Maitland en la atención fisioterapéutica del adulto con tendinitis bicipital. Riobamba, 2019.

Tendons are thick, cylindrical bands of fibrous tissue that allow the muscles to attach to the bones and are prone to injury, Biceps tendonitis is a pathology that results from the constant friction of the tendon (PLB) in the bicipital slider causing inflammation, pain and joint limitation. The Maitland project in adult physiotherapeutic care with bicipital tendonitis applied in patients attending the physiotherapy area of the 11BCB “Galapagos” Basic Hospital, improved shoulder functionality by reducing the symptoms of pathology in patients between the ages of 25-60 years previously selected through the inclusion and exclusion criteria. According to Kelley, the mobilizations of Maitland present a quality in their marked analgesic result, while Kumar and Youssef showed an increase in the Range of Articular Movement (ROM) as an effect of the mobilizations during the physiotherapeutic intervention. The methodology was conducted to 39 patients with Bicipital Tendonitis, which were evaluated before and after application of the technique by several instrument such as the Speed Test, Visual Analog Scale (EVA), Daniels Test and goniometry. The final evaluation showed a decrease in pain with the degree of mobilization (I-II) due to its neurophysiological effect, and an increase in joint strength and amplitude with the degree (III-IV); which could determine that Maitland benefits as part of the physiotherapeutic treatment of the adult with bicipital tendonitis, thanks to the positive results.
