Objective To observe the clinical effect of electromagnetic focused shock wave combined with coracohumeral ligament release in the treatment of patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder.
Methods A total of 65 patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder were selected. A total of 33 patients in the control group were treated with coracohumeral ligament release, while 32 patients in the observation group were treated with electromagnetic focused shock wave and coracohumeral ligament release. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, shoulder function (Constant scale) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons′ Form (ASES) and motion range of shoulder were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.
Results Before treatment, there were no significant differences in VAS score, Constant score, ASES score and score of motion range of shoulder between the two groups (P > 0.05); after treatment, the scores of patients in both groups improved significantly, and was significantly better in the observation group than that of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion In the rehabilitation of patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, the clinical effect of coracohumeral ligament release combined with electromagnetic focused shock wave is more significant.
