BACKGROUND: Adhesive capsulitis is a debilitating condition which causes the capsule of the gleno-humeral joint to thicken and contract progressively. The effectiveness of various non-operative methods has been demonstrated to improve the pain, range of motion (ROM) and functional status of patients with adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to review recent evidence on the efficacy of physiotherapy interventions in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. METHODS: PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Science Direct and Cochrane databases were searched for studies published since 2013. The search terms included: Frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, physical therapy, rehabilitation, manual therapy, mobilization, exercise, education, and electrotherapy. The search was limited to studies published in English and studies that used human subjects. RESULTS: Quality scores of 33 articles were reviewed according to the Sackett’s critical appraisal criteria and the grades of recommendation were determined for physiotherapy interventions used in the studies. CONCLUSION: The empirical evidence suggests that certain physical therapy techniques and modalities are strongly recommended for pain relief, improvement of ROM, and functional status in patients with adhesive capsulitis, while others are either moderately or mildly recommended. However, the efficacy of one treatment modality over another is uncertain. The poor methodological rigors demonstrated in most of the reviewed studies emphasize the urgent need of properly conducted, adequately sampled randomized controlled trials with adequate follow up to determine the superior combination of treatment.

Adhesive capsulitis – also known as frozen shoulder, pericapsulitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis or check- rein syndrome. The condition usually resolves spontaneously after about 18 months. Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal disorder mainly affecting middle aged adults. Also self care activities and occupational activities decreases depends on which shoulder is involved, for instance, self care, grooming, combing hair, eating and dressing are impaired if right shoulder is involved for right handed person, on the other hand dressing and perineal care are hampered if left shoulder is involved.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v13i1.19423

Number Of Individuals

Some individuals experience a condition characterized by spontaneous shoulder pain and stiffness due to synovitis, fibrosis, and loss of capsule elasticity without a clear-cut inciting cause. Most commonly, this condition is named adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder, terms applied only when shoulder radiographs are essentially normal and other reasons for shoulder pain and stiffness (e.g., cuff disease, fractures, dislocations, and arthritis) can be excluded. Although this condition resolves spontaneously in many patients, its course is protracted and a number of individuals may experience permanent restrictions in motion and function. This chapter discusses various aspects of adhesive capsulitis including pathogenesis, natural history, patient evaluation, and treatment.

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.

Background Evidence for optimal non-operative treatment of frozen shoulder is lacking. The present study aimed to evaluate a treatment strategy for stage II to III frozen shoulder provided by the current primary care musculoskeletal service. Methods General practioner referrals of shoulder pain to the musculoskeletal service diagnosed with stage II to III frozen shoulder and who opted for a treatment strategy of hydrodistension and guided physiotherapy exercise programme over a 12-month period were evaluated for 6 months. Thirty-three patients were diagnosed with stage II to III frozen shoulder by specialist physiotherapists and opted for the treatment strategy. Outcome measures included Shoulder Pain Disability Index (SPADI) and Shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH), pain score and range of movement. Data were collected at baseline, as well as at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months. Results All patients significantly improved in shoulder symptoms on the SPADI and QuickDASH scores ( p < 0.001). Pain scores and range of shoulder movement flexion, abduction, external rotation showed significant improvement at all time points ( p < 0.001). Conclusions This service evaluation demonstrates that management of frozen shoulder stage II to III, as conducted by physiotherapists in a primary care setting utilizing hydrodistension and a guided exercise programme, represents an effective non-operative treatment strategy.

Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis, also called frozen shoulder, affects about 3-5% of the population, especially in the age group 40 to 60 years, affecting more women and having an insidious onset. Objective: Analyze the isolated effect of joint manipulation by Maitland method in treating patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, the level of pain, range of motions of the shoulder and functional capacity. Method: It is about a cases studies in which four volunteers underwent protocol Maitland to shoulder for 15 sessions. The evaluation instruments used were the Visual Analog Scale, Goniometer and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index to measure the level of disability of the shoulder. Results: There was decreased pain from 55.5 to 80.0%, increased all range of motions, especially flexion of the shoulder, with more than 100% gains in the four cases investigated and improved functional capacity between 27.9 – 91.9%. Conclusion: These results suggest that the therapy had improved outcomes assessed, as clinically relevant contribution, but indicate the need to develop more studies to prove the effectiveness of the method isolated.

Background: Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by a painful, gradual loss of both active and passive glenohumeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the glenohumeral joint capsule. Patients with Adhesive capsulitis have difficulties in everyday activities and shoulder pain also disturbs sleep at night on the affected side. Muscle energy technique helps in increasing shoulder range of motion. Maitland Mobilization is commonly used in the treatment of frozen shoulder. SPENCER Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is unique in its application as the client provides the initial effort while the practitioner facilitates the process. Objective: Objectives of the study was to compare the effect of Spencer MET Vs Maitland’s mobilization on pain, Range of Motion (ROM) and Disability in the patients with frozen shoulder. Methods: In the present experimental study, total 58 patients with frozen shoulder were included. Inclusion criteria were male and female with age of 40 to 60 year with unilateral frozen shoulder (at least 3-month duration). Patients were randomly allocated in two groups with 29 patients in each group: SPENCER MET and Conventional physiotherapy and MM and conventional physiotherapy for 5days a week with total duration of 4 weeks. Pre and post intervention assessment was carried out by using VAS, SPADI and ROM. Data was analysed by using SPSS 15 version. Results: Paired t test was applied within group comparison and result showed statistically significant difference in post intervention measurement compared to pre intervention for improving pain, reducing disability and increasing all ROM in both the groups. Independent t test was applied between group comparison and result showed statistically significant difference between groups mean pre-post differences in improving pain, reducing disability and increasing all ROM except extension and internal rotation. Conclusion: This study concludes that both the techniques used in the present study i.e., Spencer Muscle Energy Technique and Maitland Mobilization are effective for improving pain, reducing disability, and increasing ROM. However, SPENCER MET is the more effective for improving pain, reducing disability, and increasing ROM compared to Maitland Mobilization in patients with frozen shoulder. KEY WORDS: Frozen shoulder, SPENCER MET, Maitland mobilization, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, Visual Analogue Scale.
