Abstract

INTRODUCTION: A study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of Scapular PNF technique and conventional physiotherapy with exercises on pain and Dynamic stability of scapula among Adhesive capsulitis subjects. METHODOLOGY: 20 subjects with Adhesive capsulitis were included in this study and randomly assigned into two groups A and B. Each group consisting of 10 subjects. Group A subjects were treated with scapular PNF technique and Conventional Physiotherapy (IFT). Group B with conventional physiotherapy (IFT) and exercises. Shoulder pain and Dynamic scapular stability were assessed before and after the intervention by Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) and Lateral scapular slide test respectively. RESULTS: The result is showed that Scapular PNF technique along with Conventional Physiotherapy is effective in reducing Shoulder pain and improving Dynamic scapular stability. When comparing conventional physiotherapy with exercises on pain among Adhesive capsulitis the statistical result showed that there was significance difference between both the groups, but when analyzing mean difference of both groups, Group A received Scapular PNF techniques along with conventional physiotherapy showed more difference than Group B. When comparing Scapular PNF technique with conventional physiotherapy and conventional physiotherapy with exercises on Dynamic scapular stability, the statistical result showed that there was significant difference between both the groups. When analyzing mean difference of both groups, group A received Scapular PNF techniques along with conventional physiotherapy showed more difference than group B. CONCLUSION: Hence we can conclude that Scapular PNF technique along with conventional physiotherapy(IFT) were found to be more effective than conventional physiotherapy with exercises in reducing pain and improving Dynamic scapular stability among Adhesive capsulitis subjects.
