Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare different treatment programs for frozen shoulder by evaluating changes in pain scale and shoulder range of motion(ROM) before and after treatment. The investigators define frozen shoulder as shoulder pain with ROM limitation,shoulder arthrography demonstration of at least two of the following criteria:(1)reduced joint volume under 10ml; (2)irregular capsular margin;(3)diminished or absent axillary recess. Afer define diagnosis of frozen shoulder ,patients are randomly assigned to different Subgroups for different treatment programs.Each subgroup consists of ten patients. Each treatment program performed for 6 consecutive courses with each course consists of 6 days.Total 36 treatment days. The treatment programs and grouping as follow: Group 1:Physical modalities + therapeutic exercise Group 2:Physical modalities + therapeutic exercise+ intra-articular injection of steroid Gouup 3:Therapeutic exercise Before treatment,after each consecutive course (6days) of treatment,and at the end of treatment program, the investigators evaluate the range of motion and muscle strength of shoulder flexion,external rotation,abduction and internal rotation. Severity of shoulder pain also evaluated by pain scale before and after treatment program. The ROM before and after treatment program is compared by paired t-test.The ROM change before and after treatment in different groups compared by analysis of variance(ANOVA). The ROM change after consecutive treatment courses(6 days) are compared by multivariate ANOVA.Pain scale before and after treatment is compared by paired t-test.
