Effects of Deltoid Strengthening Exercises in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis
8. juni 2026 opdateret af: Riphah International University
Effects of Deltoid Strengthening Exercises on Pain, Range of Motion, Muscle Strength and Disability in Patients With Adhesive Capsulitis
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a musculoskeletal condition that causes significant shoulder pain and restricted joint mobility.
It affects the glenohumeral joint and is commonly seen in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60 year.
It affects 3 to 5% of the general population with a higher prevalence among females and patients with diabetes or thyroid disorders.
Adhesive capsulitis progresses in four stages: painful, freezing, frozen, and thawing, and the condition may persist for 1 to 2 years.
This study aims to determine the effects of Deltoid Strengthening Exercises on pain, range of motion, muscle strength and disability in patients with Adhesive Capsulitis.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
This study will be a Randomized Controlled Trial and will be conducted in Physiotherapy Outpatient Department of Tehsil Head Quarter Hospital, Daska.
Non-Probability Convenience Sampling will be used to collect the data.
A sample of subjects aged 40 to 60 years with stage II and III adhesive capsulitis will be selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Informed consent will be obtained from all participants.
Outcome measures will include Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) for disability, Goniometer for Range of Motion, and Arm Abduction and Lowering Test for muscle strength.
48 subjects will be divided into two groups, 24 in each group by random number generator table.
Both groups will receive a standard physical therapy protocol consisting of Ultrasound, Glenohumeral Mobilization and Home Exercises.
In addition to standard physical therapy protocol, Group A will receive Deltoid Strengthening Exercises: Week 1: Isometric exercises (1×10 reps); Week 2 : Theraband exercises (1×10 reps); Week 3 - Dumbbell exercises with 1 kg (1×10 reps) and Week 4: Dumbbell exercises with 1.5 kg (1×10 reps), targeting anterior, middle, and posterior Deltoid.
Group B will receive only the standard physiotherapy protocol without strengthening.
Outcome measures will be measured at baseline and after 4 weeks.
Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Pain-Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks
|
In current study, patients with Adhesive Capsulitis having Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score of greater or equal to 3 and less than 7 will be included.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is used to measure pain levels in all subjects.
NPRS is self-reported, single-dimensional 11 point scale between 0 and 10.
The NPRS has a moderate test-retest reliability in patients with a primary complaint of shoulder pain with ICC=0.74,
MCID of 1.1 points and MDC of 2.5 points.
|
upto 4 weeks
|
|
Disability-Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks
|
Patients with Adhesive Capsulitis having Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) score of 41 to 60 will be included in the current study.
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is used for measuring the level of disability in patients.
This self-administered index consists of 13 items divided into two subscales: 5 items for pain and 8 items for disability.
It is a practical outcome measure that will be completed by patients in less than 5 min and will be scored by clinician.
It has a high internal consistency with Cronbach α typically exceeding 0.90 and a good test-retest reliability with ICC values ranging from 0.84 to 0.95.
When the SPADI is used more than once on the same subject i.e. at initial consultation and then at discharge, the minimal detectible change (MDC 95%) is 18 points
|
upto 4 weeks
|
|
Range of motion-Universal Goniometer
Tidsramme: upto 4 weeks
|
Adhesive capsulitis' patients have a capsular pattern of restriction of glenohumeral joint.
Universal goniometer (UG) will be used to measure external rotation, internal rotation, abduction and flexion.
Universal Goniometer is defined as a high-resolution plastic goniometer that permits observation of the axis of motion and ROM of the joint being measured.
UG has been considered the gold standard for clinical assessment of ROM.
It has a good reliability for AROM with ICC ranging from 0.53 to 0.65, and SEM calculated to be 14-25.
