Effect of HVLA vs MET on Shoulder Mobility and Pain in Adhesive Cpsulitis (HVLA-MET-AC)
2026年5月14日 更新者：Memoona Saleem、Green International University
COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF HIGH-VELOCITY LOW-AMPLITUDE (HVLA) THRUST AND MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE (MET) ON SHOULDER MOBILITY AND PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS
This study compared the effects of High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) thrust and Post-Isometric Relaxation Muscle Energy Technique (PIR-MET) on pain and shoulder mobility in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Sixty-six participants received either HVLA or PIR-MET with conventional physiotherapy for four weeks.
Both treatments improved pain and range of motion, but PIR-MET showed significantly greater improvement, making it a more effective approach for managing frozen shoulder symptoms.

详细说明
This study compared the effectiveness of High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) thrust and Post-Isometric Relaxation Muscle Energy Technique (PIR-MET) in treating adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder).
Sixty-six patients received either HVLA or PIR-MET along with conventional physiotherapy for four weeks.
Both treatments improved pain and shoulder mobility, but PIR-MET showed significantly better results in reducing pain and increasing range of motion.
The study concluded that PIR-MET is a more effective manual therapy technique for managing adhesive capsulitis and improving patients' functional recovery and quality of life.

干预/治疗 |
|---|---|
|
实验性的：Group A- HVLA Thrust
Participants in this group received high velocity, low amplitude thrust manipulation to the glenohumeral joint.
Treatment was delivered by a trained physical therapist.
The intervention aimed to restore joint mobility and reduce pain in patients diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis.
Sessions were conducted 3 times per week for 12 weeks, in addition to a standardized home exercise program.
|
A manual therapy technique involving a quick, controlled thrust applied to the glenohumeral joint at the end of the available range of motion.
The goal is to improve joint play and mobility.
Each session lasted approximately 10-15 minutes.
The intervention was performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks.
Adverse events were monitored throughout the study.

实验性的：Group-B MET
Participants in this group received muscle energy technique applied to the shoulder muscles to improve range of motion and decrease pain.
The technique involved active contraction of the patient against manual resistance followed by stretching.
Sessions were conducted 3 times per week for 12 weeks, in addition to a standardized home exercise program.
|
An active manual therapy technique where the patient contracts the shoulder muscles against the therapist's resistance, followed by a passive stretch.
Target muscles included the posterior capsule, pectoralis major, and rotator cuff as indicated.
Each session lasted approximately 15-20 minutes.
The intervention was performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks.

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain
大体时间：Baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention
|
Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), a 10 cm scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Participants marked their perceived shoulder pain level before and after the four-week intervention period.
