Summary

This study examines the efficacy of two forms of therapy for Adhesive Capsulitis, a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. It is also commonly known as "Frozen Shoulder".

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis, Shoulder

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

The Spencer technique

The Spencer technique, which consists of seven different manual movements intended to increase shoulder mobility and lessen pain, was used to treat the participants in this group. The method seeks to improve blood flow, loosen up the shoulder joint and soft tissues, and reduce any tightness or impingement that is causing pain in the sub-acromial area. By re-establishing appropriate shoulder function and movement patterns, the Spencer approach is commonly used to treat disorders including adhesive capsulitis.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

isotonic workouts

This group's members engaged in isotonic workouts that emphasized forward flexion and extension motions. Both concentric (shortening the muscle) and eccentric (lengthening the muscle) motions were used in these exercises. These exercises were designed to increase shoulder range of motion and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. People with Adhesive Capsulitis may have less pain and have better shoulder function if they perform isotonic workouts, which increase muscular strength and stability.
