Filter by:Adhesive capsulitis, is a common problem characterized by the insidious onset of glenohumeral pain and limitation of shoulder motion in all planes. Clinically, frozen shoulder could be divided into freezing, frozen and thawing stage. The treatments of frozen shoulder are mainly conservative, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy. Due to debilitating pain at a certain stage and protracted clinical course, intra-articular corticosteroid injection in the early stages of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis has long been used to treat adhesive capsulitis with satisfactory result. However, intra-articular steroid injection still raise some controversy and is still considered too invasive for some patients. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a safe and non-invasive alternative. LLLT can employ photo-biomodulation effects to help normalize cellular functions and is considered to have partial effect in many shoulder soft tissue disorders. Possible mechanisms include increasing adenosine triphosphate production, fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. One prospective cohort study has shown that LLLT can be effective in the management of the early phase (less than 6 weeks of disease onset) of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder in elderly who failed to respond to conventional physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and improvement was found maintained up to 2 years. To this date, no randomized controlled study has been made to establish the possible role of LLLT as an adjuvant therapy on adhesive capsulitis. Also, no study has researched the effect of LLLT on patient with later stage/chronic phase of adhesive capsulitis. The objective of this paper is to report the clinical result of a study on the efficacy of LLLT as an add-on therapy in the management of adhesive capsulitis.
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with steroid via posterior approach versus hydrodilatation with steroid with axillary nerve injection for treating patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Introduction: Adhesive capsulities or Frozen shoulder is one of the common causes of shoulder pain and disability in the upper extremity. It affects the functions of glenohumeral joint, limiting both active and passive movements of the shoulder. One way of non-surgical treatment method that has been receiving attention recently is extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). ESWT is a pulsed sound wave, characterized by short duration, high pressure amplitude, and relatively low tensile wave component. ESWT has beenrepotreatingtreat a variety of pain conditions effectively and safely. Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to determine whether ESWT could be effective in thetreatment of adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder.
Study 1 - Adhesive Capsulitis Study - 90 patients The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of patients with symptoms of adhesive capsulitis, primary and secondary, between three groups: I) Physical Therapy alone; II) ERMI Shoulder Flexionater® alone; III) PT + Device. Study 2 - Postoperative Shoulder Stiffness Study - 90 patients The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of patients with post-operative stiffness indicative of secondary adhesive capsulitis between three groups: I) Physical Therapy alone; II) ERMI Shoulder Flexionater® alone; III) PT + Device. Study 3 - Stiffness after MUA Study - enroll all eligible patients (goal of at least 15) The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of patients who have undergone manipulation under anesthesia or lysis of adhesions between three groups: I) Physical Therapy alone; II) ERMI Shoulder Flexionater® alone; III) PT + Device.
This randomized control trial aims to compare the effect of myofascial release of subscapularis along with shoulder mobilization VS mobilization alone among patients with adhesive capsulitis. The study will be conducted at physiotherapy outpatient department (OPD) of Sindh Institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation, and Dow University Ojha Campus, Karachi. According to study criteria, 70 patients with sub-acute adhesive capsulitis will be selected through a non-randomized purposive sampling technique by a consultant physician. After taking informed consent, participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups through the sealed envelope method. Both the groups will receive conventional treatment while Group 1 will be given an additional treatment of myofascial release of subscapularis through ischemic compression technique. Total 6 treatment sessions will be provided and assessment will be done at baseline and end of the 6th session.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of muscle energy technique on adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy.
Total of 30 patients are selected according to inclusion criteria by convenient sampling and randomly allocated by sealed envelop method into two groups. Group 1 is treated with Muscle energy technique(Post isometric relaxation) and Group 2 is treated with Grade II,III Kaltenborn mobilizations and both groups also receives conventional therapy in form of Codman exercise and Wall ladder exercises.Data will be collected at baseline then after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks of intervention.
Adhesive capsulitis is a fairly common orthopedic condition that causes pain and loss of range of motion. There are a variety of ways to treat adhesive capsulitis, one of them being an intra-articular steroid injection. This is done to help decrease the inflammatory response caused by adhesive capsulitis. In this study, all participants will receive an intra-articular glenohumeral injection of ZILRETTA and will be followed up with at four time points over 1 year to observe pain, function and range of motion following the injection.
This study will compare shoulder range of motion assessment using the Kinect motion tracking system vs goniometer in patients with adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) undergoing ultrasound-guided capsular distention procedures (standard of care). The investigators hypothesize that, for shoulder adhesive capsulitis, the Kinect Motion Analysis 2.0 system will provide reliable results in a shorter and more efficient amount of time in comparison to traditional goniometer methods.
