Overview
Brief Summary
To determine the technique that will have better effects in realigning the muscle kinematics and to normalize the muscle activity along with reducing muscle stiffness with mobilizations techniques
Detailed Description
There is a very limited literature available Active release technique (ART) and Post Facilitation Stretch (PFS) in frozen shoulder. Additionally there is a very limited literature on the evaluation of ART in comparison with PFS in adhesive capsulitis of diabetic patient. Disease such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) etc that cause stiffness of the shoulder joint also present with altered muscle activity, that in long run becomes one of the main causes of reduces joint range of motion. With this study, we will be able to determine the technique that will have better effects in realigning the muscle kinematics and to normalize the muscle activity along with reducing muscle stiffness with mobilizations techniques. This study will also fulfill that research gap and will provide clinicians with an alternative approach in treatment of adhesive capsulitis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
ROM Shoulder Abduction
Time Frame: 6th week
Goniometer is used to measure the range of the motion of the shoulder Abduction
Shoulder pain and disability Index (SPADI)
Time Frame: 6th week
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. Each of the 13 items is to be rated with a number from 0 to 10: For the pain score (first 5 items): 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain imaginable; For the disability score (last 8 items): 0 means no impairment and 10 means the patient requires help to perform that action
ROM Shoulder External Rotation
Time Frame: 6th week
Goniometer is used to measure the range of the motion of the shoulder External Rotation
The oxford scale
Time Frame: 6th week
The Oxford Scale is a 0-5 scale which is then recorded as 0/5 or 2/5, sometimes with a + or - sign to indicate more or less power but not sufficient to reduce or increase the number.
ROM Shoulder Flexion
Time Frame: 6th week
Goniometer is used to measure the range of the motion of the shoulder flexion
ROM Shoulder Extension
Time Frame: 6th week
Goniometer is used to measure the range of the motion of the shoulder extension
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Time Frame: 6th week
The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. Similar to the VAS, the NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain severity extremes.
ROM Shoulder Internal Rotation
Time Frame: 6th week
Goniometer is used to measure the range of the motion of the shoulder Internal Rotation
