Study Overview
Brief Summary
tissue flossing is a newer intervention, where elastic band will be applied in and around joint or soft tissue to improve range, pain and strength. tissue flossing found to be effective in other musculoskeletal conditions of lower limbs such as knee, ankle and hip region. its effectiveness on upper limb especially in shoulder region yet to be studied. hence hypothesis of current study to investigate effects of tissue flossing on pain, range and functional outcomes in frozen shoulder patients.

- 40.00 Year(s) to 65.00 Year(s) (—)
- Sex
- All
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patient age is between 40 and 65 years of both the gender Loss of passive external rotation greater than 50 percent when compared to the uninvolved shoulder or less than 45 degree of external rotation ROM loss of greater than 25 percent in at least 2 movement planes in comparison to the uninvolved shoulder Pain and restricted movement present and reaching a plateau or worsening for at least 1 monthVolunteers must be willing to follow the study protocol attend sessions and provide informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of shoulder surgery example rotator cuff repair shoulder arthroplasty or recent trauma example fractures dislocations Other shoulder joint pathologies like osteoarthritis rotator cuff tears or labral tears Corticosteroid injections in the past 6 months Shoulder mobility defects accompanying neurological damage such as in stroke or Parkinson disease Open wounds, infections, rashes, or other skin conditions.
- •Chronic joint or connective tissue disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other autoimmune diseases).
- •History of heart disease or vascular disorders.
- •Allergic reactions to latex.
- •Generalized pain syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia) to avoid confounding effects from diffuse pain unrelated to adhesive capsulitis.
- •Infection or Malignancy.
