Abstract

Objective: The main objective of the study was to compare two mobilization techniques and to see which of the two techniques gave faster rate of improvement in range of motion and reduction in pain in patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. Methodology: 35 patients were selected for the study of which 28 were included as per the inclusion criterion. The 28 selected were randomly assigned into the experimental and the control groups respectively. Patients with more than 50% restriction in range of motion along with capsular pattern of restriction of ROM were included in the study. The subjects were given with Cyriax capsular stretch(in experimental group A)andPosterior glide of the shoulder(in control Group B) for 15 minutes along with active and passive exercises at the affected shoulder for 14 sittings and SPADI and VAS were noted  on the 1st,7th& 14thday. Result : This study shows  that even though extent of increase in range of motion, at day 7 and day 14, Group A showed significantly higher degree of abduction as compared to that of Group B, but when comparing both the groups in overall percentage improvement, the mean percentage change in Group A was higher as compared to Group B for all the variables, yet for all  the variables result was statistically insignificant. Conclusion:  There was no significant difference between the two approaches, so either of the techniques can be used for management of adhesive capsulitis.

Key Words : Adhesive capsulitis, Cyriax capsular stretch, Posterior glide of shoulder, Capsular restriction of pattern of movement.
