Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Clinical diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Age between 30 to 70 years. Shoulder pain for at least 3 months. Both male and female participants. Patients with unilateral adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Limited range of motion (ROM) in at least two planes (e.g., flexion, abduction, external rotation, internal rotation). Willingness to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Adhesive capsulitis patients with infection or fracture. Post-shoulder dislocation complications. Adhesive capsulitis due to neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, spinal cord injury). Presence of arthritis, including osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Subjects with rotator cuff tears. Participation in other concurrent rehabilitation programs. Metabolic bone disease, neoplastic or cancer diagnoses.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain Intensity Measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The goal is to assess the reduction in pain levels after the intervention (RIT + conventional physiotherapy vs. conventional physiotherapy alone).Timepoint: 12 sessions, typically over a 4-week period—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Range of Motion (ROM) Measured by: Goniometer Time Points: Baseline: Month 0 (Before the intervention begins) Post-treatment: Month 1 (After 12 sessions) Muscle Strength Measured by: Hand-held Dynamometer Time Points: Baseline: Month 0 (Before the intervention begins) Post-treatment: Month 1 (After 12 sessions) Shoulder Function and Disability Measured by: Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) Time Points: Baseline: Month 0 (Before the intervention begins) Post-treatment: Month 1 (After 12 sessions)Timepoint: 12 sessions, typically over a 4-week period—
