Abstract
Background and purpose: Frozen shoulder disease, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is characterized by a progressive loss of shoulder mobility due to fibrotic inflammation of the shoulder joint capsule. This condition can significantly impact patients, leading to sleep disturbances and difficulties in daily activities. The alteration of natural scapular kinematics and scapula-humeral rhythm contributes to a phenomenon called scapular dyskinesia. Scapular dyskinesia refers to the abnormal positioning and movement of the scapula. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of corrective exercises on scapular dyskinesia in individuals with frozen shoulder, both with and without diabetes. Method: Our research followed an impact measurement design with pre-test and post-test assessments. Specifically, we conducted a semi-experimental investigation involving women aged 40 to 55 years who were diagnosed with frozen shoulder. To determine the sample size, we estimated 29 participants using G Power software. The observational dyskinesia test used to assess scapular dyskinesia. The corrective exercise program, combined with physiotherapy, performed from the second session. The total treatment program consisted of 10 sessions, conducted five days a week, with individualized sessions lasting 40 minutes each (beginning with physiotherapy followed by corrective massage). We used statistical tests, including the correlation t-test and analysis of covariance, to analyses the data using SPSS software (with a significance level set at 0.05). Findings: The findings indicated that there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the selected corrective exercises in improving dyskinesia between the two groups. Conclusion: the lack of a significant effect from the selected corrective exercises in reducing scapular dyskinesia among individuals with frozen shoulder (both with and without diabetes), it appears that frozen shoulder exercises do not effectively correct scapular dyskinesia. Therefore, it is advisable to incorporate specific exercises targeting the scapula’s condition to address dyskinesia.
