Efficiency of Hypervolt Device Application in the Treatment of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Comparison of the Effects of Exercise and Hypervolt Device Application on Pain, Muscle Strength and Normal Joint Movement in the Treatment of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of exercise and Hypervolt Device on pain, muscle strength and normal joint movement in the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome.

The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial. The study sample will be divided into two groups by simple randomization method. Only exercise will be applied to 30 individuals diagnosed with shoulder impingement in the first group of the study. In the second group, 30 individuals with shoulder impingement diagnosis will be given a Hypervolt Device in addition to the exercise. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale and Lawton Daily Living Activities Questionnaire will be applied to the participants before and after the treatment. The obtained data will be analyzed statistically.

The painful area will be applied with a massage tool, and the frequency and mode of the tool will be adjusted in a way that does not disturb the patient.

It was developed to evaluate functional status and symptoms by focusing on physical function in upper extremity injuries. According to the results of the survey; a result from 0-100 is obtained from each part; 0-no apology 100-maximum apology.

It is a questionnaire consisting of eight questions, including information about using the telephone, preparing food, shopping, doing daily household chores, washing clothes, getting on a transportation vehicle, using medicines and managing money. If the individual does the activities independently, three points, two points if he does it with help, and one point if he cannot do it at all. In Lawton Activities of Daily Living Scale; 0-8 points are classified as "dependent", 9-16 points as "semi-dependent", 17-24 points as "independent".

Inclusion Criteria: Being between the ages of 18-50. Having a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) value of 5 or higher. Having a history of shoulder pain for at least 1 month. Volunteer to participate in research. Having been diagnosed with Shoulder Impingement. Exclusion Criteria: Having cognitive, mental or psychological problems.
