Article Synopsis
- Moderate physical activity (MPA) combined with conventional physical therapy (CPT) significantly improves pain, range of motion, and disability in patients suffering from diabetic adhesive capsulitis compared to those receiving only CPT.
- A randomized control trial involving 44 patients showed that those who engaged in MPA exhibited larger improvements in their disability scores, as well as pain and mobility measures, within six weeks of treatment.
- The findings suggest that incorporating MPA into standard treatments for diabetic adhesive capsulitis could enhance patient outcomes and overall quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between hamstring tightness and knee osteoarthritis (KOA), noting that tight hamstrings can aggravate knee issues by increasing strain and limiting motion.
- The research compares the effects of two treatment methods—instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)—on hamstring flexibility in KOA patients.
- Results indicated that while both treatments improved flexibility, pain, and overall health status, IASTM was significantly more effective than PNF after a 6-week treatment period.
