Abstract
[Purpose] To evaluate whether improvements can be achieved by moving multiple shoulder joints independently in cases where range of motion exercise of the shoulder joints is made difficult by pain. [Subjects and Methods] Pain occurs in the axillary nerve region. Separate exercise of shoulder joints was performed by 32 patients with shoulder joint disease who were not able to improve their range of motion. [Results] Significant differences were found after exercise in the injury side flexion angle/healthy side flexion and the injury side external rotation angle/healthy side external rotation ratios. A significant positive correlation was found between the variables of injury side flexion and external rotation rate. [Conclusion] It is considered that improvements in difficult shoulder joint disorders can be made by separating the movements of multiple shoulder joints.
