Summary

The study is designed to determine the effects of moderate physical activity on adhesive capsulitis in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.

Detailed description

This study aims to investigate the effect of additional Physical activity programmes in patients with Diabetic Frozen Shoulder (DFS). Physical activity can help people with diabetes achieve a variety of goals, including increased cardiorespiratory fitness, increased vigour, improved glycemic control, decreased insulin resistance, improved lipid profile, blood pressure (BP) reduction and maintenance of weight loss Frozen shoulder syndrome, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a clinical entity that refers to a stiff and painful shoulder causing major functional impairment. It affects women more than men, and is mostly associated with diabetes mellitus as a systemic condition. . Frozen shoulder may be either primary idiopathic or secondary to a systemic disease, such as diabetes mellitus. The adoption and maintenance of physical activity are critical for blood glucose management and overall health in individuals with diabetes. In this Position Statement, we provide a clinically oriented review and evidence based recommendations regarding physical activity and exercise in people with type 2 diabetes.

Conditions

• Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Moderate Physical Activity + Conventional Physical Therapy	Hot pack and TENS for 10 minutes at the affected shoulder. Passive shoulder mobilizations were performed initially at pain free range in anterior, posterior, and inferior direction (10 reps x 1 set). Shoulder rolls, pendulum stretch, cross body arm stretch and towel stretch (10 reps x 1 set) were actively performed by the patient with-in limits of pain Moderate physical activity on treadmill, brisk walk was performed 5 days a week for 30 minutes at 4 mph speed (3-6 METs) with warm up for a 5 minutes at low speed and then at the end speed was also decreased for a 5 minutes
