The term ''frozen shoulder'' is defined as a clinical condition with restricted active and passive range of motion (ROM) in all directions, including flexion, abduction, and rotation.The objective of the study is to determine the effects of Scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and conventional physical therapy among patients with adhesive capsulitis.The study will be a randomized controlled trial (single-blinded parallel study), consisting of 2 groups- interventional group A and interventional group B.Group A will be given conventional physical therapy and group B will be given conventional physical therapy alongwith scapular PNF.Scapular PNF exercises are not included in our routine PT treatment programs and there is limited literature related to the PNF techniques. These techniques help develop muscular strength and endurance, joint stability, mobility, neuromuscular control and coordination all of which are aimed at improving the overall functional ability of patients.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional PT Group | Active Comparator | Conventional group will receive routine physical therapy including 10 ultrasound(1.5w/cm2 ,3 MHz continuous type, duration 10 minutes),hot packs (on affected region of shoulder for 10 minutes),shoulder ROM, stretching exercises, and joint mobilization five times per week for two weeks with 40 minutes duration of each session. Maitland mobilization will be given in supine position. · After giving glenohumeral joint distraction, caudal, dorsal, and ventral glides will be given at a rate of 2-3 oscillation/second for 1 to 2 minutes to patients. Grade I or II rhythmic oscillations will be applied in free range. |
|
| Scapular PNF + Conventional PT Group | Experimental | This group will receive scapular PNF techniques along with routine physical therapy (same as above). In this group 20 repetitions of diagonal scapular pattern (anterior elevation and posterior depression, posterior elevation and anterior depression) with 20 seconds rest period will be given to subjects. PNF techniques of rhythmic initiation and repeated contractions will be used in all patterns, applied for 40 minutes. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder Pain | Shoulder Pain will be measured on the basis of visual analogue scale of 0-100mm. A higher score signifies greater pain. | 2 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder range of motion (ROM) | Shoulder range of motion (ROM) will be measured through goniometer. A higher score signifies greater range. | 2 weeks |
