Brief summary
The shoulder is a mobile structure which generates a lot of pathologies. One of them is rotator cuff tendinosis. On the other hand, it has been investigated that Maitland is effective for reducing pain and for mobility in the cervical and lumbar spine and in joints such as the knee and ankle, however, there are few studies that confirm that it is effective in shoulder pathologies.So here the investigatprs want to study the effectiveness of Maitland as an adjunctive treatment for shoulder pathologies, comparing it with conventional physiotherapy treatment, in relation to the reduction of pain and increased mobility. For that the investigators have a randomized clinical trial with two group.
Detailed description
Group 1 receives tens, SW, conventional physiotherapy and exercises as treatment. Group 2 receives tens, SW, Mailtland, and exercises. An assessment is carried out at the beginning of the treatment, at the end and 2-4 weeks after finishing the treatment. The EVA ASES, DASH and SF-36 scales are included and the biomechanics study is used for the range of mobility.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of Range of Motion (ROM) | Baseline and 1, 5, and 7 weeks after treatment | Active ROM of the affected shoulder is measured using a Mechanic Analysis to assess range of motion. These measurements included abduction, flexion, internal rotation, and external rotation. |
| Change of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Baseline and 1, 5, and 7 weeks after treatment | Visual analogue score (VAS) was done at rest and at shoulder movement. VAS was explained to the patients during assessment as 0 equal no pain and 10 equal worst imaginable pain. |
| Change of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) | Baseline and 1, 5, and 7 weeks after treatment | Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) was filled by patient during assessment as 0 equal better functionality and 100 equal worst functionality |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change of American shoulder and elbow Surgeons (ASES) | Baseline and 1, 5, and 7 weeks after treatment | Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) was filled by patient during assessment as 0 equal worst functionality and 100 is equal better functionality |
| Change of 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) | Baseline and 1, 5, and 7 weeks after treatment | Health Survey (SF-36) was filled by patient during assessment as 0 equal worst health and 100 is equal better health |
