About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Adhesive Capsulitis focused on measuring Adhesive Capsulitis, ROM, Dynasplint

Eligibility Criteria

40 Years - 64 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis
  • greater than 50% limitation in active flexion, internal rotation, or external rotation
  • Tight GHJ capsule in at least 2 directions
  • Capsular end-feel primarily limits ROM
  • Age 40- 64
  • Normal X-Rays

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute adhesive capsulitis
  • History of Diabetes Mellitus
  • Evidence of a cuff tear
  • Recent history of trauma
  • Evidence of glenohumeral DJD
  • History of shoulder surgery
  • Calcification of tendonitis demonstrated on a current X-Ray
  • Abnormal X-Ray
  • Cervical Radiculopathy/brachial plexus lesions
  • Less than 2+/5 muscle strength during mid-line manual muscle testing
  • Muscle Atrophy
  • Presence of associated systematic conditions
  • History of prior therapy for current condition
  • Manipulation under anesthesia
  • Non compliance
  • Shoulder-Hand syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
  • History of prior injections for the current problem
  • Patient receiving worker's compensation
  • Shoulder symptoms with cervical provocative testing
  • Positive X-ray findings in the acromioclavicular or sternoclavicular joints
  • Abnormal physical signs or symptoms in the A-C or S-C joint

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

No Intervention

Experimental

Arm Label

Physical Therapy Group

Dynasplint Group

Arm Description

Patient's in the Physical Therapy Group will have the standard manual treatments during their usual physical therapy visits with no additional intervention

Along with standard manual physical therapy, patients will have a stretching device (Dynasplint) used in rehabilitation to regain ROM in stiff joints. Patients will use this device 20-30 minutes 2 times per day at home.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of physical therapy treatments required
Weeks of Dynasplint treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Shoulder Range Of Motion
Sharp FAS Neck and Shoulder
Disabilities of Arm, Hand, and Shoulder Questionnaire

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Dynasplint
Intervention Description
Dynamic splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load Prolonged Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated adjustable tension to increase Total End Range Time (TERT)to reduce contracture. The Dynasplint or "Experimental" group will add this therapy to their standard of care regimen
