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.

Abstract Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition characterized by an often prolonged pain, disability and limited active and passive range of motion (ROM), however its management remains challenging yet. The objective of this trial was to compare the efficacy of acromioclavicular joint mobilization and physical therapy versus physical therapy in treatment of FS.Methods: In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, patients with diagnosis of FS were randomly allocated into mobilization + physical therapy (n=28) as experiment group, and physical therapy (n=28) as control group in two outpatient clinics of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The primary outcomes were self-reported shoulder pain-related disability measured by the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire and goniometric assessment of shoulder ROM. The secondary outcome was the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Measures were performed at the baseline, immediately and one month after beginning the treatments.Results: Totally 51 patients with 25.73 ± 6.88 years old of age completed the study and their data were analyzed. VAS, SPADI, pain and disability improved more significantly in experiment group compared to control group immediately [-4.63 (-5.58- -3.67) vs. -2.22 (-2.96- -1.47), p<0.001; -23.08 (-28.63- -17.53) vs. -13.04 (-17.93- -8.16), p=0.008; -26.00 (-31.71- -20.29) vs. -16.35 (-23.39- -9.31), p=0.034 and -21.25 (-29.11- -13.39) vs. -10.98 (-17.53- -4.43), p=0.042, respectively] and one month after beginning of treatment [-5.58 (-6.45- -4.72) vs. -3.61 (-4.60- -2.62), p<0.001; -33.43 (-40.85- -26.01) vs. -20.03 (-26.00- -14.07), p=0.001; --42.83 (-49.09- -36.57) vs. -25.57 (-33.92- -17.21), p<0.001 and -27.55 (-36.19- -15.94) vs. -16.58 (-24.48- -8.67), p=0.041, respectively]. Active abduction ROM was also improved more significantly immediately after treatment in experiment group compared to control group [25.83 (11.45- 40.13) vs. 10.17 (1.02- 19.15), p=0.025], however there were no significant differences between two groups concerning other measured ROMs immediately and one month after treatment (all p>0.05). Conclusions: Acromioclavicular mobilization along with conventional physical therapy was more efficient in decreasing pain and disability and improving active abduction ROM compared to physical therapy in patients with FS. These findings would suggest a new therapeutic method for shoulder disorders with pain and disability.Trial registrationwww.irct.ir, IRCT20100605004104N7, registered 06.01.2019 (https://www.irct.ir/trial/35900)

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.

Abstract Background: Subscapular abscess is a rare condition usually secondary to immunocompromised state and recent infection. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the most common etiologic agent. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of a patient with a frozen shoulder performing manual therapy, which resulted in an Escherichia coli subscapular abscess.Case presentation: A 72-year-old male was referred from the respiratory department with pain and a limited range of motion in the left shoulder. He complained that the pain was exacerbated with popping sound during manual therapy for frozen shoulder two weeks ago. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large intramuscular complicated fluid collection at the level of the subscapularis muscle 10.0 × 5.2 × 11 cm in size, and a bloody but turbid pus-like discharge was observed upon aspiration. He underwent urgent surgical drainage. The cultures from the abscess fluid revealed extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (-) E. coli. After 4 weeks of Ceftazidime intravenous treatment, symptoms of the patient had improved. Conclusions: This case highlights the risks of aggressive manual therapy in severe frozen shoulder. It also presents a clinical scenario in which practitioners of manual therapy in frozen shoulder should be aware of the risk of subscapular abscess in patients undergoing recent infection therapy

Review Question

Review question / Objective: Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder prompting many patients to seek treatment. Thermotherapy is a common treatment for shoulder which has been widely used in hospitals. But its efficiency has not been scientifically and methodically evaluated. This protocol aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Thermotherapy for treating shoulder pain. Information sources: Eight databases will be searched from their inception to October 2021. They are as follows: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), Weipu Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), and Wanfang Database. There will be no limitation to study publication status or language. The search terms include shoulder impingement syndrome, rotator cuff, bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder, shoulder pain, thermotherapy, diathermy, heat therapy, Moxibustion, and RCTs. The equivalent search words will be used in the Chinese databases.
