“…And it also encouraged tendonbone junction healing by enhancing tissue performance. [14] Therapist had given carpometacarpal glide which was supported by Karen Maloney Backstrom study in the year 2002 that is Mobilization with movement as an adjunct intervention in a patient with complicated de Quervain's tenosynovitis which demonstrated that an efficient and successful physical therapy method was involving Movement With Mobilization with active mobility of the wrist and 1st carpometacarpal joint. A promising improvement was noted in the range of motion and pain on Numeric pain rating scale {TABLE 1 AND 2}.…”

Objective And Clinical Feature: A 34 year old female presented with the chief complaint of left side wrist and thumb pain at the base of styloid of radius while lifting baby and twisting movements. Patient reported that her pain started 4 month ago that increases gradually during post partum months. Her NPRS scoring was 7/10 when she reported to physiotherapy OPD which affected her activities of daily living. Intervention And Outcome: The combination of conservative treatment including Movement with Mobilization, Ultrasound and patient education. Outcome measures including NPRS and DASH. Patient symptoms resolved in 3 weeks and follow up reported no recurrence of wrist pain. Result: The patient has shown marked improvement in pain. Range of motion and DASH score from 42 to 7 which signifies good condition of patient after intervention. Key words: Movement with Mobilization, Dequervain Tenosynovitis, Post Partum, Ultrasound.

“…Our ndings are consistent with previous studies that demonstrated low-intensity ultrasound's effectiveness in lowering patients' pain following acute soft tissue injury. [18] , [19] , [20] Victoria [21] and Andrew [22] discovered that ultrasound therapy for patients with Achilles tendon illness dramatically decreased pain compared to pre-treatment levels. And in a different study, the VAS pain score started to decline only in the second week compared to baseline in patients with lateral epicondylitis disease after 8 weeks of LIPUS treatment at a frequency of 1 MHz and an intensity of 1 W/cm2.…”

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of single-session combined LIPUS, magnetic field therapy, and the two light therapies (invisible infrared and Blue) using a multifunctional device in pain management after acute soft tissue injuries among athletes. Methods During the period of Feb-May 2023, a case-control study was conducted in Sweden among one hundred (100) athletes with various soft tissue injuries. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity was used to compare between the LipusPlus therapy group and the Sham group. Results The analysis revealed that the LipusPlus therapy had a more pronounced impact on pain reduction compared to the Sham treatment. The LipusPlus group reported greater VAS reduction (2.460 on the VAS scale) compared to the Sham group (0.120 on the VAS scale). No adverse events were reported. Conclusion Combination therapy with devices like LipusPlus is a promising safe and effective alternative therapy for early pain management among athletes with acute soft tissue injuries which addresses the unique needs of athletes for rapid recovery by a potential synergic effect of multiple modalities. Combination therapy can be a valuable armament in physiotherapy and sports medicine arsenal.

“…The US beam produces longitudinal waves that cause thermal changes in the tissue. Thermal effects on the US include: increased tissue temperature, increased local blood flow, and increased extensibility of collagen fibers (Papadopoulos & Mani, 2020). Joint mobilization positively influences neuroimmune responses in neuromusculoskeletal conditions (Lutke Schipholt et al, 2021).…”

Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) has a high prevalence among the population. NSLBP not only affects individuals but also has an impact on decreasing work productivity and ultimately affecting the economic sector. There are several multimodal that can be given to treat NSLBP. This case series is a preliminary study to determine the effectiveness of the combination of ultrasound therapy, stretching training, lumbar joint mobilization, and lumbopelvic stabilization training in NSLBP in improving pain and reducing back disability. The intervention was given three times in 1 week for four weeks (12 sessions) to 3 respondents. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed using a numeric rating scale (NRS) to measure pain reduction and the Indonesian version of the modified Oswestry disability index (MODI) to assess the decrease in lower back disability in NSLBP. Based on the results of the case series, there was a decrease in the average NRS value from 4.67 to 1.93 (with a difference in the average decrease of 2.74), and there was a decrease in the average MODI value from 32 to 13.67 (with a difference in the mean decrease of 18.33). The results of this case series provide information that the combination of UST, stretching exercise, joint mobilization, and lumbopelvic stabilization exercise is beneficial in reducing pain and disability in NSLBP. This case series is a preliminary study on the multimodal combination in the treatment of NSLBP. It is hoped that further experimental studies will be conducted to prove this combination's effectiveness in treating individuals with NSLBP.
