Brief summary

The aim of this research is to determine the effects of capsular stretching versus passive joint mobilization on Pain, range of motion and Quality of life in patients with Idiopathic Adhesive capsulitis.

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

OTHERMobilization

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)

OTHERCyriax capsular stretching

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.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Numeric Pain rating scale4th weekThe 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.
Range of motion (shoulder flexion)4th weekchanges in shoulder flexion Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured
Range of motion (shoulder extension)4th weekchanges in shoulder extension Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured
Range of motion (shoulder abduction)4th weekchanges in shoulder abduction Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured
Range of motion (shoulder external rotation)4th weekchanges in shoulder external rotation Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured
Range of motion (internal rotation)4th weekchanges in shoulder internal rotation Range of motion from baseline to final session was measured
