Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study will be to determine the Effects of conventional physical therapy with and without scapular stabilization exercises on pain, function, scapular dyskinesia, and proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.


Description:

Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by the gradual onset of severe shoulder pain with the progressive limitation of active and passive glenohumeral range of motion. Due to capsular tightness and pain, scapular positioning and proprioception get affected. An increase in the abnormal positioning of the scapula and proprioception deficit disturbs the whole biomechanics of the shoulder joint and are the main causes of residual pain and stiffness following PT treatment. In previous studies, several studies have reported the effects of scapular stabilization exercises on pain, ROM, and function but there is a paucity of literature available on specifically addressing scapular dyskinesis and joint position sense in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Scapular stabilization techniques will help to improve proprioception and the length-tension relationship of the scapular muscles, which may effectively reduce the time taken for the rehabilitation of the patient with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint.

Intervention

Other:
conventional physiotherapy
Hot pack, TENS, and therapeutic ultrasound will be applied for 10 minutes. Then glides will be given 30 x 3 times in grades III and IV. The rest of the exercises will be prescribed as 3 sets for 10 repetitions with 2 minutes of rest between sets for 6 weeks with respect to 3 sessions per week.
scapular stabilization exercises along with conventional physiotherapy
Each stretch will be repeated 3 times. Each active exercise will be progressed from 3 sets of 10 reps to 3 sets of 15 reps. If the subject easily completed 3 sets of 15 reps of active exercise, they will go on to resisted exercises. These will be performed once a day, for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week.
