Different physiotherapy strategies effect on shoulder pain and function in patients with compartment syndrome

Aim of the study: to evaluate the effect of different physiotherapy strategies on shoulder pain and function in patients with compartment syndrome. Methods of the study: Visual Analogue Scale, Patient-specific functional scale, Goniometer, \"Lafayette\" dynamometer. Results: The obtained results showed that both physiotherapy strategies are effective. In both groups, the results before and after treatment statistically improved. In the ischemic compression group, the mean change in the results of the study before and after treatment was higher than in the kineziotape group, but the difference was not statistically significant. While comparing the groups, a statistically significant difference was observed only in the intensity of pain decrease. Conclusions: 1. Ischemic compression group statistically significantly improvement was obtained in the intensity of pain reduction, improved functional activity the upper arm muscle isometric strenght and motion amplitudes. No statistical significance was observed in the retraction of the upper arm. 2. Kinesiotaping group statistically significantly improvement was obtained in the intensity of pain reduction, improved functional activity the upper arm muscle isometric strenght and motion amplitudes. 3. Comparing the mean of the data before and after treatment, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment strategies, the statistical significance was established only in the reduction of pain intensity of the ischemic compression group
