Brief summary (from the registry)
Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal condition. Painful gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule.Scapular position and movement perception both effected by shoulder adhesive capsulitis, change in the scapular kinematics in the form of an increase in scapular lateral rotation, and reduced joint sense for shoulder movements in adhesive capsulitis. Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing Adhesive capsulitis including Electrotherapeutic modalities, kaltenborn mobilization, Maitland's mobilization,Mulligan's mobilization and Manipulation. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatments in combination or in isolation.Few studies on proprioception in rotator cuff tear, sub acromial impingment syndrome, but no obseved effects of scapular mobilization on shoulder proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.Physical therapist focus on lowering pain and ROM limitations in the shoulder,but often neglect to evaluate proprioception/joint position sense as well as the roleof scapula in adhesive capsulitis during treatment.If found effective,this study can help in probviding treatment protocols for improving proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulits.
