Brief Summary

Elhafez Technique Combined with Dynamic Scapulohumeral Mobilization in Adhesive Capsulitis

Detailed Description

Elhafez Technique is an emerging rehabilitation approach that integrates axillary ultrasound, axillary laser therapy, and post-isometric facilitation (PIF) to target capsular stiffness, inflammation, and neuromuscular dysfunction. These techniques aim to enhance tissue healing, improve joint mobility, and reduce pain. When combined with Dynamic Scapulohumeral Mobilization (DSM), which focuses on restoring scapular control and shoulder joint biomechanics, this comprehensive approach may offer superior outcomes compared to conventional treatments.

This study aims to evaluate the biomechanical and functional effects of combining Elhafez Technique with DSM in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. By assessing pain levels, ROM, and functional recovery, this research seeks to determine whether this combined intervention provides faster and more effective relief for patients suffering from this condition.
