Effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) pattern for Adhesive capsulitis patients.

• Conditions: Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/06/026241
• Lead Sponsor: Abid Hasan Khan

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern on upper extremity andscapula with conventionalphysiotherapy and only conventional physiotherapy inadhesive capsulitis patients. The study will be an assessor blind randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). A common intervention programwill be executed for both groups as conventional physiotherapy, it includes -Capsular stretching, Accessory movements, pendulum exercise, pulley exercise,Infra-red radiation, and Ultrasound, which are the most frequently, usedinterventions. In this study, the experimental group will be treated with PNF patternon upper extremity and scapula in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Thegraduate physiotherapist will apply the PNF pattern on upper extremity and scapula and the conventional physiotherapies. Each group will get eightsessions of treatment. In this study, the researcher will use the Numerical pain rating scale formeasuring the intensity of pain, goniometer will use for measuringthe Range of Movement (ROM) of shoulder Abduction, Lateral rotation, and Medialrotation and the SPADI will use as a self-administered form that consists of 2divisions, one for pain and also the other for functional activities.
