Mobilization With Movement Techniques of Shoulder Girdle in Patients With Chronic Adhesive Capsulitis

Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Mobilization With Movement Techniques of Shoulder Girdle on Pain, Range of Motion and Function in Patients With Chronic Adhesive Capsulitis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check Effects of mobilization with movement techniques of shoulder girdle on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic adhesive capsulitis so that we can devise a treatment protocol Total Thirty subjects will be included in this study .Out of total 15 will be randomly allocated via lottery method in group 1 and 15 will be allocated in group 2. Group 1 will receive hot packs for 15 minutes for warming up, shoulder girdle mobilization with movement techniques along with other shoulder girdle joints mobilizations (sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, cervicothoracic and scapulothoracic joints) and conventional physical therapy treatment while group 2 will receive only hot pack for 15 minutes and conventional physical therapy management. All patients will be treated for 12 sessions, two sessions per week for 6 weeks. Shoulder pain and disability index consist of two parts, part one which assesses pain severity and part two which assesses functional disability. Study setting will be suraiya majeed trust hospital. Assessment will be done at 0 weeks, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks. Data was analysed by using SPSS version 26.

Clinical Trial Description

The term "adhesive capsulitis describes the condition in which there is a restriction of active and passive ranges of the shoulder joint due to the thickening of the synovial capsule, pain, and stiffness. Our ability to interact with our surroundings is made possible by the shoulder's exceptional range of motion (ROM), which makes it a special anatomical structure. This study aims to determine the effects of mobilization with movement techniques of shoulder girdle on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic adhesive capsulitis. Patients of both genders, idiopathic adhesive capsulitis, age group between 25-55 years, minimum six weeks chronicity of adhesive capsulitis, and patients with positive Apley's scratch test for adhesive capsulitis will be included, Patients having bilateral adhesive capsulitis, fractures of the Shoulder girdle, Rheumatoid arthritis/ osteoarthritis, severe joint pain unrelieved by rest and any bony or soft tissue systemic disease will be excluded In the previous literature there is study gap that provides a comprehensive treatment strategy for patients having chronic adhesive capsulitis The aim of this study is to apply MWM in patients having chronic adhesive capsulitis. A regional interdependence approach to shoulder dysfunction will be used in the treatment plan, taking into account the fact that glenohumeral function depends on scapular function, which in turn can also be affected by upper kinetic chain segments depending upon the patient's presentation, because of the close relation of surrounding joints (sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, and scapulothoracic joints) with glenohumeral joint to gain complete effective shoulder ranges. That is why there is a great need for this study and in previous studies primarily acute patients were included therefore now it is necessary to draw attention to chronicity in adhesive capsulitis patients. Mobilization with movement at the glenohumeral joint for improving flexion, abduction internal and external rotation. 3 sets of painless glides of 10 repetitions were given, with 1-minute rest between sets. and progression was added Both groups received hot packs for 15 minutes for warming up and conventional physical therapy treatment ;
