This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with steroid via posterior approach versus hydrodilatation with steroid with axillary nerve injection for treating patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Although the middle gluteal muscle is an important stabilizer of the pelvis, no relationship has yet been described between the Great Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) and the resistance of the core muscles. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a core resistance program on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 36 postmenopausal women with clinical diagnosis of GTPS, who will be randomized into 2 groups: group 1 (hip exercises) and group 2 (hip + core exercises). The treatment protocol will be performed twice a week, for 4 weeks. The same evaluation will be done in 3 moments (in the pre-treatment period, after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the end of treatment, as a follow up), and will consist of the following analyzes: quality of life (Hip Outcome Score - HOS questionnaire), GTPS severity (VISA-G questionnaire), muscle activation (electromyography - EMG), dynamic postural control (force platform - CoP), muscle strength (load cell), core resistance (supine bridge test and prone bridge test) and pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale). Expected results: It is intended to establish the effect of a resistance program of core muscles on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with SDGT.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of muscle energy technique on adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 12-week ViFive program, a vision-based artificial intelligent digital care plan for chronic knee pain. ViFive digital care plan is delivered by a physical therapy team consisting of physical therapists and a personal coach. We aim to understand the safety and efficacy of this vision artificial intelligent based home exercise program.

Adhesive capsulitis, is a common problem characterized by the insidious onset of glenohumeral pain and limitation of shoulder motion in all planes. Clinically, frozen shoulder could be divided into freezing, frozen and thawing stage. The treatments of frozen shoulder are mainly conservative, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy. Due to debilitating pain at a certain stage and protracted clinical course, intra-articular corticosteroid injection in the early stages of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis has long been used to treat adhesive capsulitis with satisfactory result. However, intra-articular steroid injection still raise some controversy and is still considered too invasive for some patients. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a safe and non-invasive alternative. LLLT can employ photo-biomodulation effects to help normalize cellular functions and is considered to have partial effect in many shoulder soft tissue disorders. Possible mechanisms include increasing adenosine triphosphate production, fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. One prospective cohort study has shown that LLLT can be effective in the management of the early phase (less than 6 weeks of disease onset) of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder in elderly who failed to respond to conventional physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and improvement was found maintained up to 2 years. To this date, no randomized controlled study has been made to establish the possible role of LLLT as an adjuvant therapy on adhesive capsulitis. Also, no study has researched the effect of LLLT on patient with later stage/chronic phase of adhesive capsulitis. The objective of this paper is to report the clinical result of a study on the efficacy of LLLT as an add-on therapy in the management of adhesive capsulitis.

The purpose of this study is to identify individuals 18 or older who have diagnostic presentation of adhesive capsulitis and randomize them into two arms, distinguished by use of physical therapy and steroid injections compared with steroid injections followed by watchful waiting. This prospective study will be used to determine whether there is a significant impact on patient outcome and whether the additional financial burden is justified. There are no experimental interventions for this study. The use of physical therapy, oral and parenteral corticosteroids, and watchful waiting are offered following the standard of care for adhesive capsulitis. Our hypothesis is that patients will not have a significant difference in outcome between the two study arms. One group will undergo regular physical therapy with corticosteroid injections (Arm 1) and the other will have steroid injections during the inflammatory phase only and then be regularly observed (Arm 2). We also hypothesize there will be a significant financial burden associated with the PT arm that is not justified with the possibility of increased symptom reports in that arm.

Adhesive capsulitis (AC), also known as frozen shoulder, is an insidious, painful condition of the shoulder lasting more than 3 months. This inflammatory condition causing fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule is accompanied by gradual progressive stiffness and marked limitation of range of motion (typically external rotation). Patients experiencing this condition often suffer from poor quality of life due to the limitation of both the active and passive range of shoulder mobility. The prevalence of frozen shoulder is between 2-5% and is more common in women. Along with the increase in comorbidities and changes in lifestyle, the incidence of FS is increasing. However, the natural history and pathogenesis of adhesive capsulitis have not been widely studied and are still unknown. Adhesive capsulitis presents clinically as shoulder pain with progressive restricted movement, both active and passive, with normal radiographic scans of the glenohumeral joint. Classically, it progresses prognostically with 3 overlapping stages: pain (stage 1, lasting 2-9 months), stiffness (stage 2, lasting 4-12 months), and healing (stage 3, lasting 5-24 months). However, this is an estimated time frame and many patients may still experience symptoms after 6 years. Treatment modalities include conservative (ie, steroid injection, physiotherapy) and operative (ie, distension arthrography, manipulation under anesthesia, and arthroscopic release). Various physical therapy treatments commonly used in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis include ice pack, hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and active and passive ROM exercises, joint mobilization techniques, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), supervised home exercise programs, and Kinesio taping.

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) also known as frozen shoulder typically manifests to decrease range of motion (ROM) and function and increase pain in shoulder .Objective of the study is To compare the effects of Myofascial Arm Pull Technique and Post-isometric Relaxation on Pain, Range of Motion and functional disability in adhesive capsulitis after mastectomy. The study design will be a Randomized Clinical Trial that will be used to compare the effects of Myofascial arm pull technique with post isometric relaxation. Subject with adhesive capsulitis meeting the predetermined inclusion & exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using numeric pain rating scale NPRS for pain , shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) tool for disability and Goniometer for Range of motion. Consent will be taken from patients by consent form the patients. They will be divided into two groups randomly by Random Number Generator table: Group A and Group B. For common treatment, both the groups will receive Ultrasound with a dosage of 1 MHz in frequency, continuous mode and 1.5 W/ cm2 of intensity for 10 minutes of treatment duration and Movement with mobilization will be applied for 15 times in 3 sets, and a 1- minute rest period was provided between each set. Group A will be given Post isometric relaxation technique with ultrasonic therapy. Group B will be given myofascial arm pull technique with ultrasonic. Total intervention protocol will be given for four weeks of duration 3 sessions per week with total 12 sessions. In Post isometric relaxation technique the therapist will slowly provide resistance in the direction of flexion, abduction, or external rotation, and without the subject intending to move for 15 minutes/ day, 3 times/week for 12 weeks. Similarly, myofascial arm pull technique the therapist will hold arm of the subject firmly and initial stretch will be applied in abduction and external rotation for 8-10 times in each session per day for 3 days/week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.

Introduction: Adhesive capsulities or Frozen shoulder is one of the common causes of shoulder pain and disability in the upper extremity. It affects the functions of glenohumeral joint, limiting both active and passive movements of the shoulder. One way of non-surgical treatment method that has been receiving attention recently is extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). ESWT is a pulsed sound wave, characterized by short duration, high pressure amplitude, and relatively low tensile wave component. ESWT has beenrepotreatingtreat a variety of pain conditions effectively and safely. Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to determine whether ESWT could be effective in thetreatment of adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder.
