Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of ischemic compression and IASTM techniques on pain, EHA, functionality, anxiety and depression in patients with the diagnosis of RM tear and presence of ATN. In addition, ischemic compression and EDYDM methods were aimed to compare and to reveal which application would be more useful.

Detailed description

In this study participants were randomly divided into two groups. While ischemic compression was applied to one group for the determined active trigger points, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) was applied to the other group for active trigger points. In addition to the treatment, both groups were subjected to a joint rehabilitation program.

Conditions

• Rotator Cuff Tears
• Shoulder Pain
• Myofascial Trigger Point Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	ischemic compression	ATNs detected in a total of 13 muscles around the shoulder were applied constant pressure at the level of pain tolerated with the thumb (discomfort severity level 7 to 8 out of 10) and for 90 seconds. This method was applied twice a week for 6 weeks.
OTHER	IASTM	In order to apply EDYDM in the treatment of ATN, titanium plated stainless steel was divided into two parts, front and back, with two tools. The sweep was applied to the anterior muscle fibers at an angle of 45 ° for 40 seconds. For each TN, continuous pressure was applied with swivel movement at tolerable pain level (discomfort severity level 7 to 8 out of 10) for 1 minute. The back group muscles were applied in the same way.
OTHER	Rehabilitation Program	A rehabilitation program consisting of exercises and manual therapy used in the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tear for both groups was applied twice a week for 6 weeks.
