Physiotherapy for Moderate Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Moderate Osteoarthritis of the Knee Overview of Conditions: Moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA) involves significant degeneration of articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Structural changes, such as cartilage thinning, bone sclerosis, and osteophyte formation, become more pronounced. Symptoms include persistent knee pain, stiffness, and swelling, often exacerbated by activity and relieved by rest. […]
Physiotherapy Treatment Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Mild Osteoarthritis of the Knee Overview of Conditions: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a degenerative joint disease that leads to the breakdown of articular cartilage, changes in the underlying bone, and soft tissue remodeling. In the early or mild stage of knee OA, the joint experiences some wear and tear, […]
Physiotherapy for Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis Overview of Conditions: Idiopathic adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and progressive loss of motion in the shoulder joint, with no known trauma or underlying systemic cause. It typically affects individuals between 40-60 years of age, with a higher incidence […]
Physiotherapy for Post-Traumatic Adhesive Capsulitis
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Post-Traumatic Adhesive Capsulitis Overview of Conditions: Post-traumatic adhesive capsulitis (PTAC) develops following a traumatic injury to the shoulder, such as fractures, dislocations, or rotator cuff tears, leading to inflammation and fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. The initial trauma causes acute inflammation, which is followed by the development of adhesive capsulitis as […]
Physiotherapy for frozen shoulder
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Chronic Adhesive Capsulitis Overview of Conditions: Chronic adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is characterized by progressive stiffening and thickening of the glenohumeral joint capsule, leading to pain, restricted range of motion (ROM), and difficulties in performing functional tasks. In the chronic stage, which follows the painful (freezing) phase, the stiffness persists, […]
Physiotherapy Adhesive Capsulitis
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Acute Onset of Adhesive Capsulitis Overview of Conditions: Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a painful and restrictive condition characterized by inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the shoulder joint capsule. This condition typically presents in three stages: In the acute (freezing) phase, the patient experiences severe pain with movement […]
Physiotherapy for Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Overview of Conditions: Rotator cuff tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the tendons in the rotator cuff muscles, typically resulting from overuse or repetitive overhead movements. It can occur acutely after a traumatic injury or develop gradually over time due to degenerative changes, improper posture, or excessive […]
Post-Traumatic Mechanical Shoulder Pain
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Post-Traumatic Mechanical Shoulder Pain Overview of Conditions: Post-traumatic mechanical shoulder pain typically follows an injury or trauma, such as fractures, dislocations, rotator cuff tears, or ligament sprains. This condition is marked by pain, swelling, restricted range of motion (ROM), and weakness, leading to functional limitations. Common causes include falls, sports injuries, […]
Chronic Mechanical Shoulder Pain
Overview of Conditions: Chronic mechanical shoulder pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition that lasts for more than 3 months. It often arises from repetitive stress, overuse, or degeneration of the shoulder structures, including conditions like rotator cuff tendinopathy, shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), or biceps tendinopathy. The pain is generally persistent, with symptoms […]
Physiotherapy for Acute Onset of Shoulder Pain
Physiotherapy Treatment Protocol for Acute Onset of Mechanical Shoulder Pain Overview of Conditions: Mechanical shoulder pain refers to pain originating from the musculoskeletal structures of the shoulder, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Acute mechanical shoulder pain typically arises from trauma, overuse, sudden movements, or poor posture. Common conditions associated with acute mechanical shoulder pain […]
