(English) Episode 114-Unlocking Frozen Shoulder - Exercise_vs hands-on therapy for pain and range of motion

This document is a systematic review and meta-analysis published in the journal Healthcare in 2023 by Lee, Jeon, and Yoon, titled "Effects of Exercise Intervention (With and Without Joint Mobilization) in Patients with Adhesive Capsulitis." The authors investigated the impact of exercise alone versus exercise combined with joint mobilization on shoulder range of motion (ROM), subjective function, and pain recovery in individuals diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder). The research aimed to provide evidence-based conclusions to help determine the most effective conservative rehabilitation methods for this condition. Their findings indicate that both interventions are beneficial, with joint mobilization enhancing ROM, while exercise alone showed a greater impact on subjective function and pain relief.(Lee JH, Jeon HG, Yoon YJ.
