The Effect of Rehabilitation Exercises and the Use of Shockwave Therapy on Improving Muscle Strength of Frozen Shoulder Joint in (40-50) Aged Women

Abstract

The study aimed at:

1. Preparing rehabilitation exercises for the shoulder joint affected by freezing for women aged (40-50) years.
2. Knowing the effect of rehabilitation exercises and the use of shock waves in improving the muscular strength of the shoulder joint affected by freezing for women aged (40-50) years.

     The researcher used the experimental approach for the two equivalent groups (experimental and control) with pre- and post-tests and the research community included women with shoulder freeze for ages 40-50 years who review (Kirkuk Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled) and the number of (10) injured were randomly divided into two groups (5) injured for the control group, has been implementing the rehabilitation curriculum for both groups, and collect data and process them statistically and obtain and discuss results.

The researcher reached several conclusions are:

1. For the prepared rehabilitation exercises and the use of shock waves, contributed to improving the muscular strength of the experimental group.
2. When comparing the two groups in the research variables, the rehabilitation approach prepared by the researcher and the use of the shock wave device had a positive impact on strength tests when compared to the control group.
