Abstract

Background: Physical therapists commonly use manual therapy to improve shoulder range of motion. Manual therapy was investigated to determine its effectiveness in improving range of motion in overhead athletes. Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of manual therapy techniques versus other therapy treatments on improving range of motion in overhead athletes. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and PEDro databases using search terms related to manual therapy, shoulder, overhead athletes, and volleyball were combined with Boolean operators. The results were limited to English articles published within the last 5 years. Full text articles that remained after a title, abstract and full text screen were included. Results: The initial search yielded a total of 419 articles which were screened based on specific inclusion criteria. Following a title screen, abstract screen, and full text screen, eight articles fit the inclusion criteria defined and were included for review. Of the eight articles included, seven reported significant results of improving range of motion with some form of manual therapy. Conclusion: The results support the benefit of administering various forms of manual therapy to an overhead athlete's physical therapy program to further improve shoulder range of motion.

徒手疗法治疗头顶运动员的疗效系统评价

背景:物理治疗师通常使用手工疗法来改善肩部活动范围。手工疗法被调查，以确定其有效性，以提高运动范围在头顶运动员。目的:本系统综述的目的是研究手工治疗技术与其他治疗方法对提高头顶运动员的活动范围的影响。方法:系统检索PubMed、Embase和PEDro数据库，使用与手工治疗、肩部、头顶运动员和排球相关的搜索词与布尔运算符相结合。结果仅限于近5年内发表的英文文章。包括标题、摘要和全文屏幕之后的全文文章。结果:最初的搜索产生了419篇文章，这些文章是根据特定的纳入标准筛选的。在标题屏幕、摘要屏幕和全文屏幕之后，有8篇文章符合定义的纳入标准，并被纳入审查。在纳入的八篇文章中，七篇报道了通过某种形式的手工治疗改善活动范围的显著结果。结论:本研究结果支持对头顶运动员的物理治疗方案进行各种形式的手工治疗以进一步改善肩部活动范围的益处。
