Clinical Trial Summary

This study focus on the rehabilitation of patients with frozen shoulder through a manual technique called "Spencer MET".The purpose of this approach is to reduce the pain and improve the ROM and quality of life.

Description:

By comparing the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation versus the Spencer technique in patients with adhesive capsuilitis is to determine which treatment approach will yields better outcomes in order to reduce the detrimental effects of disease process.Spencer METs consist of series of seven steps taken in order to decrease pain and stiffness in sholder regiegionn.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
(TENS) is a method of pain relief involving the use of a mild electrical current

Diagnostic Test:
• Muscle Energy Technique
n Spencer's technique, there are seven steps as follows: shoulder extension along with elbow flexion, shoulder flexion with elbow extension, circumduction with compression, circumduction with distraction, shoulder abduction and internal rotation with elbow flexion, shoulder adduction and external rotation with elbow

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS):	It is tool widely used to measure the intensity of pain and discomfort.VAS effectively used in randomized controlled trials for outcome measures,consisting of 10 cm straight line from 0 to 10.0 represents "No pain" and 10 represent "Worst pain". Patients can mark their severity of pain.	12 Months
Primary	Goniometer	Goniometer is instrument used to measure the range of motion of a joint.	12 months
