Effectiveness of movement with mobilization to improve rom among adhesive capsulitis patients attended at crp

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the effectiveness of movement mobilization with conventional physiotherapy compare to only conventional physiotherapy for Adhesive capsulitis patient. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of pain after introducing Movement with Mobilization for Adhesive capsulitis, to measure the severity of pain by using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), to measure the ROM by using Goniometer, to explore the socio-demography of the participants. Methodology: Fourteen patients with adhesive Capsulitis were randomly selected from outdoor musculo-skeletal unit, CRP and then 7 patients with Adhesive Capsulitis were randomly assigned to movement with mobilization with conventional physiotherapy group and 7 patients to the only conventional physiotherapy group for this randomize control trial study. Visual Analogue Scale was used to measure pain intensity in different functional position and Goniometer to measure ROM. Unrelated “t” test was used to compare the result in ROM analysis and Pain was analysed by Calculating mean difference between two groups and unrelated “t” test. Results: By using an unrelated t test on the data the results were found to be significant in case of resting pain (p <0.05), pain during abduction (p <0.05), pain during lateral rotation (p <0.05) but not statistically significant in case of pain during medial rotation (p <0.05), pain during sleeping in affected side (p <0.05).The study also found significant Improvement of ROM In case of Abduction (p<.05). A small but not statistically significant improvement has been found in Medial rotation and lateral rotation of Shoulder. Conclusion: This experimental study shows that movement with mobilization with conventional physiotherapy is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone for patients with Adhesive Capsulitis.
