Brief Summary

Adhesive Capsulitis also known as frozen shoulder is a self-limiting disorder of the shoulder joint characterized by pain, loss of joint ROM and functional limitation which usually resolves in 12-15 months. I Different physical therapy techniques and modalities have been used in reducing pain and increasing ROM in frozen shoulder. It is a randomized clinical trial and random sampling was used with an inclusion criterion of confirmed adhesive capsulitis patients. This study aims to provide a comparative analysis of two mobilizations: Gongs and Scapular mobilization in terms of effects on pain, range of motion and functional status. Patients having acute inflammation, fracture, dislocation or any surgery around the shoulder joint were excluded from the study. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups with group A receiving Gongs mobilization and group B receiving scapular mobilization in addition to Continuous passive motion which was given as a baseline therapy to both the groups. Total duration of the study was 6 months. Numeric pain rating scale, universal goniometry and Shoulder pain and disability index were used to measure the pain, range of motion and functionality respectively at the start and end of study. After collecting data from defined study setting, data was entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it was decided either parametric or non-parametric test to be used.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Numeric pain rating scale

  The 11-point NPRS consists of numbers between 0 and 10 where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "maximum pain." The respondent is instructed to identify one number between 0 and 10, which is best representative of their pain intensity.

  4months

• Degree of Range of motion

  goniometer will be used to take ranges

  4 months

• The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)

  The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The pain dimension consists of five questions regarding the severity of an individual's pain.
