Effectiveness of occupation-based intervention on occupational performance and quality of life in frozen shoulder : A randomized controlled trial

Conservative treatment for frozen shoulder (FS) was studied using various intervention methods including therapeutic exercises and modalities, however, the occupation-based intervention (OBI) was not included in those studies. OBI utilizes activities and occupation as interventions to enhance the occupational performance of an individual’s daily occupation and quality of life in clients with FS is not much explored. The proposed research study can help in choosing OBI for the client with FS and other shoulder conditions. The outcome of this will be added research evidence and facilitate the use of OBI in occupational therapy clinical practice through the home program. Considering current situations OBI home program interventions will be cost-effective and feasible to keep the treatment follow-up. Thus, there is a need to conduct quality research on OBI in clients with FS.

The study will be conducted only after the approval of the IEC-KH and Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI).
