Adhesive capsulitis, Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, Visual analogue scale, Ultrasound TherapyAbstract
Background: Adhesive Capsulitis is a benign, self-limiting condition of unknown etiology characterized by painful and limited active and passive glenohumeral range of motion at least two directions most notably shoulder abduction and external rotation. Adhesive Capsulitis involves a limitation of range of motion secondary to glenohumeral capsular tightening and scarring.
Method: 90 Subjects will be selected, as per inclusion and exclusion criteria, between age group 40 to 60 years. The subjects were divided into three groups- Group A was control group and subjects was given Short wave diathermy. Group B was given Short wave diathermy, PNF and Ultrasound Therapy. Group C was given Short wave diathermy, Therapeutic exercises along with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Total 15 treatment sessions was given, for 5 times a week, for 3 consecutive weeks. Readings were taken by using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) for pain and Goniometry to check Range of motion (Abduction and external rotation). At the end of 3th week analysis was done using paired and unpaired t-test and significant results were found.
Results And Conclusion: Capsular PNF along with ultrasound therapy is beneficial in reducing pain and improving ROM of shoulder joint in patients with Adhesive Capsulitis of shoulder. Capsular PNF along with Ultrasound achieved greater improvements than therapeutic exercises along with TENS. The results of present study indicate that there was highly significant (p<0.05) decrease in pain
