Background -Adhesive capsulitis is a nonspecific chronic inflammatory reaction of tissues in the Glenohumeral joint which causes synovial thickening. This Thickening results in limited range of motion (ROM) most commonly seen in Shoulder abduction and external rotation. The onset can be insidious or occur after an injury. Aim -The purpose of this case report is to describe proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation with scapular stabilization exercise Interventions on pain, range and function for a patient with adhesive capsulitis. Case Description:-The patient was a 50-year-old right-handed male who presented with left Shoulder pain and limited range of motion (ROM) The diagnosis of adhesive capsulitis was determined following mechanism of Injury, past medical history, and physical therapy examination and evaluation. Intervention:-The patient was seen for a total of 12 physical therapy sessions over the Span of 3 weeks. Interventions included a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, Scapular stabilization exercise including Scapular clock exercise,shoulder sling exercise and Lawnmower exercise .Outcome measures included ROM measurements, pain Ratings, the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) Conclusion -Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation with Scapular stability exercise were found to be effective interventions for a patient with adhesive capsulitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
