This study aims to determine the best available non-operative approach for adhesive capsulitis and to create a guided treatment plan based on the research and evidence. An electronic search of multiple databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Wiley Online Library, Google Scholar, and Ovid Medline was completed. Search terms included “adhesive capsulitis”, “frozen shoulder”, “adhesive capsulitis treatments”, and “frozen shoulder treatments”. Exclusion criteria included articles that were published before the year 1984 and non-peer reviewed articles. Seventy-four articles were retrieved from the original search, and of those forty-nine articles were included and twenty-five were excluded. In the available research and literature, there is no clear consensus of one non-operative approach against the other. There is however clear evidence that intra-articular corticosteroid injections provide pain relief in the short term. There may be a role for the other non-operative interventions in the treatment for adhesive capsulitis but the current evidence does not support them being implemented as standalone treatment options. In order to determine the best available non-operative approach for adhesive capsulitis there is a need for higher quality randomized controlled trials moving forward. The available literature has limitations that would restrict one to formulate a consensus on a guided treatment plan.

<p><strong>Backgroud:</strong> Frozen shoulder also called as adhesive capsulitis is a condition characterised by global limitation of humeroscapular motion resulting from contracture and loss of compliance of the glenohumeral joint capsule. Frozen shoulder is a common problem and results in frustrating debilitation for its sufferers. There can be many reasons for pain and stiffness of shoulder joint, so it is very important to differentiate between adhesive capsulitis and the other causes.</p><p><strong>Objective:</strong> The main objective of the study was to evaluate the various modes of treatment for frozen shoulder and to identify various causes and associations of frozen shoulder in Indian population. To the best of our knowledge no prospective study has been done which have compared different treatment options in patients of adhesive capsulitis in Indian population.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> The study was done on 75 patients which were divided into three groups, based on the mode of management i.e. conservatively with medication and physiotherapy, physiotherapy and intraarticular injection and arthroscopic capsular release. The range of movement and functional outcome was compared using Constant &amp; Murley score.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> We found that patients undergoing conservative management showed benefits of various treatment options if the condition is diagnosed at an early stage but the results convincingly prove the advantages of arthroscopic capsular release in patients with chronic painful stiff shoulder or in failed conservative treatment.</p>

ABSTRACT: This research presents the case of a patient with a frozen shoulder and assesses the impact of osteopathic techniques and physical exercises for this condition. The article describes the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms and treatment options for frozen shoulder. It also contains information on how to conduct clinical tests and diagnosis of the adhesive capsulitis. We assessed the range of flexion, external rotation, internal rotation and the intensity of pain of the patients frozen shoulder. In this case study frozen shoulder developed typically, in three stages “freezing”, “frozen”, “thawing”. The treatment significantly increased the range of motion of the shoulder joint and reduced sensation of pain. The analysis shows that the osteopathic techniques and physical exercises are an effective form of rehabilitation and pain management. Further studies are needed in this area.

Background: Frozen shoulder is a commonly occurring disease of the population. It is also referred to as shoulder capsulitis. It causes pain and stiffness of the shoulder and dominant in left shoulder. Various things are still unclear regarding the treatment and causes of this disease. It is a painful and n quickly healed disease. Patients show recovery but are often unable to regain their full potential movements. Painful stiffness of the shoulder is an ill-described medical entity, this is hard to evaluate and sensitive to treat. The nomenclature sed and consists of phrinclude cluding frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, focal dystrophy, stiff shoulder, shriveled shoulder, and following. Apart from its idiopathic form, the disease can be initiated with the resource of the usage of trauma, infection, tumor, radiation, systemic and neighborhood metabolic concerns. Patho- anatomically, the common place region denominates an inflammatory vascular proliferation found with the resource of the usage thickening, scarring, and retraction of the joint cover. Summary: The inflammatory technique frequently begins to evolved on the rotator language and can increase to the subacromial space. Clinical analysis is primarily based totally records and bodily examination. Generally, the onset of ache precedes the belief of a discounted variety of movement with the aid of using weeks or months. In early ranges of ailment, the inflammatory form of ache dominates, the patient's most important criticism is ache at night. In the later stage, variety of movement step by step decreases. Patients no longer frequently whine approximately decreased movement, likely due to its gradual onset. Conclusion: Treatment options are a mixture of mobilization carrying sports with intra-articular steroids, hydraulic distension of the joint capsule, manipulation below anaesthesia,arthroscopic and/or open arthrosis.The appropriate preference of protocol is really as critical as its correct timing. In the inflammatory phase, competitive invasive protocols are uncommon, but deleterious and therefore need to be taken into consideration. New anti- angiogenic outlets also can moreover enhance beneficial effects and shorten the rehabilitation phase.

Background: Periarthritis Shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that results in tissue degeneration, thickening of the joint capsule, and a narrowing of the glenoid cavity. Diabetes mellitus is linked to many debilitating musculoskeletal disorders of the hand and shoulder. Prevalence of adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is estimated to be 11-30 percent in people with diabetes. Various interventions have already been used to prevent pain and improve quality of life. Both Muscle Energy Technique and Kalternborn Mobilization Technique are thought to have a pain-relieving effect. Aim & Objective: The study's aim is to compare the effects of both techniques on pain in diabetic patients. Methods/Design: In this study experimental study, the participants will be divided into two groups: Kalternborn Mobilization Technique Group (A) and Muscle Energy Technique Group (B) based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both interventions include 30-45 min session which will be carried out for duration of four days. Outcome will be Pain and Quality of Life and outcome measures will be evaluated at beginning and at the end of intervention period. Result: Successful Completion of trial of Muscle Energy Technique and Kalternborn Mobilisation Technique will provide evidence for best strategy targeting Pain and quality of life in diabetic patients with Periarthritis of Shoulder. Conclusion: The study will be concluded with the significant effect of Muscle Energy Technique and Kalternborn Mobilisation Technique on Periarthritis shoulder of diabetic patients.

Adhesive Capsulitis is a debilitating condition which causes the capsule of the Gleno-humeral joint to get thickened and contracted progressively. The prevalence of the disease is much higher in the middle aged and elderly community. It is characterized by pain in the shoulder, and advance towards the restriction of the active and passive glenohumeral motions and thereby obstructing the overall functional activities of the daily living. The effectiveness of various non-operative methods in the treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis has been demonstrated in the literature. Corticosteroid injections and the oral medications are known to be alleviating the pain levels and the inflammatory reactions but not the mobility of the affected joint. Joint mobilization techniques, electrotherapeutic modalities and other manual treatment methods are also found to be effective. In summary, this review focuses on the pathophysiology of the adhesive capsulitis, stages of the condition progress and various manual therapy interventions. Keywords: Gleno-humeral joint, frozen shoulder, rehabilitation, active and passive movements, functional activities.

Musculoskeletal injuries in the female athlete are, for the most part, similar to those in the male athlete. However, there are differences in the incidence of these injuries and in the sports in which they tend to occur. Female athletes have a higher rate of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries than male athletes. Other musculoskeletal problems are also more common in females, such as multidirectional instability of the shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, and patellofemoral pain. This review addresses injuries that are seen commonly in female athletes and outlines current diagnosis and treatment options. This review contains 3 figures and 32 references Key words: ACL tear, adhesive capsulitis, atraumatic, female athlete, injection, knee, patellofemoral pain, shoulder
