Effectiveness of Conventional Therapy with Capsular Stretching Versus Muscle Energy Technique in the Management of Frozen Shoulder - A Comparative study.
The shoulder is the most movable but unstable joint in the body
because of the range of motion it allows. It is easily subject to injury
because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the socket that holds it. To
remain stable, its muscles, tendons and ligaments must anchor the shoulder.
Shoulder stiffness is a poorly understood disorder of the glenohumeral joint
and Frozen shoulder is a pathology of often unknown etiology
characterized by painful and gradually progressive restriction of active and
passive gleno-humeral joint motion (Baslund et al,1990; Pearsall and
Speer,1998). The overall changes in pain, muscle strength, ROM, function and
Satisfaction of Group A and Group B was obtained and that says there is
improvement in both Groups. When we compare the mean ranks we can
conclude that Group A is better than Group B in overall changes or
improvement in the management of patients with Frozen Shoulder
