Summary

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) also known as frozen shoulder typically manifests to decrease range of motion (ROM) and function and increase pain in shoulder .Objective of the study is To compare the effects of Myofascial Arm Pull Technique and Post-isometric Relaxation on Pain, Range of Motion and functional disability in adhesive capsulitis after mastectomy. The study design will be a Randomized Clinical Trial that will be used to compare the effects of Myofascial arm pull technique with post isometric relaxation. Subject with adhesive capsulitis meeting the predetermined inclusion \& exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using numeric pain rating scale NPRS for pain , shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) tool for disability and Goniometer for Range of motion. Consent will be taken from patients by consent form the patients. They will be divided into two groups randomly by Random Number Generator table: Group A and Group B. For common treatment, both the groups will receive Ultrasound with a dosage of 1 MHz in frequency, continuous mode and 1.5 W/ cm2 of intensity for 10 minutes of treatment duration and Movement with mobilization will be applied for 15 times in 3 sets, and a 1- minute rest period was provided between each set. Group A will be given Post isometric relaxation technique with ultrasonic therapy. Group B will be given myofascial arm pull technique with ultrasonic. Total intervention protocol will be given for four weeks of duration 3 sessions per week with total 12 sessions. In Post isometric relaxation technique the therapist will slowly provide resistance in the direction of flexion, abduction, or external rotation, and without the subject intending to move for 15 minutes/ day, 3 times/week for 12 weeks. Similarly, myofascial arm pull technique the therapist will hold arm of the subject firmly and initial stretch will be applied in abduction and external rotation for 8-10 times in each session per day for 3 days/week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.

Interventions

OTHER

Post Isometric Relaxation

Post-isometric relaxation (PIR) is a soft tissue stretching technique used by many health care professionals to lengthen both acute and chronic short muscles.

OTHER

Myofascial arm pull technique

Myofascial therapy is described as the promotion of psychophysiological, neurological and structural adaptive capability as multiplexed via the myofascial system. Fascia covers all body structures, particularly muscles and their constituent myofibrils
