This short communication sought to perform an overview of research on efficacy of exercises in periarthritis shoulder/ adhesive capsulitis/ frozen shoulder. The included evidence demonstrated efficacy of exercises either individually (active range of motion exercises) or as comparison between types of exercise (scapulothoracic versus glenohumeral), comparison between exercises and other conservative treatments (supervised neglect, Maitland mobilization), exercises administered in combination (stretching and as a home exercise prescription an adjunct to other orthopaedic procedures such as hydroplasty, distension arthrography and manipulation under anesthesia. Although, limited evidence existed for its individual use, combination with other treatments might be suggested as a viable and cost-effective treatment option in orthopaedic rehabilitation of people with frozen shoulder.
