A study to compare muscle energy technique versus scapular neuromuscular facilitation in improving pain and range of motion in patients with adhesive capsulitis

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2023/04/051560
• Lead Sponsor: Chandana N

Brief Summary

purpose:The study aims to findeffectiveness of muscle energy technique along with conventional physiotherapywhich is compared with scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular technique inimproving range of motion and pain among adhesive capsulitis of age group group40 to 60.

 The hypotheses andobjectives of the study can be outlined as:

 **Hypothesis:**

**NullHypothesis [H0]:**

§  Therewill be no significant effect of muscle energy technique in improving range ofmotion and pain on adhesive capsulitis patients

§  Therewill be no significant effect of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscularfacilitations in improving range of motion and pain on adhesive capsulitispatients

§  Therewill be no significant difference of muscle energy techniques compared toscapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in improving range of motionand pain on adhesive capsulitis patients

**Alternate Hypothesis [H1]:**

§  Therewill be significant effect of muscle energy technique in improving range ofmotion and pain on adhesive capsulitis patients

§  Therewill be significant effect of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscularfacilitations in improving range of motion and pain on adhesive capsulitispatients

§  Therewill be significant difference of muscle energy techniques compared to scapularproprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in improving range of motion and painon adhesive capsulitis patients
