Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Various Physical Therapy Method about Shoulder Adhesive Capsulitis: The Cases of Domestic Research

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#The main purposes of this study are to identify the degree of effect size and variables related to it, on the effect of physical therapy on shoulder adhesive capsulitis. @*Methods@#This study were collected 8 studies published between 2010.01.01. and 2020.08.01. The Analysis result confirmed 16 effect size data, the random effect model was chosen because of the heterogeneity of the data. @*Results@#First, full case showed the largest mean effect size 3.28 (p0.344). Third, Number of participants showed 15 or more effect size 4.19 (p0.425). Number of intervention showed 14 or less effect size 3.99 (p>0.061). Publication type showed thesis effect size 4.34 (p<0.003). Finally, ‘Trim and Fill’ result confirmed that the calibration effect size is 1.71 (p<0.001). @*Conclusion@#We were able to confirm that physical therapy had great effect on shoulders adhesive capsulitis, and that the effect differed according to the methods of intervention, the methods of evaluation.
