Study Recommends New Protocol for treating Shoulder stiffness - reports APTA journal

[CBonella]

Hi again Crystal.
I got to the article in question initially from the APTA website as a member of the APTA. When I was in school 35-40 yrs ago, a student membership (cheaper) was made available to you through the school as part of your "student expenses" the last 2 yrs. Upon graduation, you were given the option of joining as a professional, but actually, you could do it anytime there-after.
I took the by-line & researchers names (inserted in my last note) & put them in "search" on the computer, & they brought up the reports (you wouldn't need any special memberships) The exercises would be similiar, but adapted to the pt & the pt's home environment to ensure ease of performance & compliance. The key is the scheduled periodic visits w/PT to "Tweek" the Exercise Plan for accuracy & to progress it as the pt becomes ready. If they can be made less "boring", that also would be a plus.
Of course, I'm speaking as an "in-home therapist" & I'm just glad they'rs doing the research to prove what I've seen & known for years. I just got notice of a similiar study they are doing as a follow up of hip therapy, but won't be able to participate because it's centered 3 hours away.
