The objectives of the present study were: (1) to determine the efficacy of skin heat transfer in ricebag treatments among shoulder injury patients, and (2) to determine the effect of active range of motions (AROM) on shoulder injury patients. This study used the repeated measure design to achieve its objectives. A total of 30 samples comprising of males (n = 19) and females (n = 11) (20 experiments, 10 controls) were recruited into the study, where the mean age for males was 43.21 years old (SD = 15.393), and the mean age for females was 37.00 years old (SD = 11.653). The mean weight of males was 76.53 kg (SD = 9.930) and the mean weight of females was 61.36 kg (SD = 5.679). The mean height of males was 166.05 cm (SD = 6.892) and the mean height of females was 161.76 cm (SD = 6.087). There was a significant difference in temperatures between the ricebag and Hydrocollator (p \ 0.05), but there was no significant differences in temperatures on the skin interface between the Ricebags and Hydrocollator (p = 0.512). There were no significant differences on AROM (Flexion, Extension and Abduction) for both the Ricebag and Hydrocollator (p = 0.300, = 0.548, = 0.305). However, there was a significant difference between the ROM and pre- and posttests after 20 min of treatment (p \ 0.05). In conclusion, Ricebags gave a similar effect as the Hydrocollator on skin interface temperatures and showed a modest improvement on AROM. Hence, Ricebags can be considered as one of the treatment tools in back pain management.

Hence, the objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the difference in temperatures between the ricebag and skin interface, and (2) to determine the effect of heat compression using ricebags to pain sensation in chronic back pain patients. This study used the repeated measure design to achieve its objectives. A total of 40 male (30 experiments, 10 controls) subjects were recruited into the study where the mean age was 34.3 years old (SD = 8.11) and the mean weight was 72.63 kg (SD = 11.2). There was a sig- nificant difference in temperature between the ricebags and the hydrocullator (p\0.05), but there were no significant differences in temperature on the skin interface between the ricebag and hydrocullator (p = 0.716). On the effects of pain sensation, there was a significant difference in visual analogue scale (VAS) within groups for both ricebags and hydrocullator (p \ 0.05), but there was no significant difference in VAS between ricebags and the hydrocullator (p = 0.303). In con- clusion, ricebags gave similar effects as the hydrocullator on skin interface tem- perature and a modest improvement in pain perception. Thus, ricebags can be considered as one of the treatment tools in back pain management.

Thermal therapy has been found to give beneficial effects for chronic injury. Since ricebags were found to hold heat better, it could be a good therapy modality for treating chronic back pain injury. The objectives of this study were to (1) deter- mine the differences in temperature between the ricebags and the skin interface and (2) determine the effects of ricebags on the trunk and hip range of motion. To achieve the objectives of this study, two statistical analysis procedures were used. The analysis was conducted with the repeated-measure ANOVA and also the independent t test. A total of 40 subjects from Tuanku Mizan Military Hospital were recruited using the purposing sampling technique. Their mean age was 34.65 (±9.622) years with a mean weight of 72.23 (±11.44) kg. The results showed a significant difference in temperature between the ricebag and the hydrocullator (p \ 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in temperature of the skin interface between the ricebag and the hydrocullator (p = 0.732). On the other hand, although there was improvement in trunk and hip range of motions, there was no significant difference found in trunk and hip range of motions for both groups. Hence, both the ricebag and hydrocullator gave the same effect on skin interface and on trunk and hip range of motions in the patients. Thus, the ricebag can be used as an alternative in chronic back pain management.
