Aplicación de la técnica de Inhibición recíproca en pacientes con síndrome del manguito rotador en el área de Terapia Física del HTMC.

Abstract

The rotator cuff syndrome occurs due to a degenerative phenomenon or wear of the tendon. It is known that the conditions increase with the passage of time, since they have a direct relationship with a process of progressive deterioration rather than with a unique and specific traumatic event. The benefits of the reciprocal inhibition technique applied in patients with rotator cuff syndrome who go to the Physical Therapy area of the Teodoro Maldonado Specialty Hospital of the city of Guayaquil will be determined. The work approach was quantitative, because statistics were made with data collection. The research presented an explanatory scope, because we will analyze and determine the benefits. The research study method was deductive. The research design was experimental of a pre-experimental type, because the phenomena are observed as they occur naturally, we had a sample of 43 patients. The technique of reciprocal inhibition was shown to improve the articular range in bending with 49%, extension with 67%, adduction with 70%, abduction with 47%, internal rotation with 42% and external rotation with 47%; pain decreased by 72% and muscle strength increased by 47%. In conclusion, it was determined that the technique of reciprocal inhibition is efficient in patients with rotator cuff syndrome and therefore it is advisable to use this technique in this type of pathologies.
