Summary

To determine the technique that will have better effects in realigning the muscle kinematics and to normalize the muscle activity along with reducing muscle stiffness with mobilizations techniques

Detailed description

There is a very limited literature available Active release technique (ART) and Post Facilitation Stretch (PFS) in frozen shoulder. Additionally there is a very limited literature on the evaluation of ART in comparison with PFS in adhesive capsulitis of diabetic patient. Disease such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) etc that cause stiffness of the shoulder joint also present with altered muscle activity, that in long run becomes one of the main causes of reduces joint range of motion. With this study, we will be able to determine the technique that will have better effects in realigning the muscle kinematics and to normalize the muscle activity along with reducing muscle stiffness with mobilizations techniques. This study will also fulfill that research gap and will provide clinicians with an alternative approach in treatment of adhesive capsulitis.

Conditions

• Adhesive Capsulitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Post facilitation stretch	Post facilitation stretch with maitland mobilization Grade I \& II Maitland mobilization of shoulder joint in 1st and 2nd week progressing to Grade III oscillatory mobilization of shoulder joint in 3rd week. It will further progress to Grade IV Maitland oscillatory mobilizations in the 4th or 5th week. Treatment will be provided 3 session/week for 6 weeks with 40 minutes/session
OTHER	Active release technique	Active release technique with maitland mobilization Grade I \& II Maitland mobilization of shoulder joint in 1st and 2nd week progressing to Grade III oscillatory mobilization of shoulder joint in 3rd week. It will further progress to Grade IV Maitland oscillatory mobilizations in the 4th or 5th week. Treatment will be provided 3 session/week for 6 weeks with 40 minutes/session
