Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of frozen shoulder is often made when the real problem is muscular. Trigger points in the shoulder region muscle restrict movement of the shoulder and create pain on movement and at rest. One of the key muscle that must be examined is the subscapularis muscle. Objective: to investigate the relationship between subscapularis trigger points with shoulder pain and function, shoulder abduction and shoulder external rotation. Methods: data obtained from 50 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder regarding pressure pain threshold using pressure algometry, shoulder pain and function using shoulder pain and disability index, shoulder abduction and external rotation range of motion using HUSKY digital level inclinometer. All data obtained were statistically analysed and compared. Results: Pearson correlation coefficient was conducted to investigate the correlation between pressure pain threshold with shoulder pain and disability index, shoulder abduction and external rotation range of motion. Simple linear regression was conducted to produce a formula to predict the values of shoulder pain and disability index, shoulder abduction and external rotation range of motion from pressure pain threshold, strong negative correlation between pressure pain threshold with shoulder pain and disability index, strong positive correlation between pressure pain threshold with shoulder abduction and external rotation. Conclusion: There is correlation between subscapularis trigger points with shoulder pain and function, shoulder abduction and external rotation range of motion in frozen shoulder
