Summary

The study was conducted to determine the effects of scapular repeated contractions facilitation versus hold-relax techniques on pain, range of motion and functional disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis

Conditions

  • Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder

Interventions

OTHER

Repeated Contraction Facilitation Technique

Repeated contraction facilitation on scapula in two diagonal patterns (D1\&D2) were performed .D1 consisted of anterior elevation and posterior depression and D2 consisted of posterior elevation and anterior depression. Isotonic contraction of muscles against the resistance throughout the active ROM was performed.3 sets of 10 repetitions were performed with 20 seconds of rest interval.

OTHER

Hold-Relax Technique

Hold -Relax on scapula in two diagonal patterns (D1\&D2) were performed .D1 consisted of anterior elevation and posterior depression and D2 consisted of posterior elevation and anterior depression in which restricted muscles were contracted isometrically with 5 sec hold followed by relaxation into new range .3 sets of 10 repetitions were performed with 20 seconds of rest interval.

OTHER

Conventional Physical therapy Treatment for Adhesive Capsulitis

Moist heat pack for 15-20 mins Therapeutic Ultrasound at 1MHz for 8-10 mins in continuous mode with the intensity of 1.5W/cm2 Active Assisted Shoulder for abduction, flexion, internal rotation and external rotation with 3 sets of 15 repetitions 4days/week for 4 weeks Wall slides, Finger ladder exercises, Wand exercises and home exercises were performed.3x15 repetitions with 2 min rest interval for 4 sessions per week for four weeks for each exercise Maitland Glenohumeral Joint Mobilization with 2-3 oscillations per second for 30 seconds for 5 sets 4 times a week in caudal and posteroanterior direction was applied for 4 weeks.
