- Abstract
Study Objective: To compare effects of Deep friction massage and Ultrasound Therapy combined and Deep Friction Massage alone in supraspinatus tendinitis. Design: Quasi experimental Method and Measurements: 30 patients from RNH [Age group 20-70 yrs] who were diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinitis, with onset ?1-3 months (chronic) were randomly assigned to either group A receiving DFM and US combined or group B receiving DFM alone. Treatment was given for 6 consecutive settings. Before treatment and after 6th day of treatment pain was assessed on VAS and MPQ. Results: Subjects in-group A that received Ultrasound and deep friction massage showed greater. Improvement in pain compared with the deep friction massage group on 6th day compared with pre treatment. Conclusion: The result of study suggests that Ultrasound and deep friction massage improves the pain symptoms of supraspinatus tendinitis. Deep friction massage alone improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results Ultrasound and deep friction massage should be the treatment of choice for supraspinatus tendinitis rather than deep friction massage alone.
