Abstract
Introduction: Periarthritis of the shoulder affects 2% to 3% of the general population and is commonly seen in the age group between 40-60 years. Periarthritis is defined as an idiopathic painful restriction of shoulder joint movements due to restriction of the glenohumeral joint. Patients with periarthritis of the shoulder clinically represent difficulties in activities of daily living like dressing, grooming, performing overhead activities, and disturbing sleep on the affected side.
Aim and Objective: The aim of the study is to see the effectiveness of KIASTM along with the Muscle Energy Technique on pain and functional disability index with periarthritis shoulder.
Method: 30 patients with periarthritis shoulder who visited the physiotherapy department OPD were included in the study with patient consent. Patients were divided randomly into two groups; Group A received KIASTM with Muscle energy technique, and Group B received Muscle energy technique only (Isometric contraction method of MET). Pain was evaluated by VAS and Functional Disability evaluation was done by SPADI scale. Pre-and post-intervention in both groups. Independent t-tests were used to compare the pre-and post-intervention results in both groups.
Results: Both groups exhibited significant improvement in SPAID post-intervention. However, there was a significant difference in Group A, who were treated with KIASTM and MET.
Conclusion: KIASTM is an effective tool for fascia release and can be incorporated with other techniques like MET for effective and fast results in pain relief and overcoming disability in patients with shoulder periarthritis. Therefore, we commend it to be a good technique for such patients.
