Primary outcomePrimary: Changes in Range of Motion of Elbow — 138.31; 136.13; 138.00; 135.56 degrees
Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of two treatments of Physiotherapy: one with joint traction, passive muscles stretching and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), and the other with education sessions and home exercises, for the improvement of the ROM, biceps strength, perimeter of arm and the perception of pain in PwH and arthropathy of the elbow.
