Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study focus on the rehabilitation of patients with frozen shoulder through a manual technique called "Spencer MET".The purpose of this approach is to reduce the pain and improve the ROM and quality of life.
Detailed Description
By comparing the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation versus the Spencer technique in patients with adhesive capsuilitis is to determine which treatment approach will yields better outcomes in order to reduce the detrimental effects of disease process.Spencer METs consist of series of seven steps taken in order to decrease pain and stiffness in sholder regiegionn.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS):
Time Frame: 12 Months
It is tool widely used to measure the intensity of pain and discomfort.VAS effectively used in randomized controlled trials for outcome measures,consisting of 10 cm straight line from 0 to 10.0 represents "No pain" and 10 represent "Worst pain". Patients can mark their severity of pain.
Goniometer
Time Frame: 12 months
Goniometer is instrument used to measure the range of motion of a joint.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
