Health-related outcomes with supervised exercise and myofascial release versus only supervised exercise in subacromial pain syndrome: a randomized controlled single-blind study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myofascial tissue plays a critical role in shoulder joint mobility disorders. Myofascial release therapy (MFR) is frequently utilized to restore the extensibility of fascial tissue and is considered beneficial for various clinical conditions such as low back pain and ankle injuries. However, no studies have yet evaluated the effects of MFR on periscapular muscles activation and shoulder mobility in patients with subacromial pain syndrome(SAPS).

Objective

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of MFR combined with supervised exercise(SE) and SE alone in patients with SAPS.

Design

Assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Setting

Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine.

Subjects

Subacromial pain
