Comparison of Capsular Stretching and Passive Joint Mobilization in Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis

Comparison of Capsular Stretching and Passive Joint Mobilization in Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis

The aim of this research is to determine the effects of capsular stretching versus passive joint mobilization on Pain, range of motion and Quality of life in patients with Idiopathic Adhesive capsulitis.

In reference study, patients with Adhesive capsulitis were given the option to examine the immediate effects of posterior capsule stretching and scapular mobilization. They came to the conclusion that extending the posterior capsule improved shoulder range of motion. Current study will assess all shoulder movements and also showing effect on Quality of life of patients with adhesive capsulitis.
