Abstract

Introduction: The term “frozen shoulder” was first introduced by Codman in 1934. He described a painful shoulder condition of insidious onset that was associated with stiffness and difficulty sleeping on the affected side. Codman also identified the marked reduction in forward elevation and external rotation that are the hallmarks of the disease (Richard Dias et al, 2005). Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Muscle Energy Techniques along with conventional Therapy on Pain, ROM, Muscle Strength, Proprioception, Disability, Anxiety & Depression, quality of life and Mindfulness in patients with diabetic frozen shoulder. Methodology: 31 Patients were treated with Muscle Energy Technique (MET), Stabilization Exercise and Moist Heat Therapy. All the patients were selected after informed consent. These patients were interviewed by direct method. The patients were assessed in 0 (zero) week and reassessed in 4 (four) weeks and 8 (eight) weeks of treatment programme. Every 0 week 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment programme, pain, ROM, shoulder strength, shoulder Proprioception & disability were recorded. These treatment protocols will be given five days per week for eight weeks. Conclusion: Our study concluded that Muscle Energy Technique (MET), Stabilization Exercise and Moist Heat Therapy (MHT) in Patients with Diabetic Frozen Shoulder showed significant improvement in pain, Range of motion muscular strength and joint position sense in 4th weeks & 8th weeks of treatment programme.
