Abstract
Objective: Aim: The aim of this paper is to assess the efficacy of physical therapy conducted in patients with painful shoulder syndrome in the course of rotator cuff injury.
Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: The study involved a group of 25 patients: 15 women and 10 men. The patients were treated at a rehabilitation clinic in Radom for a period of 3 weeks. The physical therapy used in study patients included diadynamic currents, ultrasound therapy, cryotherapy, shockwave therapy, and kinesiotherapy.
Results: Results: After treatment, the pain was eliminated or remarkably reduced and the range of joint motion was increased in all planes.
Conclusion: Conclusions: 1. The physical therapy used in study patients helped eliminate or reduce pain. 2. The range of joint motion was increased in all planes. 3. The quality of life and functioning in study patients was improved. 4. Treatment of this disorder is based on physical therapy.
