Summary

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a common painful disorder associated with diminishing glenohumeral movement. This has led to the need for an evidence-based approach to assess the isokinetic strength and endurance of shoulder muscles in such disease conditions.The main aim of the current study was to determine whether isokinetic dynamometric values of peak torque (PT) and fatigue index of shoulder muscles are different between patients with AC in the recovery phase and the healthy subjects.

Detailed description

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a common painful disorder associated with diminishing glenohumeral movement. This has led to the need for an evidence-based approach to assess the isokinetic strength and endurance of shoulder muscles in such disease conditions.The main aim of the current study was to determine whether isokinetic dynamometric values of peak torque (PT) and fatigue index of shoulder muscles are different between patients with AC in the recovery phase and the healthy subjects.The study involved a total of sixty subjects within the age group 40 and 60 years comprising thirty in the recovery phase of AC and thirty healthy controls. The Biodex System 3 Isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure shoulder abductor, internal rotator and external rotator peak torques and fatigue indices.
