Effects of Thoracic Mobilization and Extension Exercise on Thoracic Alignment and Shoulder Function in Patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Introduction: Thoracic kyphosis commonly occurs in subacromial impingement syndrome. This pilot study investigated the effect of thoracic joint mobilization and extension exercise on improving thoracic alignment and shoulder function. Methods: In total, 30 patients with subacromial impingement syndrome were recruited and randomly assigned to three groups, the joint mobilization group (n = 10), exercise group (n = 10), and combination group (n = 10). After four weeks of treatment, the measured outcomes included thoracic kyphosis using a manual inclinometer; pectoralis major (PM) and upper trapezius (UT) muscle tone and stiffness using the MyotonPRO®; affected side passive range of motion (ROM) using the goniometer (flexion, abduction, medial rotation, and lateral rotation); and shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI). Results: All three groups had significant improvements in all variables (p < 0.05). Thoracic kyphosis; UT muscle tone; and flexion, medial rotation, and lateral rotation ROM and SPADI were all significantly improved in the combination group compared to the mobilization and exercise groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The combination therapy of thoracic mobilization and extension exercise can be regarded as a promising method to improve thoracic alignment and shoulder function in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.

Esant TH4 sindromo požymiams, stuburo mobilizacija veiksmingiau mažina rankų ir kaklo skausmą bei gerina funkciją nei savimobilizacija

Tyrimo pagrindimas. Pasireiškus Th4 sindromui, sutrinka vegetacinės nervų sistemos (VNS) funkcija (Karas, Pannone, 2017). Tai būklė, kuri gali atsirasti, kai kaklinės ir krūtininės stuburo dalies slanksteliai yra hipomobilūs, ir tai gali sukelti rankų parestezijas, tirpimą, šalimą arba prakaitavimą. Esant Th4 sindromui, gali sutrikti rankų judesių valdymas, atsirasti sunkumas, patinimas. Rankų skausmai gali būti susiję su sąstingiu ir galvos skausmu. Skausmas ir sąstingis pasireiškia menčių srityje, priekinėje arba nugarinėje krūtinės dalyje (Fernández-de-las-Peñas et al., 2015; Conroy, Schneiders, Tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti krūtininės stuburo dalies mobilizacijos ir savimobilizacijos poveikį rankų ir kaklo skausmui, funkcijai bei gyvenimo kokybei esant Th4 sindromo Metodai. Buvo tiriama 20 asmenų, kurie skundėsi galvos, rankų, pečių srities skausmu bei tirpimu. Buvo įvertinti pokyčiai miotomose ir dermatomose, rankų refleksai ir judesių amplitudės, rankų raumenų jėga, skausmas, Rezultatai. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad MOB grupės kaklo srities ir rankų skausmas po mobilizacijos sumažėjo nuo 4,8 ± 1,55 iki 3,3 ± 0,71 (p &lt; 0,05) ir nuo 4,5 ± 0,71 iki 2,8 ± 1,34 (p &lt; 0,05). SAVIMOB grupės kaklo ir rankų skausmas po savimobilizacijos sumažėjo nuo 3,6 ± 0,84 iki 2,3 ± 1,7 (p &gt; 0,05) ir nuo 4 ± 1,56 iki 3 ± 2,49 (p &gt; 0,05). Po mobilizacijos nustatyta, kad iš visų gyvenimo kokybės rodiklių labiausiai pagerėjo socialinis funkcionavimas, fizinė būklė, sumažėjo kūno skausmai ir veiklos apribojimas dėl emocinių ir fizinių Išvados. Kineziterapija, kurios metu taikoma mobilizacija, veiksmingiau mažina kaklo ir rankos skausmą, turi tendenciją labiau pagerinti stuburo paslankumą ir gyvenimo kokybę nei kineziterapija, kai atliekama savimobilizacija.Raktažodžiai: Th4 sindromas, krūtininės stuburo dalies mobilizacija, savimobilizacija.

The Benefit of Thoracic Mobilization and Manipulation for Upper Thoracic Pain: A case study

The purpose of this case study was to investigate the effects of thoracic mobilization and manipulation on a patient with upper thoracic pain. The subject had been complaining of upper thoracic pain for the last 4 months. On the X-ray, T3 and T4 spinous process were located on the left side of the vertical axis. First, transverse mobilization was applied from left to right at the T3-T4 and then thoracic manipulation was performed. The intervention methods of mobilization and manipulation were based on the concept of Maitland manual therapy. The subject underwent a total of 20 sessions (five times per week for four weeks). The thoracic pain and vertebral rotation angle were measured to examine the effect of the intervention. The thoracic pain score decreased (from 4.0 to 1.5) and the angle of thoracic vertebral rotation decreased (from 7.0o to 4.0o). These results suggest that applied mobilization and manipulation in patients with a primary complaint of thoracic pain decreasing the thoracic pain and vertebral rotation angle.

Effects of thoracic mobilization and manipulation on function and mental state in chronic lower back pain.

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in function and mental state after thoracic mobilization and manipulation in patients with chronic lower back pain (LBP). [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-six subjects were randomly divided into mobilization group (group A), manipulation group (group B) and control group (group C). The Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to measure the functional impairment of patients with LBP. A multiple spinal diagnosis was used to measure the range of motion (ROM) of vertebra segments. The Fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) was used to investigate the mental state of LBP patients. [Results] Group A and group B were significantly different from group C in terms of the ODI. Between groups, there was no difference in ROM during trunk flexion. Group A and group B were also significantly different from the control group in extension ROM. The FABQ of group B was significantly different from that of group A. [Conclusion] Application of mobilization or manipulation to thoracic lumbar vertebrae has a positive effect on function, mental state, and ROM in patients with lower back pain.
