Active Comparator
Active Comparator
group A (controlled group)
group B(Study group)
received passive range of motion (PROM)/ active assisted range of motion (AAROM)/ active range of motion (AROM) exercises, strengthen of rotator cuff, biceps, shoulder and scapular muscles, ultrasound (5 min. - 1.5 W/c.m2 - 1 MHZ), electrical stimulation ( interferential bipolar technique for 20 min. on shoulder joint). This treatment was repeated three times per weeks with 24 hours rest for 3 weeks.
All patients in group B received biomechanical scapular mobilization with movement and motor learning and traditional methods.
