Effects of Matrix Rhythm Therapy in Patients with Supraspinatus Tendinitis

Abstract

Background: Shoulder pain is frequently brought on by supraspinatus tendinitis. The patients with supraspinatus tendinitis usually complain of tenderness at the supraspinatus tendon insertion and pain during shoulder movement. A painful arc and overhead reaching are the symptoms of supraspinatus tendinitis, which typically has a lesion close to the musculotendinous junction. Disorders are described by The Matrix Concept as biological processes that have "derailed" and "lost rhythm." The "Matrixmobil," a specialized device, generates a combination of mechanical and magnetic pulses in the 8–12 Hz physiological frequency range. By restoring the proper frequency and amplitude range of the relevant tissue and organs, Matrix Rhythm Therapy seeks to repair errant body rhythm in the event that perturbations to a healthy regulative function of synchronously cooperating oscillations occurs.

Methodology: Based on the fundamental inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 30 participants who had been diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinitis were recruited for the study. The participants were split into two groups: Group B received therapeutic exercise and icing, whereas Group A received matrix rhythm treatment, therapeutic exercise, and icing. Following the six sessions of matrix rhythm therapy over the course of four weeks, there were therapeutic exercises and icing. Utilizing VAS, SPADI, and shoulder ROM, the individual was evaluated both before and after.

Result: The study found that both the intervention group and the control group were statistically significant. The application of matrix rhythm therapy showed more efficacy on the VAS (visual analogue scale), SPADI (shoulder pain and disability index), and shoulder ROM (range of motion) when compared to the control group, according to the study.

Conclusion: The current investigation came to the conclusion that both matrix rhythm therapy and therapeutic activities combined with icing have favorable efficacy. Matrix rhythm therapy has been demonstrated to be more effective than therapeutic exercise alone in lowering pain, enhancing range of motion, and reducing disability in individuals with supraspinatus tendinitis..
