the aim of this study is to compare the effect of Axillary Phonophoresis versus Post isometric facilitation in subjects with Adhesive capsulitis
Adhesive Capsulitis is a common cause of shoulder pain and disability and also a condition involving glen humeral pain and loss of motion. It is characterized by significant restriction of both active and passive motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder. The intervention strategies for AC include a trial of conservative therapy followed by more invasive procedures.it may be primary-onset is generally idiopathic or Secondary- results from known cause. Clinically, patients may present with pain and mild restriction of movement which can lead to a gross loss of function predisposing factor or surgical event . it is most frequent in women, diabetic population and patient older than 40 years .It is described as having 3 stages. Stage â… involves pain (freezing or painful stage) and lasts from 3 to 9 months and is characterized by an acute synovitis of the glen humeral joint. Stage â…¡ (frozen or transitional stage) includes pain and restricted movement and lasts from 4 to 12 months. Stage â…¢ (thawing stage) involves painless restriction and lasts from 12 to 42 months. Contributing factors include diabetes mellitus, stroke, thyroid disorder, dupuytren disease, complex regional pain syndrome and metabolic syndrome.
Axillary Phonophoresis and Post isometric facilitation play a major role in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis so this trial was conducted to determine which one has superiority. this trial has three groups. two experimental and one control group. pain ,function, pressure pain threshold will be measured.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| axillary diclophenac phonophoresis ( diclophen gel "voltaren gel") | Experimental | the subject in the axillary diclophenac phonophoresis group will receive axillary diclophenac phonophoresis using ultrasound 1 MHz to increases the absorbtion. Diclofenac phonophoresis will be applied beside conventional therapy program ,Apply the diclophen gel (voltaren gel) on the head of the US in the axillary pouch of the capsule at 1.5 W\cm2 for 10 minutes as pulsed U.S. the group will be treated for 4weeks, 3 sessions per week and all patients will be assessed pre and post intervention. |
|
| Post isometric Facilitation Techniques. | Experimental | the subject in the Post isometric Facilitation Techniques group will be treated by applying isometric contraction followed by isometric relaxation followed by stretching to the target muscle .when performing isometric facilitation with the shoulder in flexion , the patient was seated with his\her back supported and the therapist standing facing the patient's painful shoulder .the patient's shoulder joint was flexed to the maximum available range with the elbow completely flexed .the patient performed isometric contraction of the shoulder extensors against maximum resistance provided by the therapist .this contraction will last for 10 seconds followed by relaxation for 5 seconds .this contraction will allow the shortened shoulder extensors to relax and permit easier stretching.the group will be treated for 4weeks, 3 sessions per week and all patients will be assessed pre and post intervention. |
|
| traditional physiotherapy (infrared, supervised exercise program, home exercise program) | Active Comparator | The traditional physical therapy program, which includes Infrared (IR) lambs apply heat to deep joints such as shoulder joint. Avoid deltoid muscle; apply over thin, bony areas for maximum penetration. supervised exercise program are self-exercise included: 1-Codmans or pendulum exercise (circumduction): It should be done 5 times daily in 5 to 10 minute sessions Passive stretching exercise (for shoulder extensors, abductors, and internal rotator) home exercise program includes the same exercise as in supervised exercise program. The participant will instruct to perform exercises1-2 times/day within pain -free ROM. the group will be 4weeks, 3 sessions per week and all patients will be assessed pre and post intervention. |

| Axillary Diclofenac phonophoresis | Other | axillary diclophenac phonophoresis (voltaren gel) will be received three times per week for four weeks |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| pain intensity | numerical rating scale (NRS) will be used for assessment of pain intensity. the scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain | up to six weeks |
| pressure pain threshold | commander algometer will be used for measuring pressure pain threshold | up to six weeks |
| shoulder range of motion | digital goniometer will be used for measuring range of motion | up to six weeks |
| shoulder functional activity | Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (DASH) will be used for measuring shoulder function activity. it is a shortened version of the DASH questionnaire that uses 11 items to measure the degree of difficulty in performing various physical activities due to a shoulder, arm, or hand problem (6 items); the severity of pain and tingling (2 items); and the problem's effect on social activities, work, and sleep (3 items) | up to six months |
