Effectiveness of Conventional Therapy with Capsular Stretching Versus Muscle Energy Technique in the Management of Frozen Shoulder - A Comparative study.

Abstract

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
