Effects of Neuromuscular Physiotherapy on Pain, Range of Motion, and Function in Shoulder‐Related Disorders: A Meta‐Analysis and Systematic Review

. Neuromuscular therapy significantly reduced pain (SMD [95% CI] = -2.82 [-4.79, -0.85]), with greater improvements than did the control (SMD [95% CI] = -0.75 [-1.35, -0.15]). Improvements were observed in shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, and external rotation, with external rotation showing the most significant benefit versus controls. Neuromuscular therapy improved functional scores (SMD [95% CI] = -1.95 [-3.71, -0.19]) and outperformed the control (SMD [95% CI] = -0.65 [-1.25, -0.05]). This study revealed that neuromuscular physical therapy can effectively relieve pain in patients with shoulder disorders, improve joint mobility, and enhance function. These findings support its use as an adjunctive therapy in conventional rehabilitation.
