Abstract: (38 Views)
Background. Shoulder pain is prevalent not only in the general population but also in dancers, who engage their shoulders intensely.
Objectives. This study aimed to identify practical rehabilitation exercises for Korean traditional dancers suffering from adhesive capsulitis (AC), focusing on the comparative effects of elastic bands and dumbbells.
Methods. Sixteen female participants diagnosed with shoulder pain were divided into two groups and underwent a 6-week training program involving either elastic bands or dumbbells. Measurements of shoulder joint range of motion (ROM) and pain intensity using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) were collected pre- and post-intervention.
Results. Both groups showed improvements in ROM and NRS, with large effect sizes, though differences between groups were not statistically significant.
Conclusion. Strength training using both elastic bands and dumbbells positively influenced shoulder rehabilitation. This suggests that resistance training, regardless of the tool, is beneficial in recovery. Further research with larger samples and longer durations is recommended.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- Muscles move and feel sensations under the control of nerves. Therefore, when musculoskeletal pain occurs, applying interventions that allow the muscles to move smoothly helps relieve pain. This study confirmed the effect of reducing pain by using the shoulder joint muscles of subjects experiencing adhesive capsulitis.
