Effects of Moderate Physical Activity on Diabetic Adhesive Capsulitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Not Applicable

Completed

Interventions: Other: Conventional Physical Therapy
Other: Moderate Physical Activity + Conventional Physical Therapy

Brief Summary: The study is designed to determine the effects of moderate physical activity on adhesive capsulitis in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.

Detailed Description: This study aims to investigate the effect of additional Physical activity programmes in patients with Diabetic Frozen Shoulder (DFS).

Physical activity can help people with diabetes achieve a variety of goals, including increased cardiorespiratory fitness, increased vigour, improved glycemic control, decreased insulin resistance, improved lipid profile, blood pressure (BP) reduction and maintenance of weight loss Frozen shoulder syndrome, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a clinical entity that refers to a stiff and painful shoulder causing major functional impairment. It affects women more than men, and is mostly associated with diabetes mellitus as a systemic condition. . Frozen shoulder may be either primary idiopathic or secondary to a systemic disease, such as diabetes mellitus.

The adoption and maintenance of physical activity are critical for blood glucose management and overall health in individuals with diabetes. In this Position Statement, we provide a clinically oriented review and evidence based recommendations regarding physical activity and exercise in people with type 2 diabetes.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control (Conventional Physical Therapy)	Conventional Physical Therapy	Conventional Physical Therapy group recieved Hot pack and TENS for 10 minutes at the affected shoulder. Passive shoulder mobilizations were performed initially at pain free range in anterior, posterior, and inferior direction (10 reps x 1 set). Shoulder rolls, pendulum stretch, cross body arm stretch and towel stretch (10 reps x 1 set) were actively performed by the patient with-in limits of pain
Experimental (Moderate Physical Activity + Conventional Physical Therapy)	Moderate Physical Activity + Conventional Physical Therapy	Conventional Physical Therapy group recieved Hot pack and TENS for 10 minutes at the affected shoulder. Passive shoulder mobilizations were performed initially at pain free range in anterior, posterior, and inferior direction (10 reps x 1 set). Shoulder rolls, pendulum stretch, cross body arm stretch and towel stretch (10 reps x 1 set) were actively performed by the patient with-in limits of pain Moderate physical activity on treadmill, brisk walk was performed 5 days a week for 30 minutes at 4 mph speed (3-6 METs) with warm up for a 5 minutes at low speed and then at the end speed was also decreased for a 5 minutes

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder Pain	From baseline to 3rd week and 6th week	Shoulder pain will be assessed with numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), a reliable (Cronbach's α=0.94) and valid tool (CI = 0.96 to 0.98) for assessing pain
Shoulder ROMs	From baseline to 3rd week and 6th week	Shoulder abduction, external rotation and internal rotation will be assessed with goiniometer for the degree and quality of this movement. The reliability of goiniometer for shoulder ROMs is ICC=0.94 and validity ICC=0.94.
Shoulder Functionality	From baseline to 3rd week and 6th week	Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire will be used to assess shoulder functionality which is considered a reliable and valid tool for upper limb function. It has been used for shoulder assessment in patients with AC. Validity and Reliability of this scale is (ICC=0.95) and (ICC=0.92) respectively
Average Blood Glucose Level	From baseline to 6th week	The average blood glucose level for past two to three months will be measured throgh the HbA1c test, also known as the haemoglobinA1c . The normal range for the hemoglobin A1c level is between 4% and 5.6%. Between 5.7% and 6.4%indicates pre-diabetes. 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes. Validity (r=0.96 and 0.99) and reliability (r=0.95 and 0.97)
