The effect of the treatment was shown by: sonographic examination before and after treatment, physical tests for motor skills in shoulder region, scale of pain and the range of motion (ROM).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results have high statistical significance (p&lt;0,001) for both groups.
