Summary

Our study aims to investigate the effects of exercise training on pain, range of motion, functionality and shoulder architecture in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis
  • Exercise
  • Ultrasonography

Interventions

OTHER

electrotherapy treatment

Patients in the electrotherapy group will receive 15 sessions of TENS, hotpack, and ultrasound, 45 minutes each, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. The treatment program is planned for 20 minutes of TENS, 15 minutes of hotpack, and 10 minutes of ultrasound.

OTHER

Exercise training

In addition to electrotherapy, the patients in the study group will receive 15 sessions (45 minutes, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks) of exercise training consistent with the literature. Exercise training includes programs to increase joint range of motion and mobility at the pain threshold and to restore functionality. Following electrotherapy, upper extremity normal range of motion exercises, anterior and posterior capsule stretching exercises, pendulum exercises, wand exercises, isometric training in 3 planes, and isotonic strengthening exercises will be applied. Five exercises will be selected each day, performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist. A 2-minute rest period will be provided after each exercise, followed by a transition to the next exercise. Care will be taken to perform the exercises within the pain threshold and to ensure that the pain does not exceed a VAS score of 2.
