The Effectiveness of the Combination of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) and Codman Pendulum Exercise to Improve the Functional Ability of the Shoulder in Patients with Frozen Shoulders

The primary symptoms of frozen shoulder, one of the most prevalent disorders or complaints affecting the shoulder joint, are pain and restricted range of motion. Several conditions, including diabetes and hyperthyroidism, are thought to be connected to the development of frozen shoulder. Other causes of frozen shoulder include degeneration or stiffness of the shoulder joint capsule tissue. The goal of this study is to determine how well patients with frozen shoulder may improve their shoulder's functional capacities by combining the use of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) and Codman Pendulum Exercise technique. This study aims to prove the effectiveness of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) and Codman Pendulum Exercise as a physiotherapeutic approach in managing to improve shoulder functional ability in frozen shoulder. Quasi-experimental research with pre and post tests but no control group design is the methodology employed. Research shows a value P = 0.000 (P<0.05) with a mean value of 13.227±4.995, which means that the intervention of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) and Codman Pendulum Exercise was significant for improving shoulder functional ability in frozen shoulder.
