Thirty-six individuals divided three groups as mirror therapy, visual feedback, and control groups were included in the study for 15 sessions of treatment. All individuals received basic treatment as ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, cold pack, stretching exercises, glenohumeral range of motion exercises, scapulothoracic exercises. The mirror group bilateral exercised with an affected arm behind the mirror; visual feedback group bilateral exercised by seeing both arms in the mirror; control group bilateral exercised without a mirror for 10 minutes after every session. Pain severity was evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), ROM and proprioception were measured with a universal goniometer, and functional status was evaluated with shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and Modified Constant Score. Evaluations were made before, day after the treatment and 4 weeks after the treatment by the same researcher. Data analysis was performed with SPSS.23.
The aim of this study compares mirror therapy and visual feedback treatment with the control group in frozen shoulder patients.
