Abstract

Background and Objective: SHOULDER ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS is very common. Each person experiences this disorder at least once during his life. This problem is the third most common of the musculoskeletal disorders, after low back pain and neck pain worldwide. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of LOW POWER LASER and ULTRASOUND in the treatment of the SHOULDER ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS.Materials and Methods: This is a double blind clinical trial study performed in the Fattemieh physiotherapy clinic of Rafsanjan In for 12 months, from 20 January 2007 to 20 January 2008. Ninty patients who were afflicated with rotator cuff tendonitis of the shoulder were divided into three equal groups randomly (30 in each group). Patients were treated in 10 sessions. Each group either received LOW POWER LASER or ULTRASOUND or none (control group). Intensity of the pain and improvement of the movement was assessed during 1st, 5th and 10th sessions. Data were analyzed by SPSS (version 10).Results: The results of this study showed that LOW POWER LASER can be more effective than ULTRASOUND in the relieving the pain among patients (p<0.0001). Although, in 5th session, LOW POWER LASER was more effective than ULTRASOUND in improving the movement of the shoulder (p<0.0001), in the 10th session ULTRASOUND was shown to be a better method (p<0.0001).Conclusion: It can be concluded from our results that LOW POWER LASER is a more suitable method for reducing the pain of the SHOULDER ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS. However, ULTRASOUND can be a more effective method for improving the movement of the shoulder.
