evaluated by MMT, ROM, and SPADI.
Result: Correlation between ROM and MMT shows r=0.561.A significant positive correlation is found between ROM and MMT (p value <0.05) which indicates that’s the variable move in same direction.
Conclusion: Increment in MMT shows significant improvement on ROM.
Also this study shows a significant negative correlation between ROM and SPADI, which indicates increment in SPADI cause a significant decrement in ROM.
Therefore this study concludes overall significance in external rotators of shoulder in functional activities of patients with PA shoulder.
Key words: PA shoulder, Periarthritis shoulder, external rotators of shoulder.
