Abstract:
Shoulder injury is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries. The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of manipulative therapy in reducing pain intensity and enhancing shoulder range of motion among individuals with shoulder injuries. This study employed a pre-experimental research design known as the one-group pretest-posttest design. The population of interest for this research comprises patients with shoulder injuries who seek treatment at the Physical and Manipulative Therapy Clinic, Health and Sport Center in Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. The sampling method employed in this study was purposive sampling, which involved selecting a sample size of 23 subjects. The pain level of the shoulder joint was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while the range of motion of the shoulder joint was measured using a goniometer. The measurements were conducted both before and after the treatment. The manipulative therapy treatment utilized in this study consisted of massage techniques such as effleurage, friction, petrissage, and tapotement, as well as stretching and mobilization. The data analysis technique employed in this study involved quantitative descriptive analysis, and the hypothesis testing was conducted using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of this study indicated that manipulative therapy was effective in significantly reducing the pain level of the shoulder joint (α = 0.000) with an effectiveness of 65.61%. Additionally, manipulative therapy was found to significantly improve the range of motion, specifically flexion by 26.67%, extension by 34.52%, abduction by 25.03%, adduction by 13.30%, medial rotation by 33.16%, and lateral rotation by 16.56% with an overall significant probability value of p = 0.000. manipulative therapy, thus, is recommended for reducing pain and increasing range of motion in shoulder injury.
