Abstract
Objective: Many researcher have reported that painful arc syndrome arises from multiple lesion i. e. minor tear of supraspinatus tendon, supraspinatus tendinitis, calcified deposit in the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursitis, crack fracture of greater tuberosity of humerus and bicipital tenosynovitis. In this study, dry needling and KCAT technique with specific exercise programme has been done to reduce pain and improve functioning and their by prevent shoulder pathologies. The objective of the study is. 1) To evaluate the effectiveness of kinetic chain activation in painful arc syndrome. 2) To evaluate the effectiveness of dry needling therapy in painful arc syndrome. 3) To evaluate the effectiveness of a specific exercise program. Methods: 50 patient diagnosed with painful arc syndrome by the physiotherapy department orthopedic department OPD will be initially assessed for the inclusion or exclusion criteria. prior to the treatment procedure patients are oriented to the study and taken informed consent, patient is divided in to two groups(Group A and Group B) and both groups will be assessed for the pre-test parameter. Outcome measure – shoulder pain and disability scale and goniometry is used for measuring pre-test and post-test. Results: The study was significant in reducing pain level and improving function with the pretest. At the end of 6 w treatment program with, both group A (dry needling) and group B(KCAT) showed improvement in painful arc syndrome. Based on results, the study supports research hypothesis that there was a significant improvement in ROM and significant reduction in SPADI score associated with painful arc syndrome. Patient participated in group B shows more significant changes. Conclusion: The study showed that significant improvement in symptoms of group B as compared to group A from the initial level to week 6. At the end of 6 w training programme both group A and group B Shows improvements in symptoms but the result of study supports that group B (KCAT CONCEPT-finger fanning technique) B is more efficient compare to group A(dry needling).
