Summary

This study aim was to compare the effectiveness of manual treatment and proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilitation (PNF) techniques in patients with adhesive capsulitis. One group will receive classical physical therapy including hotpack,ultrason and in additon manual treatment application. Other group receive classical physical therapy including hotpack, ultrason and in addition PNF techniques. Two group will be made wand exercise at home three times a day 10 times at one session.

Detailed description

There is no consensus physical therapy treatment protocol in adhesive capsulitis. It is because it etiology and pathophysiology is unknown. Also it has different clinical stage. PNF techniques often used by physical therapist in adhesive capsulitis aim increasing range of motion, improving muscle strenght and decreasing pain. PNF techniques improves neuromusculer control of central nervous system via stimulating muscle spindles, golgi tendon organs and other receptors in connective tissue. However, there is limited evidence effectivenes of PNF techniques in adhesive capsulitis. Other technique often used by physical therapist in adhesive capsulitis is manual treatment. Manual treatment decreases pain and improves function. It re-arrange glenohumeral joint arthrocinematic. It diminishes capsule fibrosis. There is no reasearh aimed comparing the PNF and manual treatment. Our aim was to compare the effectiveness of manual treatment and PNF techiques in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
