Comparing the Efficacy of Manual Therapy and Exercise To Synchronized Telerehabilitation With Self-Manual Therapy and Exercise in Treating Subacromial Pain Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Trial
(Mdpi, 2024) Celik, Erman Berk; Tuncer, Aysenur
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of manual therapy and exercise versus synchronized telerehabilitation with self-manual therapy and exercise in treating Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS). Sixty individuals diagnosed with SPS, aged 18-50 years, were randomly assigned to home exercise (HE), manual therapy (MT), and telerehabilitation (TR) groups. Treatment protocols were administered over 8 weeks and included specific exercises and therapy interventions. Outcome measures included the Visual Pain Scale (VAS), shoulder range of motion (ROM) via goniometric measurements, Quick Disability Arm-Shoulder-Hand Problems Survey (Q-DASH), and patient satisfaction. Results revealed that both MT and TR groups exhibited reduced pain, increased ROM, lower Q-DASH scores, and higher patient satisfaction than the HE group. However, no significant differences were found between the MT and TR groups regarding pain levels, ROM, Q-DASH scores, or patient satisfaction. The study concludes that both telerehabilitation and manual therapy effectively alleviate pain and are well-received by patients with SPS. Additionally, manual therapy demonstrates superiority in enhancing functional levels compared to exercise-based interventions (Registration: NCT05200130).

Long-Term Impact of Self-Mobilization Via Telerehabilitation Vs. Manual Therapy and Home Exercise on Pain and Function in Cervical Degenerative Disease
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Aygul, Gokhan; Tuncer, Aysenur; Ozaltin, Gulfem Ezgi; Celik, Erman Berk; Aygul, Bedriye Ilkay
Purpose: Cervical Degenerative Disease (CDD) commonly leads to neck pain, functional impairment, and reduced quality of life. This study aimed to compare the long-term effects of home exercise, manual therapy, and telerehabilitation-assisted treatment on pain, functionality, and patient satisfaction in individuals with CDD. Patients and methods: Sixty-six patients diagnosed with CDD were randomly assigned to three groups: home exercise (n = 23), manual therapy (n = 22), and telerehabilitation (n = 21). All groups participated in an 8-week exercise program, with the manual therapy and telerehabilitation groups receiving additional sessions twice a week. Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), pain threshold with an algometer, neck function with the Neck Disability Index and range of motion (ROM), and patient satisfaction with the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18. Results: All groups significantly improved pain, function, and ROM over time (p < 0.05). But there were no significant differences between groups at the 6-month follow-up. Manual therapy and telerehabilitation significantly enhanced patient satisfaction, particularly in communication and technical quality (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Home exercise, manual therapy, and telerehabilitation improve long-term outcomes in CDD. Manual therapy and telerehabilitation provide greater patient satisfaction, making them viable options for long-term management. Telerehabilitation can be used as an alternative when necessary.
