Abstract :
Background: Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition associated with fibrosis, progressive pain, decreased range of motion (ROMs) which leads towards severe shoulder pain, stiffness and infirmity. Most common in diabetic patients. Adhesive capsulitis is a clinical problem as well as a combination of psychological, physical and social factors that can lead to disability, may contribute to other conditions such as neck pain, chest pain. To deal with these complications Physical Therapy can play an important role.
Aims and Objectives: Therefore, this study is designed to see the effectiveness of these Physical Therapy Treatments (METs, Joint Mobilization, hot pack) for pain and decreased ROM in the patients of frozen shoulder.
Methodology: A sample size of 30 subjects was collected from four clinical settings of Faisalabad, divided into treatment and Control group through randomization. Outcomes of attentiveness are pain, ROM and disability. Universal Goniometer and NPRS was used for outcome measures. SPADI for shoulder disability. SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis and conclusion was made accordingly.
Results: Joint Mobilization showed significant results in frozen shoulder.
Conclusion: Joint mobilization with METs and hot pack are the potential treatment option for patients of frozen shoulder in all adult population regardless of harms and side effects. However a bigger sample size and a longer duration of the study are needed.
The conclusion appeared as, the joint mobilization shows more significant effects when use with METs and hot pack.
Key Terms: Frozen shoulder, Adhesive capsulitis, joint mobilization, METs, ROM, Hot pack.
