Clinical Trial Summary

Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal condition. Painful gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule.Scapular position and movement perception both effected by shoulder adhesive capsulitis, change in the scapular kinematics in the form of an increase in scapular lateral rotation, and reduced joint sense for shoulder movements in adhesive capsulitis. Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing Adhesive capsulitis including Electrotherapeutic modalities, kaltenborn mobilization, Maitland's mobilization,Mulligan's mobilization and Manipulation. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatments in combination or in isolation.Few studies on proprioception in rotator cuff tear, sub acromial impingment syndrome, but no obseved effects of scapular mobilization on shoulder proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.Physical therapist focus on lowering pain and ROM limitations in the shoulder,but often neglect to evaluate proprioception/joint position sense as well as the roleof scapula in adhesive capsulitis during treatment.If found effective,this study can help in probviding treatment protocols for improving proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulits.


Clinical Trial Description

Adhesive capsulitis is a common MSK condition with an insidious onset accompanied by stiffness and trouble sleeping on the affected side.This condition effects General population 2-5% globally, diabetics 10-20%. Women have a significantly higher incidence males 70% of cases are female.Adhesive capsulitis is a painful, gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule. The deficit in shoulder proprioception associated to pain and destruction to specific tissues including labrum, peri-capsular m/s ligaments & joint capsule.Scapular position and movement perception both affected by shoulder adhesive capsulitis, change in the scapular kinematics in the form of an increase in scapular lateral rotation, and reduced joint sense for shoulder movements in adhesive capsulitis. Scapulothoracic joint mobilization improve kinematic of shoulder including scapulohumeral rhythm. This mobilization changes the relative position of scapula and reduce stress on Gleno-humeral joint.There are still many unanswered questions in the domain of position and movement senses, particularly with regard to rehabilitation of shoulder proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Hence the current study will investigate the effects of scapular mobilization on shoulder proprioception and pain in patients with adhesive capsulitis. This study includes Subjects with nonspecific adhesive capsulitis without specific identifiable etiology (i.e. infection, inflammatory disease) ,40-65 years of age both males and females and chronic shoulder pain > 3 months.The selection of subjects will be using non-probability purposive sampling technique.Participants will be randomized using sealed envelope method and allocated to one of the 2 groups. The data collection tools for pain is VAS, for ROM and PROPRIOCEPTION is Goniometer and for disability is SPADI. The time duration for treatment protocol is total of 12 sessions, 3 sessions per week for 4 consecutive weeks for approximately 25-30 mins. ;
