Adhesive Capsulitis, Shoulder
Conditions
Brief summary
This study examines the efficacy of two forms of therapy for Adhesive Capsulitis, a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. It is also commonly known as Frozen Shoulder.
Detailed description
Patients between the ages of 30 and 55 were randomly assigned to one of two groups for the trial held at the Saleem Free Hospital Okara and Dar-ul-Shifa Hospital. Group 2 engaged in isotonic exercises that emphasized concentric and eccentric motions of forward flexion and extension, whereas Group 1 was given the Spencer approach, which involved seven different movements. A goniometer and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale were used to measure the range of motion and pain. SPSS 20 was used to analyze the data and assess how well the treatments worked. The findings provided light on how well manual therapy and exercise compare in terms of reducing pain and increasing shoulder movement in people with adhesive capsulitis.
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCTThe Spencer technique
The Spencer technique, which consists of seven different manual movements intended to increase shoulder mobility and lessen pain, was used to treat the participants in this group. The method seeks to improve blood flow, loosen up the shoulder joint and soft tissues, and reduce any tightness or impingement that is causing pain in the sub-acromial area. By re-establishing appropriate shoulder function and movement patterns, the Spencer approach is commonly used to treat disorders including adhesive capsulitis.
COMBINATION_PRODUCTisotonic workouts
This group's members engaged in isotonic workouts that emphasized forward flexion and extension motions. Both concentric (shortening the muscle) and eccentric (lengthening the muscle) motions were used in these exercises. These exercises were designed to increase shoulder range of motion and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. People with Adhesive Capsulitis may have less pain and have better shoulder function if they perform isotonic workouts, which increase muscular strength and stability.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Numeric Pain Rating Scale | 12 Months | (NPRS) was used to measure the subjects' level of pain. This scale helps measure the amount of pain alleviation attained with each intervention by allowing participants to rank their discomfort from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). |
| goniometer | 12 Months | A goniometer, which measures the angle of joint movement, was used to measure the shoulder's range of motion (ROM). Improvements in shoulder mobility, which is frequently limited in adhesive capsulitis, were assessed with the aid of this assessment. |
