Abstract
INTRODUCTION : The upper limbs of the human body constitute slightly less than 10 percent of the total body weight. The small segment of body mass, however, contains one of the principal physical features separating from the rest of the animal world, the human hand. The intricate gross and skilled functions performed by the hand are dependent on mobile yet strong base provided by the shoulder complex. Each of the upper limb of the human body constitutes only 2.5 percent of the total body weight. The shoulder complex comprises fully one half the weight of entire upper limb. It is very essential for upper limb functions. The complex is connected to the axial skeleton by a single joint and is suspended by muscles that secure the shoulder girdle to the rest of the body. The joint is affected by many pathological conditions. Among them, the most important is Adhesive Capsulitis. It usually occurs between the ages of 40 and 60 years. It occurs unilaterally in most of the cases and bilateral involvement occurs in 10 to 40 percent. OBJECTIVES : •To determine the efficacy of physiotherapeutic techniques in the treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis. •To systematically compare the efficacy of Muscle Energy Technique and Active Exercise in the treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis. CONCLUSION : It was concluded that there is an effective reduction of pain among patients with Adhesive Capsulitis by Ultrasound Therapy and active Exercise. It was concluded that there is improvement in Shoulder function among patients with shoulder pain treated with Ultrasound Therapy and Active Exercise. It was concluded that there is reduction of pain among patients with Adhesive Capsulitis treated with Ultrasound Therapy and Muscle Energy Technique for their shoulder pain. It was concluded that there is improvement also in shoulder function among patients with Adhesive Capsulitis treated with Ultrasound Therapy and Muscle Energy Technique. It was concluded that combination of Ultrasound Therapy with Active Exercise training group showed statistically significant improvement in pain and shoulder function than the other group.
