Abstrakt: Aim: To investigate and compare satisfaction with the physical therapy in patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint and concomitant thoracic myofascial pain syndrome undergoing outpatient and home programs. Materials and Methods: The study involved 76 participants. Shoulder joint mobility and pain in myofascial trigger points were assessed before and after the physical therapy program. Scale to measure patient satisfaction with physical therapy was used after the program. Patients of both groups received physical therapist consultations. The first group of patients received end-range mobilization (performed by a physical therapist) and performed ischemic compression (without any assistance). The second group of patients performed therapeutic exercises and ischemic compression without any assistance at home. The duration of the program in both groups comprised 3 weeks. Results: Mobility and pain indicators were improved in both groups. However, the results of the second assessment were better in the first group. Physical therapy satisfaction scores were high in both groups, but the first group had statistically better results in four questionnaire items and in the total score. Me (25%; 75%) indicators of the total satisfaction score comprised 85 (84.75; 85) points in the first group and 78 (77.75; 79) points in the second group. Conclusions: The patients who received consultations, end-range mobilization, and performed ischemic compression had a higher level of satisfaction as compared to the patients who attended consultations and performed therapeutic exercises and ischemic compression.
