Detailed Description
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. A condition in which a person has severe limitation of the range of motion of the shoulder due to scarring around the shoulder joint. Adhesive capsulitis is an unwanted consequence of rotator cuff disease that involves damage to the rotator cuff. Muscle energy technique involves careful positioning of an area of the body by the physical therapist. After positioning, you will be asked to contract the muscle or resist a movement done by the physical therapist. This will be followed by a stretch to lengthen the same or opposite muscle group.
This will be followed by a stretch to lengthen the same or opposite muscle group. Mulligan's technique "combines the sustained application of manual gliding force to a joint, with the aim of repositioning bone positional faults while enabling concurrent physiological (osteo-kinematic) motion of the joint. Essentially, this means repositioning a joint to enable proper motion while taking that joint through pain-free passive and active range of motion (ROM).
Mulligan Manual Therapy can be used to help treat a variety of injuries and pain including neck pain, back pain and upper and lower extremity injuries. Designed to reduce pain and improve the patient's range of motion the Mulligan technique involves Natural Apophyseal Glides (NAGS), Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGS) and Mobilization with Movement (MWM) for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons describe three stages: Freezing, or painful stage: Pain increases gradually, making shoulder motion harder and harder. Pain tends to be worse at night. Frozen: Pain does not worsen, and it may decrease at this stage. The shoulder remains stiff. Thawing: Movement gets easier and may eventually return to normal. Signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one to three years.

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand
Time Frame: 4th week
|
The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand only contains subset of 11 items. it is a self-reported questionnaire in which the response options are presented as 5-point Likert scales. At least 10 of the 11 items must be completed for a score to be calculated The scores range from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). |
4th week

The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
Time Frame: 4th week
|
it is a patient completed questionnaire with 13 items assessing pain level and extent of difficulty with activity of daily living requiring the use of the upper extremities. The pain subscale is a composite measure and has 5-items and the Disability subscale is a composite measure and has 8-items. Total pain score (which is composite measure): / 50 x 100 = % (Note: If a person does not answer all questions divide by the total possible score, eg. if 1 question missed divide by 40) Total disability score (which is composite measure): / 80 x 100 = % (Note: If a person does not answer all questions divide by the total possible score, eg. if 1 question missed divide by 70) Total Shoulder Pain and Disability score: / 130 x 100 = % (Note: If a person does not answer all questions divide by the total possible score, eg. if 1 question missed divide by 120) The means of the two subscales are averaged to produce a total score ranging from 0 (best) to 100 (worst). |

Numeric pain rating scale
Time Frame: 4th week
|
A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale.
For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable
