Title: A review on effect of matrix rhythm therapy in frozen shoulder. Background: Frozen shoulder is a condition that is characterized by pain, decrease in range of motion, stiffness in shoulder joint. (2,3,4) It also leads to restriction of self care activities such as grooming, combing or eating.(8) Frozen shoulder is reported to affect 2% to 5% of the general population. (2,4) It affects mostly age group above 40 years of age.(2) In frozen shoulder, capsule become hard, thick and tight and there is loss of axillary pouch and joint volume which leads to lack of motion of shoulder joint. Shoulder capsule get thick with mild chronic inflammation and fibrosis along with infiltrate. (1) Matrix rhythm therapy is a new application of vibromassage.(1,3,4) Invented by Dr. Med. Ulrich ,G. Randoll in Germany. (1) Matrix Rhythm Therapy allow cell metabolism to reactivate with depth effective rhythmical micro-extensions and contracted area of musculature will be relaxed. (1) There is growing interest in the Matrix Rhythm Therapy for the treatment of frozen shoulder due to its oscillating effect on body cells with frequency of 18-12 Hz. (1,3) As MRT have vibrating effect, it helps to increase the lymphatic venous perfusion of extracellular space in which anti edematous effect originates (4). Evidences suggest that application of Matrix Rhythm Therapy in frozen shoulder condition can reduce the pain by working at the level of body cells. Method: Review was conducted by researching on search engines like, Google Scholar, PUB Med, Web of science, Cochrane library, from 2013 to 2020 articles. Non indexed journals, Low impact Journals, Paid Journals were excluded from study. Conclusion This review concluded that the Matrix rhythm therapy is proved effective technique for patients with frozen shoulder. (1,3) MRT significantly improves blood flow in areas of its application. (3) MRT improve circulation and provide oxygen and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which help to gain ROM and reduce pain.(2,4)MRT improve Active ROM , Passive ROM and Muscle Strength. (3)
