Summary

the aim of this study is to compare the effect of Axillary Phonophoresis versus Post isometric facilitation in subjects with Adhesive capsulitis

Detailed description

Adhesive Capsulitis is a common cause of shoulder pain and disability and also a condition involving glen humeral pain and loss of motion. It is characterized by significant restriction of both active and passive motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder. The intervention strategies for AC include a trial of conservative therapy followed by more invasive procedures.it may be primary-onset is generally idiopathic or Secondary- results from known cause. Clinically, patients may present with pain and mild restriction of movement which can lead to a gross loss of function predisposing factor or surgical event . it is most frequent in women, diabetic population and patient older than 40 years .It is described as having 3 stages. Stage Ⅰ involves pain (freezing or painful stage) and lasts from 3 to 9 months and is characterized by an acute synovitis of the glen humeral joint. Stage Ⅱ (frozen or transitional stage) includes pain and restricted movement and lasts from 4 to 12 months. Stage Ⅲ (thawing stage) involves painless restriction and lasts from 12 to 42 months. Contributing factors include diabetes mellitus, stroke, thyroid disorder, dupuytren disease, complex regional pain syndrome and metabolic syndrome. Axillary Phonophoresis and Post isometric facilitation play a major role in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis so this trial was conducted to determine which one has superiority. this trial has three groups. two experimental and one control group. pain ,function, pressure pain threshold will be measured.
