About this study

In reference study, patients with Adhesive capsulitis were given the option to examine the immediate effects of posterior capsule stretching and scapular mobilization. They came to the conclusion that extending the posterior capsule improved shoulder range of motion. Current study will assess all shoulder movements and also showing effect on Quality of life of patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Treatment and study plan

Mobilization

Other

Hot Pack for 5mins,Active range of motion exercises (10 reps x 3 sets),Home plan include: wand exercises, wall-walking exercises, pendulum exercises,towel stretch exercises, Cross Body Adduction (10reps x 2 sets, each)Cold pack for 5 mins.

Maitland's Mobilization: Inferior glide (10x3), posterior glide, (10 reps x 3 sets), anterior glide (10 reps x 3 sets)

Cyriax capsular stretching

Other

Hot Pack for 5mins,Active range of motion exercises (10 reps x 3 sets),Home plan include: wand exercises, wall-walking exercises, pendulum exercises,towel stretch exercises, Cross Body Adduction (10reps x 2 sets, each)Cold pack for 5 mins.

Anterior, Posterior and inferior capsular stretching would be performed. Each stretch should be held15-30 seconds and repeated 2 to 4 times.

Primary outcomes

  1. Numeric Pain rating scale

    Time frame: 4th week

    The Numeric Pain rating scale is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain.

  2. Range of motion (shoulder flexion)

    Time frame: 4th week

    changes in shoulder flexion Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured

  3. Range of motion (shoulder extension)

    Time frame: 4th week

    changes in shoulder extension Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured

  4. Range of motion (shoulder abduction)

    Time frame: 4th week

    changes in shoulder abduction Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured

  5. Range of motion (shoulder external rotation)

    Time frame: 4th week

    changes in shoulder external rotation Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured

  6. Range of motion (internal rotation)

    Time frame: 4th week

    changes in shoulder internal rotation Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured
