Abstract

AbstractFrozen shoulder is a condition where there is inflammation, pain, adhesions, atrophy and shortening the joint capsule of the shoulder joint, causing limitations. Attacks are usually unilateral, occurring more among women than men and it is more common in the age of 45-60 years. Frozen shoulder can affect the shoulder joint stiffness and functional inhibition of shoulder motion. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of Hold relax technique to increase the distance of abducted motion of the frozen shoulder. This study was a quasy experiment with pretest-post test design. As many as 10 research subjects who experience frozen shoulder with limitation of motion of joint shoulder abduction who came for treatment to Physiotherapy Clinic of Ratulangi Medical Center from February to may 2014. The results showed a significant difference before and after administration of the hold relax technique with an average obtained by the difference value ROM of 10.80 + 3.150 with test results Wilcoxon p = 0.005. Conclusions: There was an addition of the shoulder joint abduction range of motion before and after the application of Hold-relax technique on frozen shoulder, so it is expected this technique can be used to overcome frozen shoulder.Keywords : Hold Relax, Range of motion, Frozen shoulderAbstrakFrozen shoulder adalah keadaan dimana terjadi peradangan, nyeri, perlengketan, atropi dan pemendekan kapsul sendi sehingga terjadi keterbatasan gerak sendi bahu. Serangan umumnya bersifat unilateral, lebih banyak pada wanita dibandingkan laki–laki dan lebih sering terjadi pada usia 45 – 60 tahun. Frozen shoulder dapat berdampak pada kekakuan dan terhambatnya fungsi gerak sendi bahu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh teknik hold relax terhadap penambahan jarak gerak abduksi sendi bahu frozen shoulder. Penelitian ini adalah quasi experimen dengan disain pretes–post tes. Subyek penelitian sebanyak 10 orang yang mengalami frozen shoulder berdasarkan diagnosis dokter dengan keterbatasan gerak abduksi sendi bahu yang datang berobat ke klinik fisioterapi Ratulangi Medical Centre sejak Februari s/d Mei 2014. Sampel diperoleh secara accidental sampling selama periode penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan sebelum dan sesudah pemberian teknik hold relax dengan selisih rata–rata nilai range of motion sebesar 10,80 + 3,150 dengan hasil uji Wilcoxon p= 0,005. Kesimpulan, terjadi penambahan jarak gerak abduksi sendi bahu sebelum dan sesudah diberikan teknik hold relax pada frozen shoulder, sehingga diharapkan teknik ini dapat digunakan sebagai suatu metode mengatasi frozen shoulder.Kata kunci : Hold Relax, Jarak Gerak Sendi, Frozen shoulder
