Added effect of muscle energy technique on improving functional ability in frozen shoulder
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Objectives In Frozen Shoulder patients have a painful loss of shoulder motion with development of dense adhesions, capsular thickening and capsular restrictions, especially in the dependent folds of the capsule. Muscle energy technique helps to mobilize restricted joints by stretching hypertonic muscles, capsules, ligaments, and fascia. The aim of the study is to find out the effect of MET with Conventional therapy to improve the shoulder range of motion and function in frozen shoulder. Materials and Method This experimental study was conducted among 30 participants who included both male and female symptomatic individuals from the age group of 40 to 60 years. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups of 15 each which included Conventional therapy (group A) and MET along with conventional therapy (group B) was given for 15 days. The Outcome measures were recorded pre and post 15th day of intervention using universal goniometer for shoulder Range of motion of Abduction, Internal and External Rotation and Shoulder Pain and Function Disability Scale (SPADI). Result Within group analysis showed that improved range of motion and functional disability was statistically significant in both the groups (p< 0.0001) whereas between group analysis revealed that Conventional treatment along with MET (group B) is more effective than conventional treatment in improving range of motion and function in Frozen shoulder. Conclusion Hence, it can be concluded that MET along with Conventional therapy is more effective in treatment of Frozen Shoulder.
